Marana DBA Workshop 12/17
Hey all this will be our last Workshop of the year. We will cover a couple Bill Monroe tunes and review "Boil Them Cabbage Down" again as our Fiddle Tune. Well review some Bass runs in our Progressions. And as a special treat break into small jam bands with a band scramble and see what we can produce.
Here are a few clips of some of the beginning masters of Bass runs for your listening pleasure :

Christmas and the DBA
Hey all
Again we have another workshop coming up and the new year of 2015 just around the corner. I really hope you all enjoy our Workshop, it's still a work in progress but seems to get better every year. The leaders of this group, Dave, Jim and Jeff put a lot of work into the Workshop to try and please everyone in attendance. We hope you're satisfied, but I'm sure we occasionally miss the Mark. If so please feel free to contact any one of us for possible improvements, were always looking for quality input.
Today we had a wonderful time playing at the Oro Valley Marketplace, we even earned some cash for the DBA. Please try and get involved in some of these Christmas events that the DBA has, we're all about giving back to this wonderful community that we live in. We hope what is learned at the workshops can be passed on to our community. After all one of the most precious gifts that we can give is the gift of music, it makes everyone happy. How can you not smile while listening to Bluegrass, it's so upbeat.
My hope for the future of our Workshop is to get more young people involved, for that is our future. Let's make 2015 the introduction of Bluegrass to our youth. I hope you all agree!
See you all on Wednesday!

The light

The hope that has slumbered for 2000 years
The promise that silenced 1000 fears
A faith that can hobble an ocean of tears
The peace of Christmas Day

Add all the grief that people may bear
Total the strife, the troubles and care
Put them in columns and leave them right there
