August Week I Banjo

I am delighted to be back at MFC this summer teaching banjo, fiddle, sharing stories, getting up to high jinks. I have over 60 years of performing and teaching music behind me but I think my daughter’s bio for me at 33 still holds. (Except for the brown hair with a little auburn. It’s now grey with a little brown.)

Bio for Jennifer Armstrong by Georgia Rose, age 10.

My mother is 33 and getting smarter every day. Her hair is dark brown with a small amount of auburn in it.  She is a music maker and gives her music to schools, libraries and nursing homes.  She has two girls. A ten year old and a nine year old. Her skills in cooking are slowly growing better. She has just finished playing banjo, fiddle, guitar, lap dulcimer and spoons in a production of Quilters.  She says she is inspired to make a quilt herself. She’ll need a lot of help and wishful thinking. (That tells you her skills with a needle. Ha ha ha ha!)  She’s doing her best in life and in my opinion its pretty good.  She is honest, hard working, beautiful and is a heck of a fiddle player.  I love her a whole lot!
