History 142: Bill Ferris's class on Southern Music at UNC Chapel Hill, September 8, 2005

     We were honored to be the guests of Professor Bill Ferris for a class on old time music in his course on Southern Music (History 142) at the University of North Carolina. Unbelievably, seven of us made it from Raleigh with time to spare for the 8 AM class. In class, we shared our thoughts and experiences with the students and played a couple of tunes. Afterwards we had a great tour of the music resources in the Southern Folklife Collection at Wilson Library with curator Steve Weiss. At noon we played for an hour on the terrace behind Graham Memorial.  Four of us are UNC alums, so it really meant a lot to us.
    We're also featured with photos on the Thursdays on the Terrace page of the website of the Johnston Center for Undergraduate Excellence.
