Dick, rest assured we have not strayed from our "original participation concept" -- in fact, we plan the program with maximum participation in mind! There will be some mini-concerts, of course -- but not more than 8 or 10 half-hour sessions in the course of the weekend. Our invited guests simply add to the mix. We'll have a preliminary list of workshops ready to post in a week or so (but don't hold us to that date -- much remains to be done, and we're still trying to figure out which FSGW folks will be there).

Linda and Mary -- Songs of the Copper Family is a great idea, and we'll take it under advisement. Any suggestions or volunteers on who could lead it?

Planning is moving apace, and it's looking like a great program already. Not that we've ever had a bad one...

To be continued...
