Ernie, one of the real characters of Lark Camp, plays buzuki, sings the blues, and plays flamenco guitar.  He also talks about the bands he almost was in ("The Monkees"), how Lark Camp was started, gives some advice to musicians, and tells stories about musicians and the music scene in California.

as well as that of the Institute for Traditional Studies

This is an introduction to my other podcast feed, maqamlessons.

I took samples recorded from a class at Lark Camp this last August, and explain how the maqam lessons are structured & how best to use them.  I also talk a little about my teaching philosophy.
