Randy Kohrs Dobro Workshop
On December 3rd, 2005 we were fortunate enough to host a dobro
workshop with Randy Kohrs. He was in town performing at Skippers
Smokehouse at a WMNF concert along with Jim Lauderdale and the
BLuegrass Parlor Band. He stopped by the store and did a 4 hour
workshop on that saturday and we had a great turnout of dobro
players for the event.
