Hi Guys,

Sorry, you all posted during the eight days or so I was out of town and I didn't go back far enough to check on the thread. Was actually looking for it to get the Locator thingy kat/katlaughing mentioned.

I am about 20 minutes west of Athens on SR 356 (we live in the country!).

I'm willing to travel to play music with others. Also I have a friend in the Athens area who I've been trying to reconnect with who played in a band with me in the mid 80's. He's somewhat sedentary but usually happy to host jams; don't know if he's willing to travel but that wouldn't stop me.

stats on me: hippie chick who has been singing since I can remember. born 5/30/1954, Gettysburg PA. Raised all over, living in these hills since I was 12, and listening to/playing Applachian music into and through college, along with the Celtic stuff. Also interested in other ethnic music (my dad growing up in a Danish community in NW PA played Danish music on fiddle, my mom's dad played fiddle in a Hungarian gypsy orchestra in Pittsburgh). Also see beginning of this thread...

By the way, do you guys know about FOOTMAD (Friends of Old-time Music and Dance) based in Charleston? Their weekend campout/festival is coming up in late September (23rd?). Bout an hour and a bit south of Athens. The best kept secret in folk music. A really good time, and a real good mix of old-time with some blues and Celtic thrown in. Concerts, workshops and dancing as well as spontaneous jams. And great people!

I look forward to getting a session going...
