It's truly rewarding to see our "newbies" learn and enjoy this musical experience. Some of us also join with the Temecula Strummers at the Murrieta Senior Center twice a month to play and sing old-time music. We would love to have you visit us any Friday at 1 pm in the Annex. We will teach you how to play this easy instrument so you can sing and laugh with us. Please call me for more information. Strummers By Judy Moore, 949-468-7375
