FESTIVAL MISSIONThe Albuquerque Folk Festival provides an opportunity for the public to experi-ence and participate in folk music, song, dance, storytelling, and crafts through educational workshops, demonstrations and performances. Folk activities enhance community expression and the continuance of cultural traditions.

THE FOLK ETHICThe Albuquerque Folk Festival is devoted to the Folk Ethic and is focused on self-expression, community, friendship, and social consciousness. It is non-commercial. It embraces the arts with an emphasis on participation rather than virtuoso talent. Enjoyment is discovered through personal involvement rather than fame through performance and recording. Those who are skillful at an activity are willing to teach beginners, for they were once beginners themselves who learned from others willing to help without cost. Following the Folk Ethic demonstrates that enriching others through sharing folk activities and resources is the greatest form of self-expression.

Workshop 1 111:00 Bluegrass vs. Old-Time (Wayne Shrubsall and Bruce Thom-

son) – Because the instrumentation is the same, many folks are confused about the distinction between bluegrass music and old-timey or traditional music. Though there are some dramatic differences, in fact, there are a lot of similarities too and many great musicians use ideas from both genres. This workshop will highlight the differences and the similarities by teaching tunes in both styles.

12:00 Apple Mountain Strings & Things Folk Music Club – Albu-querque-based acoustic instrument club where players at all skill levels enjoy well-loved folk tunes with friends. Come and just listen, or bring your instrument and play along.

1:00 Folk Harp – Stephanie Sjaardema will teach the basics of Folk Harp. Harps will be provided, or bring your own. We’ll start with an introduction to the instrument, followed by ba-sic chords, simple melodies, and more advanced techniques as time allows.

2:00 Ukulele (B) – If you were stranded on a desert island, what instrument would you want to have? Instructor Michael VeSeart will show you the basics of this fun and portable instrument. Aloha shirts are optional.

3:00 Gypsy Fiddle (I) – Come learn basic gypsy swing fiddle comping with Muni Kulasinghe of Le Chat Lunatique.

4:00 Bluegrass Flatpick Guitar (I) (Gregg Daigle) – Overview of the roles of flatpick guitar (rhythm and lead) in bluegrass music.

5:00 Mixing Originals with Older Styles – Come see how The Wilders, a hillbilly string band from Kansas City, mix origi-nal tunes with older styles.
