It's rhumba time!

As an old-time folkie, my beats are pretty square, which is why I'm glad we have Rich Boban in class to spice things up! 

Song 1: Miami Beach Rhumba by Xavier Cugat. Everyone made fun of me because I was the only one in the room who didn't know who Xavier Cugat was. He plays a mighty sweet rhumba, though. 



Song 2: Stormy by Classics IV. Bring back that sunny day!

Triplet strums!

Cindy Contractor introduced me to Stuart Fuchs and his wonderful videos. Check out his tutorial on how to do the triplet strum-- he explains it more clearly than I ever could. Enjoy!
