Ah khandu, what a pleasure! Others can give you more information but since I got to go there last year and plan to go again this year, allow me to enthuse!

It is a music camp? festival? No, it is a getaway, set up a long time ago - like 40 years - by the Folklore Society of Greater Washington (Is that right? FSGW) and now frequented also by Mudcatters. It is a WONDERFUL time of music, jamming, workshops, artsy craftsy tables, CD tables, meeting new friends, and chilling out (brrrrrrrrr from Friday evening until about 10:00 Monday morning at Camp Ramblewood in Maryland about 2 hours north of DC.

There are multiple cabins, including the infamous Mudcat Cabin (don't ask), Quiet Cabins, Noisy Cabins and numerous main buildings, including a dining hall. Rita (Ferrara) is the Go To Gal for us.

You get to meet and hear many Folklore Society members as well as far-ranging Mudcats. People come from the UK; Skarpi is coming from Iceland this year; several come from Alaska, some from Michigan and Maine and it is NOT far from Mississippi (or is it 'Missouri'? and from all other points. Do come.

(And now, I will open myself to amplification, correction and mortification.)
