ESL Folk · Accessing language and culture through American folk music
This is absolutely fantastic, Matt! I’ve been “flatfooting” it under my desk, after watching your YOU TUBE on the same subject. The music is phenomenal…and if one day, i become something of a banjo player, it’ll be because of YOU!!!!
Check out our YOU TUBE of the USS BLUE RIDGE band with the banjo player performing as well!! USe: VLADCONSULATE in the search!
Good luck on the next chapter of your life! Great having you here!!!
Great site!! I just add the link to my own!!
Good luck on all your tours!!!
These lesson plans will be great to use in China ! Thanks to Matt and the ESL folk people. Will you be putting up anymore videos to see how you are implementing the lesson plans ?
