A while back, an email arrived to NWSF, inquiring about how to get tickets for the Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas Concert on the 19th. We exchanged information- but much to my surprise- this woman saw NWSF play at the Everett Public Library last may, and could not wait to come to this concert!
Thank you Ginger for your enthusiasm and support!!

I find it so hard to believe that the workshop has come and gone, so quickly. I feel blessed to have made so many new friends, and to have met so many incredible people, of all ages!
When I play the choons I learned this past weekend, I will fondly remember all of you! Many more photos are on their way! Send us your favorite, if you like!
