Chirps Smith will be performing at the Fiddle Club of the World’s meeting on Sunday, April 20 at the Leadway Bar & Gallery.
For now, the Old Town School is handling the club meetings as if they were workshops. Call 773.728.6000 to register. Cost is $12. Your name will then be entered on a list that allows entrance to the club meeting. Only those registered for the workshop will be considered members. Space is limited. Register early.
These links don’t seem to work. They are short snippets of introducing the tune.
What web browser are you using? See above for “Click here for tips” I can guarantee that the tunes can all be downloaded to your computer. Playing them in your browser is more of a problem. I blame Quicktime.
