Thread Name: Getaway 2010 Program Planning
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning
I'm planning to attend again this year (5 in a row!)

I enjoy the genre-themed workshops, like the Cowboy songs, Crime songs, Railroad songs sessions. I wish sometimes people attending would take the time to, for example, prepare a train song instead of performing a song they like to play and announce it as "well it's not exactly a train song, but many engineers were religious, so here's The Old Rugged Cross." I know....picky picky picky.

Would there be any interest in a workshop/session where people perform their own songs? I realize the Getaway is mainly about traditional music, but I know there are a lot of songwriters who attend, and I would love to hear their stuff in a song-circle environment, maybe even tabbed with lyrics so that others could play and sing along.
