Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2009, I had an assignment to photograph students at Lincoln Junior High in Bentonville during a meeting of the guitar club. I have to admit I am a little jealous of how well these young people can play. I have tried to play a little bit of everything – guitar, violin (fiddle), and banjo. And when I was young, took lessons for the piano and the cello. I never really did stick with any of these instruments for very long and it shows in how I play.

It is great that these students have a place to get together and jam with each other, even if it is just for 30 minutes before school. I hope they realize just how much talent they have and stick with the instrument. Here are a few more images of the players in action.
