Jean Ritchie: In Song and Story

Inspired by Jean Ritchie’s book “Singing Family of the Cumberlands,” this workshop offers recollections that transport us to another era. Consider these songs front porch favorites as you imagine a family gathering at the end of the day to recount the day’s activities and to bring in the twilight. Several tunings will be presented, including DAd, DAA, and DAC.

This technique can be fast for fiddle tunes, or slow and sweet for an early country sound. We’ll learn the technique and one of each and you’ll be hooked! DAd tuning
