I'll be there as usual, with Paddy Graber from Vancouver, B.C. We'll be doing a workshop titled "Irish Slow Airs to Songs," which will explore the origin of slow airs from songs and the use of slow airs as melodies for songs. It's sort of a trial run for a workshop we're planning for Folklife (if they let us do it).

Reggie, I'd enjoy seeing (and hearing) you there. I don't see any problem with your cominging for just a day or or part thereof. But then, I don't make the rules. That's too bad. You should come down to Mary's SunnyCamp next Sept. Fewer rules there.

Cheers, S. in Seattle
