everyone<br>
<br>
Busy, busy, busy. Thanks to everyone who came out to see my various gigs
in February. I saw a lot of familiar and friendly faces in my
audience. Here's March:<br>
<br>
March 1 - 13: Palace Theater in Playhouse Square, Cleveland, OH - I will
be performing in the lobby of the Palace Theater before each showing of
"Shrek: The Musical." You might remember that I used to play
for the Palace a lot years ago and I am glad to be able to get back in the
rotation. Times vary, so here is the link:<br>

<br>
Monday, March 14: Stewart Room at the Randall Campus Center, Malone
University in Canton, OH, 7:30pm- I will be appearing as a guest performer at
the recital of Michael Curtis, my friend and fellow guitar instructor at Malone
University. We will be playing a couple of pieces together. Michael
and I used to play at a restaurant years ago, so it will be like old
times. <br>
<br>
Early notice: I will be playing a benefit concert for a breast cancer
research charity on April 9 at Crossroads Bible Fellowship in Akron. More
information to come, but mark the date. This will be a fun night.<br>
<br>
In other news, many of you who have know me a long time have probably picked up
on the fact that I am a biiiiiiig fan of guitarist Phil Keaggy. I have
been playing Phil's stuff for years and he is among the earliest and most
important influences on my playing. Since I have studied his fingerstyle
guitar music for so long and since I have enjoyed transcribing his music as
much as I have, I have decided to hold a workshop on his music this
summer. "The Fingerstyle Guitar of Phil Keaggy" will be held at
Malone University on June 24 and 25. I have chosen three of Phil's
fingerstyle compositions ("Evensong," "Paka," and
"Epilogue"), worked up all-new detailed transcriptions, and will be
teaching them over the course of a couple days. This will be a lot of fun
for any Keaggy fan or fingerstyle guitarist who wants to dig into some of that
kind of music a little deeper. The cost of the workshop is $80 and will
include all class materials and transcriptions. There is a new page on my
website about it: <a href="http://www.adamcord.com/id20.html" target="_blank">http://www.adamcord.com/id20.html</a>
If you play fingerstyle (and I know that some of you do) or you know some
fingerstyle players or Phil Keaggy fans who want to learn how to play some of
his pieces, write me! Please note that Phil Keaggy himself will not be
teaching or attending, but I did talk with him about it and he gave his full
approval. Forward this e-mail to any guitarists that you know or send
them to my website. I think that this can be a great event that is lots
of challenging fun and I want lots of people there. There is a page
dedicated to the event on Facebook as well, which contains a video of
Phil and I performing together last fall in Pennsylvania: <a

If you do the Facebook thing, check it out.<br>
<br>
OK, that's all for now. Here comes some warm weather, I promise.<br>
<br>
Blessings,<br>
AC<br>
