Native American Flute & Scottish Fiddle Workshop

Stephanie writes:

Hi Peter,

We've got an interesting performance coming up. I've been working with the organizers on this, but only recently found out that Arvel Bird (Native American) is also a Scottish Fiddler. Can you send this out to your list? Arvel will hold a flute/fiddle workshop on Friday February 23rd (tentatively 2:30pm) and a performance on Saturday, February 24th. We may be able to make some time for fiddlers to meet with him. Please let me know if you can send this out and if you (or anyone) are interested in meeting him. Hope to see you Sunday!
