we were graced by a star of different proportions. Judi Richins, Part-Time freelance photographer and owner/instructor of the Red Bluff School of the Music Arts, a role she has played for 34 years. She has taught a lot of music and won numerous photography awards for her work. So, when we noticed her taking shots of the musicians, it was as natural as can be that the Ham's in the Grange Hall, started to style and profile as she clicked away... At any rate, we feel blessed, to have our jam photo's included on this page, but the special sauce here was a photographer attached to their instrument... more commonly known as a camera. We appreciate the interest Judi took in our jam. We were all pleased to be her subjects d'art. You can contact Judi by calling 530-529-0383 for inquiries about openings in classes.
