Signed up. This camp is so much fun, so well-organized, and I'm really looking forward to Reischman's classes. Maybe this will lead to a Reischman/Compton recording? Now that would be amazing.

What cafer's will I see there?

Oh, oh, I wish I could go to this, but dang it, it's always scheduled at the beginning of the academic year (when I launch some interns where I work) and around the Jewish holidays.

I wish they would put this in August or October!

I'm signed up for my 2nd go-round. On the timing, I think it's a lot to juggle with finding a place and dates that don't conflict with something. Last year there was an overlap with IBMA and that impacts the faculty (and others) availability. Add NASCAR races before and after those two weeks and it is amazing they thread that needle at all!

I live in Abingdon and I couldn't go last year. Not sure about this year, yet. I have to play it by ear. Which is the only way I know how

They also have day passes, Chris, if you can't make it the whole time. The instructor concert at the Bristol Sessions Museum in Bristol would be worth a day pass in itself. Seriously the best live music show you'd ever want to see. And not a bad seat in the house. (only seats for Monroe Campers) About 1:11:00 or 1:12:00 Mike and Carl Jones play "My Father's Footsteps." Just outstanding.

Let's make sure we pick this year, Keith.
