Of the sessions I attended last year, the one that I would most like to see repeated and expanded is the one about fiddle tunes. (I have been going through a related exercise lately.) Specifically, you could start with the straightforward tune that Bill might have been exposed to. Play it and talk about how Bill applied his philosophy/ style to it.
A part of that class, or a completely different class could be the evolution of his style. If you take "Darling Corey" for example, his version with Charlie is more like the old-time Darling Corey/Dig A Hole; the later version is more aggressive and "bluegrassy" for lack of a better term. Another idea for a class might be about Bill's sidemen. Did he play differently to accomodate different fiddlers or guitar players/ singers, for example? Also, I think a session on the influences of Bill would be cool. We have discussed this here: Prairie Ramblers, Mac and Bob, etc., Arnold Schultz. I would love to see Bobby Osborne come back. I knew of the Osborne Brothers and new a few tunes by them, but was really taken by his vocals.
