I arrived at 4:30 and was still alone at 5:45. Three people showed up then and a little later a musician showed up. He was very good. He left after 4 songs. And the owner played some songs for awhile. Then the three people left and so did I.

Great fun! Enjoyed singing with Laurel's group! Terrific performances by all the groups! I will definitely attend Slow Jam Sunday again!
— Linda Morgan
I loved playing out side,in the Park, on such a Wonderful day.
— Chuck Fitzgerald
Wow, there was quite a few people but I liked breaking up into smaller groups of 4-5. I brought a couple of songs but I really don' know music all that well. It would be nice if more people who know music would bring songs and a couple of pages with the words and chords for us who need it. I didn't play my Autoharp because I had to focus on singing --hopefully I will get better at singing and playing! Thanks Jeff for encouraging us!

Really learned alot. I could do most of what was taught. Enjoyed the emphasis on the guitar as the glue and rhythm.
— Janice Lantz
Chris taught one of the best workshops I've every attended! This is a great kickoff to the year ahead. We're so fortunate to have such talent in San Diego, and I feel privileged to be a part of it. Let's ask him to come back again.
— Christine
Chris Stuart is modest, patient, and wonderful instructor. Excellent workshop!
— Roger Taylor
The time went very fast. Learned a lot and had a good time.
— Rick
Chris is not only a great singer/songwriter but an educator as well. His lessons were very well structured, beginning with the most elemental skills and then progressing, in easily "digested" increments to more complex activities. I really appreciated the way he made us all stand up and "step" to the beat he intended to teach us on the guitar. This guy is a top notch educator!
— Lisa
5 stars and 2 thumbs up! Enjoyed Chris's workshop immensely and learned a lot about boom chick. There was a rumor that Chris might also hold a clawhammer banjo workshop as well as more guitar workshops. Count me in:))
— Barbara Brooks
Chris hit it on the nail head. The fine points, riythyym guitar is glue that hold the string band together. He really held the group together for 3 hours. What a nice afternoon. Remember, use the metronome in practice, and use dynamics to compliment singers and other players, and bass runs don't need to be complicated to have very nice effect in a song. Thanks much Chris. Come back and see us anytime.

A great musical experience. The guest was outstanding. The circle was filled with joyful sharing of music. How lucky we are to be with such fine musicians and people.

Claudia's songs were original, dynamic, well-composed and balanced. She is a polished performer with a strong, musical voice that rivals some of the best artists in the country. Wow! I really enjoyed her! Her newest CD, Let the Storm Roll In, is excellent. I feel privileged to have heard Claudia live.
— Roger Taylor
Great performance by Claudia. Large friendly group of strummers and pickers and singers.
— Don and Audrey
Claudia was a hit with the huge crowd we had for PFC. Deep songs, great humor, beautiful voice. Can't wait the see her again hear in San Diego. She has a fantastic new CD, and previewed songs to come out hopefully this year on another. Thanks So much Claudia, you are a favorite.
— Jeff Bertino
Claudia was wonderful and a very talented gal. Even though she had been up since 4 am, she stuck it out and sang and played beautifully. As usual, I really enjoyed the evening.
