Rick Weaver welcomes Judy Minot, an author, traditional musician, and local session player in the Lehigh Valley whose new book is aimed at helping aspiring "trad" musicians become better at their craft—and have fun doing it.

Minot's book, Best Practice: Inspiration and Ideas for Traditional Musicians, was released in April 2021. That month, it was the number one new music book on Amazon.

(Original air-date: 6/3/2021)
