WOW! Yes I am Anita's friend; saw her last at Clifftop two summers (sigh) ago; last year I was there but she wasn't. Secondhand reports are she enjoys living in VA
Bonnie, I hope you make time for Clifftop. If you do, plan on not sleeping for a while. There are musicians of all levels of skill and LOTS of different kinds of banjo playing; even differing ways of playing clawhammer.
Maybe the best way to meet Arnie, Bonnie and Rick is for me to take a long weekend and come up to Toronto. With planning, it COULD be done.
sure wish I dared take out a Mudcat membership at work but the thought police are looking for overt acts. . . lutrine@hotmail.com will reach me by PM
