I missed the Woods again this year. I know I made the right decision, because although I've come roaring back after last September's body-part replacement, I don't yet have the stamina to go to slide guitar classes at 9 am and jams that last till 3am for five nights straight. So I missed Raymond McLain's enthralling bluegrass workshops, and I missed Michael Jerome Brown's sensational blues-guitar classes, and I missed hearing Mike Stevens blow a dazzling harp break on one of my new songs - and the worst part is? - for the next year I'll be listening to tired-but-happy campers raving to me about what I missed!!! But seriously folks, I'm glad you had so much fun. There's just no substitute for that total immersion experience.
