I will be there and I know others. Sometimes people can get in at the last minute..I am not sure though. Outside Carnation WA USA not far from Seattle.

I do want to collect canning/fish processing songs and will have my little digital recorder so please tell me if you have any. Likewise any potato famine songs.

I am also putting on a workshop on songs of liberty/freedom. If people know of any, especially in Hebrew or Spanish, feel free to come and sing them. Also need someone who can sing the Marselleise in Francois. You don't want to hear me try.

Also, we do try to have sessions at night sans book (bring your own for your own use if you want). I am not putting this on so I can't say what people can and can't do, but if you see a bunch of people singing late at night (I am only referring to late night stuff, not daytime stuff or official song circles in agenda) it would be good to assume that they are not using books because they are the sorts that really are not fond of the book experience. It is not because there is a book shortage. There are other groups who do like the book experience. I am hoping we can do what they did in B.C. which is just announce ahead of time which room prefers what and people follow suit.   THis is not a minor issue; it is the reason I and I know others come to camps so we can go at full throttle, with all participating as singers in choruses, perhaps humming if they don't know the words etc. Not exclusive but a preferred style by many. mg
