I'll do that.

Wow! This was great. Thanks.

In our time, we got to have a vary interesting adventure in how to make a living. What advice would you give to young people now who want the same time kind of life?

What advice would you give to young people who would like to live such an entrepreunurial life?

A Classic Conversation with Layne Jones

Entrada Institute

After enjoying a week filled with chamber music, you have the opportunity to learn much more about a lesser known string instrument: the ukelele. On Friday evening June 9 and all day Saturday June 10, the Entrada Institute is sponsoring two workshops and a concert featuring the ukelele. This is an incredible opportunity to learn more about this small string instrument from instructors and musicians who are passionate about all the ukelele has to offer.

To attend either workshop or the concert, go to www.entradainstitute.org, click on "Events," select "Attend an Event," and then fill out the brief form for each event that you wish to attend. These events will not be livestreamed on Facebook, so you will want to join your friends at Robbers Roost to learn more about the ukelele and hear it played by musicians who love its sound.

We Terri Henry & I have some questions about the ukulele workshops on sat. So you’ve got the schedule for June 10th. What kind of chairs do you have to sit in. I recently had a bad fall and landed on my back. So I need a supportive chair. 2nd - is this the type of workshop that you can go to one or two hrs of it and leave and then come back for more in the afternoon or is the idea that you’re there for the entire thing? 3rd - is the concert that we assume that starts at 6pm a separate ticket $10 or it inc with the price for Sat? 3rd is this indoors or outdoors? Lastly thank you for doing this. It sounds like a very fun experience!
