Well, I'm all signed up, got me airline ticket and me rent-a-car. One bummer bit of news from Catspaw above: Mick now lives in New Jersey! Maybe at least I'll have time to drop in at Elderly--although I've already overspent my instrument budget for the next couple of years. And most of the banjos I'd like to play--Chuck Lee's, Mike Ramsey's--are on back order.

Hey, Arnie--it's yours and Chris's presence there that are pulling me across country for the Camp, even though I'm not a beginner. I love your work on both "FIve Strings Attached" albums. And the Bonnie mentioned in Catspaw's entry above has been a student of yours in Toronto.

I got some nice welcomes on this thread and the Spaw origins thread. Great to see so many of you are still plugging away and that I'm still a memory. And Spaw even read the other thread I started to call attention to this one--hey, Pat--but didn't post to it so it's about to drop off the list.
