I was disappointed about the cancellation of the contest of the contest but did enjoy the jam with Comer Mullins, Steve Rector, and Ben Hall as well as the Friday evening concert. Didn't run into Jayto until later on Mudcat. I visited with the Folk Center music director a couple of weeks ago and though he did not have anyone booked at that time he was planning to continue with the contest ub 2009. Of course he will need contestants. That is a good time for pickers to get together and a good time for anyone who enjoys music.
