Kat, how on earth did you guess?

Arnie, why I reckin I'd be 'happier than a gopher in soft dirt' to attend this banjo event.
Just wondering.....what aspect of the evening will be in a workshop format?

I'll be in New York at a wedding. From what I've heard about these guys I'll be missing quite a night. If it's any consolation I'll be playing the very little bit of banjo that I know along with my uncles who are fine players. Thank God they tolerate and encourage me.

The banjo Happy Hour will be some time to shmooze with the players and bring your banjo - ask about setup, technique or whatever. It won't be an intensive class like we have had previously. The concert will most likely be like a folk festival workshop format covering different aspects of banjo playing styles. So Bonnie - tell us about the D. Dillar experience.

Arnie, I have lots to tell about my Dwight exerience but right now I am so exhausted I can not think. It was amazing but I feel really, really 'spent' energy wise. Drained in a good way. I'll write something about it after I rest up a bit.
