My list contains a forbidden html tag so I can't post it. What the hey is that, Max?

Post your email address and I'll add you to the list. There is one lady from Pensacola on the list but I don't think I know her. I know the rest of them, though.

I see my good friend Charley Groth is mentioned in this thread. He runs Sunshine State Music Camp in the fall, which a lot of autoharpers attend. They also gather at all the major Florida Festivals. He'll hook you up.

Which west Florida are we talkin' here? The western part of the peninsula, as in Tampa, or the real west Florida, as in Pensacola?
