Hi Reggie,
It was fun having you along.
I think this was my 12th straight run at Rainycamp
and it seemed colder than usual and with less sleep.
The highlights for me, in addition to meeting old friends, were
instrumental jamming and singing after the big song circle on Fri. nite
more instrument playing along with singing at my Sat morning workshop
I didn't use any handouts that I had prepared, but it just seemed to
go organically with a good group of singers/instrumentalists.
Two workshops that afternoon,
sea songs - a perennial favorite
and Bob's workshop on performing - Bob could package that and take it on the road.
The open mic (no mic) that evening was fun - the lodge is a great acoustic space.
And Sunday morning a few of us just gathered around the fire in the lodge
for an impromptu jam - no agenda, just music (that's what it's all about).
And of course the food was great as usual (the real test for a good camp)
So now it's back to the usual mundane things like more sleep,
and catching up on all those other neglected things.

Cheers, S. in Seattle
