REPORT

I'll say more later, cuz I'se tahred. I left a few hours early to get a jump on the drive-- right now the student band concert ought to be wrapping up. ABout 20 bands formed for the weekend to perform for each other, strangers joining up to see how band formation, song choice, and arranging really works. Just one small part of the total weekend-- mostly it was workshops and jams, NOT with band mates but just free-form jams by speed or genre, and great workshops on EVERYTHING.

Anyway I just back from folk college. I'se so smart now I gots a .MFed on mah naime. But I never did find Beth and her daughter! Lotta people there!

Folk collij was good. An acquaintance there saw me as I was about to leave and asked how I was-- it had been a late night jamming and he'd gone to bed early. "I'm asleep!" I said. "Me too!" he agreed. "But I'm having a very good dream!" I replied.

It was a total immersion weekend for all, and it was weird being in a place where everything was geared to how musicans are wired. It was ALL planned by musicians, a trio of smart ladies who play in a band together.

Mark your calendar now for next year's!
