Exits 18-21? I'm in Rockland county by the Tappanzee Br.
I'd be up for it. Were you at the cafe mando gathering last year at the park near troy? about 15 or so of us got together. -Tom

I'm in the mid Hudson Valley further down as well.(Putnam county)Would be interested in getting together with any local mandolin cafe folk to play. The past few months have been attending a monthly Irish session down here, and its been a great experience!

Hi Richard and Tom;
Thanks for your response. No, I knew nothing about the gathering last year but I would love to know if it will happen again.
Maybe we could plan a meeting.I live near Woodstock. I'm fairly flexible regarding schedule. I'm not what you would call an "accomplished" player but I can hold my own in melody and accompaniment and I have a good sense of rhythm and I do love the music.
THanks
John

Hi,

Will your folks be going to the Irish Week at East Durham?

Is that a good time?

I've been told it's tough to find lodging in the area for the Week unless you book a year in advance... Is that right?

I'd like to go... thinking about it...

Thanks,

I may be vacationing in the Woodstock area for a week or so in August, and if so, may be up for a session...

meanwhile, let me ask... is the Irish week you're talking about in that area? If so, when is it, and can you send me a link to more info?

I can meet anytime except 30th-8th due to symposium madness. John,
it sounds like we'd be compatable.
