Sule Greg Wilson--banjoist, dancer and drummer (and founding member of

the Carolina Chocolate Drops)--will be the featured guest at a special

meeting of the Fiddle Club of the World (Chicago Chapter) on Sunday,

May 29 at 6:30pm.  The Club meets in the back room of the Atlantic Bar

& Grill at 5062 N. Lincoln in Chicago.  The evening starts with a

concert to be followed by a jam session/workshop.  The Fiddle Club

website hosts downloadable sound files of tunes to be learned for the

session, including Colored Aristocracy, Old Joe Clark (Drops' style)

and Wowoya, an African spiritual. Sule will also teach us the soft

shoe classic Shim Sham Shimmy in preparation for the Fiddle Club

Square & Ceilidh dance to be held at the July meeting.



Registration for this single meeting is $15.  Yearly dues of $60 gets

you in to all Fiddle Club events.  Besides saving money, you get a

nifty Fiddle Club card with your name and renewal date.  Check out

If the Shim Sham Shimmy is anything like this video, it's going to be fun to give it a try . . .

See you there-looks like I'm not going to Mt. Airy after all.



Is this going to be a more banjo oriented event? I'm trying to decide what to bring.

I've got a black banjo but can't make it.  Tell Sule hey for me.
