Hot Times at Old Town

Appearing below are selections from the hard copy Hot Times. The objective is to highlight activities at the School and in the larger community, especially those featuring or of special interest to teachers and staff. Your suggestions are welcome.

Frank Hamilton Workshops

Frank’s teaching inspired creation of the Old Town School of Folk Music. For the 50th anniversary, Frank came back to teach workshops for today’s students. This was a rare opportunity to learn from the man who had the school built around him. He’s still the same exciting, tall, skinny guy he was then; it’s just 50 years later.

During this trip, Frank taught two workshops: Accompaniment for Singing and a Beginners Approach to Jazz. Those of us who attended one or both have expressed the hope that the School will arrange to have him come back regularly — his teaching is both a link to our earliest days and an inspiration.

    Great to keep up with the news from the old folks back home.

    I miss the Old Town School and live in New York now. There is no Old Town School here or anywhere.
