Jeff Norman is teaching the master banjo session this year. He grew up in North Carolina, and learned to play traditional Old-tIme tunes while living in Southwest VA, where he was also a founding member of the Happy Hollow String Band. Later, Jeff started demonstrating banjos for Elderly Instruments on youtube and is often recognized as "that Elderly guy" at festivals. For more details, check out his page at www.mcotmf.org
