Dori spent this past weekend at the Alabama Folk School in Nauvoo, Alabama taking a guitar workshop from the incredible Herb Trotman. She came away with a wealth of music theory, some new skills to practice, and very sore fingers.

During her regular visits to the Alabama Folk School she take time to hike, sit in rockers and visit, photographs for her paintings, peeks in on the visual artists, and enjoys the concerts and jam sessions that arise among the musicians. She's on the advisory board, too, and recommends y'all sign up for one of the best weekends you can have. They offer visual art, music, and writing workshops.
