It amazes me every time I am around someone that plays any instrument. I am in awe of just how easy they make it look. Their hands just move effortlessly along the piano keys or strum the guitar strings with ease. As I write this, awe is not the right word. Jealous is probably closer. Playing any instrument takes work and dedication. My parents and grandparents would tell you I was dedicated...to talking!

A unique opportunity comes to Williston in early March.  Join award-winning Western Music Artist Almeda Bradshaw for a guitar workshop for adults and students on March 3 from 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm and March 4 from 9:00 am - 11:00 am.
