Firs off, I have not been there, but friends of mine have and they report that the gourmet meals are the real thing. A wonderful, creative cook is Mrs. Kaukonen. As to the music, Jorma is the real thing as well. You can learn what you're capable of learning and what you want to learn, from a decent, all round nice fella as an instructor. Nice setting, cabins, folks gathered round to pick a little, not a bad week, I'm told.
