Whoa! I'm going to have to kick Bill D off the computer more often so I don't get so far out of touch here! :-)

Where to start?

Fortunato, you suggested "Help I am Lost Please Direct Me to 1935." Sorry, that's too long to type in the grid! :-) So, would you settle for "Back to 1935?" or "Back to the 30's"?

You can PM me for details.

CET, I'm thinking of having a session called "Civil Wars" and one called "Uncivil Wars." I would like to get someone from the US and someone from the UK to co-lead the Civil Wars. I know several people who do songs from the American Civil war but would like to hear from any mudcatters who are interested. CET, do you do a lot of that type of music?

On the subject of session leaders, it helps to have two or more people leading a session.

Dani, have you just volunteered to lead "Scary Stories and Songs" around the camp fire on Friday or Saturday night? It may have to be after 11pm so as not to conflict with the concert though. I'll give that some thought. We do have a kids' campfire led by Annie Storr and Joe Offer, it's been especially nice since Joe has been there to captivate the kids with his story telling magic.

CET, not sure what you mean by vocal warm up sessions. There are plenty of places for people to warm up, but also, Lisa Null will be doing her vocal clinic for an hour each day. Last year I think she spent a lot of time talking about warm-ups. Would you like to lead a vocal warm-ups session, either first thing in the morning or after lunch one day? I think it would be very welcome, lots of people would be interested in learning more about it. PM me about it OK?

My vague plan is to post the list of workshops planned to date, and tell which ones still need leaders. I should also post that on the Web site. It would sure save me a lot of phone calling if people came to me and OFFERED to help. ESPECIALLY, those of you who are long-time members of FSGW, and have led stuff in the past, or wanted to do so --- I would LOVE to hear from you. If I haven't already called you it's because I'm an air head, not because I'm not interested.

You know who you are.

Jeri! I hereby appoint you leader of the session on "Songs Bill D Will Hate!" (Just kidding -- I think)

GutBucket, I haven't found a leader yet for a Jug Band session. Have only asked two people so far though. Could you lead it if you only have to lead one or two songs? (That's the first, and the last if you wish.) Then you just start asking the other participants who wants to lead something. If you run out of songs, you all can leave.... no problem. I would LOVE to have this session.

SWIMMERS: I DON't believe the camp would look kindly on our using the pool. They have a caretaker who fussed last year just because we un-stacked the pool chairs for the Shanty Sing. (Charlie, can you clear it ahead of time this year for us to use the pool area for singing if desired?)

Anybody who wants to help with anything, just post to this thread or PM me. If you don't hear from me, PM Bill D who will beat me with a wet noodle and make me check my mail.

We will be having a Silent Auction again this year to benefit the Getaway Scholarship Fund.

If you would like a grant from said Scholarship Fund, indicate it on your registration and write a separate note about why you need it. Funds are limited but we try hard to help.

I was taking names as I read this thread, so will be sending PM's to several people WRT the program.
