Not only did I get my new computer set up today [mostly], but I got my Swannanoa newsletter as well. OT week is July 20-26. Bryan Bowers IS teaching autoharp. Ralph Blizard has had some heart problems, but should be back on staff next summer. Read the website at my first clicky!

The experience is great! The "instructors" are so accessible, and the jammin' is fine. The fees are for the entire week, so you'd want to be there. The Gathering is on the campus at Warren Wilson College, and you stay in the dorms, eat in the cafeteria-- conducive to more jammin'. But not to sleepin'! There are special events/concerts every night- the scenery is gorgeous...

Sheila Kay, and Mike Seeger will be back, along with most of the regulars I mentioned earlier.

Just thinkin' about it makes me wanna' be there...
