Free mandolin workshop is set
ARCADIA — Country and bluegrass musician Virgil Bonham will teach a mandolin workshop from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 16 at the Arcadia Round Barn.
Bonham, who lives in Kingfisher, sings and plays mandolin in Bonham ReVue, The Bonhams and the Bonham Brothers.
The workshop is for all levels of mandolin players, as well as for people who don’t own a mandolin but are interested in the instrument. Players should bring their mandolins, and a few loaner instruments might be available for those who don’t own one. There is no charge for the workshop.
At the conclusion of the workshop, Bonham will present a short concert.
The Arcadia Round Barn is six miles east of Interstate 35 on historical Route 66.
It is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week.
Admission is free, but donations are accepted for the maintenance of the barn, which was built in 1898 and is owned and operated by the Arcadia Historical and Preservation Society.
