First, about Piping Through the Camp. Last year on Saturday, Eric dressed in full regalia, Sunday however since he was piping in the rain, just wore casual stuff. But for folks with kids, they shouldn't miss this, he is the most incredible leader, going up stairs, in, through and around interesting obstacles, under low hanging branches and walking along low walls without missing a note. Crazy and fun. The kids like it and sometimes there are a few of us older kids following him too.... But Eric chooses his own playlist. Eric was one of two pipers at the White House St.Patrick's Day festivities this year, which gives you an idea of how good he is.

Second, Pam Swan asked whether people who have CD's can bring them and sell them. She said she'd love to have some CD's by other Mudcatters. You are absolutely welcome to do that, sounds great to me. You can sell them on the honor system, or figure out whatever you like. We'll try to remember to set up a table for it. There will be various music for sale but no one repeat no one available to keep an eye on it most of the time (never needed anyone actually).

By the way, Jed Marum, who has another festival next weekend and couldn't make the Getaway, sent us a batch of copies of his CD to sell -- he's donating *all* the proceeds to the FSGW operating budget and the Getaway scholarship fund. Try to get a chance to hear a cut or two of his CD during the weekend, it's really nice.

If anyone else gets an urge to donate something for the scholarship fund (I think we're going to accept donations for a silent auction, but don't know who's organizing it), all contributions will be gratefully accepted. Bring a white elephant and feel virtuous about getting it out of your house! (and maybe into another Mudcatter's house?)

There may yet be another small change or two to the program. Should know by tomorrow.

If you are reading this and it's getting toward the bottom of the thread list, would you mind posting something to refresh it please.
