I am planning on attending if finances permit. Though I
have a small HG, I am primarily a Mt Dulcimer and Mando
family player. I guess you could put together an off list
group message, since I am not aware of all the folks going
to the Folk College thing in May.
In Harmony,
Alf

Any more takers for this? I think four of us will be there, and the

World... mwahahahaaaa!). You are welcome to contact me off-group, if
you prefer.

To: hurdygurdy
I'm posting this to the list for the benefit of all us us poor
benighted souls east of the Rockies who have no access to all those
wonderful happenings on the West Coast (Thank you. Mitch). I'm going
to be there with my hurdy gurdy (of course) and I'm
encouraging/cajoling/badgering a couple of other players to join me
there (Brian, Lucas, you know who you are... ) This could be a great
opportunity for us East Coasters to get together and show the world
what REAL music is like!
In case you need any further encouragement, Tuvan throat singers are
going to be there - take a look on YouTube for Alash ensemble and
imagine a backup chorus of hurdy gurdies - gives me goosebumps!

Folk College is a fun and friendly weekend of playing and listening to
folk music - a fantastic three days of workshops, concerts, jams,
dancing and friendship. Activities are held at Juniata College, a
beautiful setting in Huntingdon PA, nestled in the picturesque
Allegheny Mountains. Within one weekend, you'll have a choice of
workshops ranging from old-time to blues to international, and you'll
get to sing, dance, play, and listen. All instruments are welcome, and
there are workshops for every level from total beginner through
professional.
Don't play an instrument but always wished you did? This weekend is
for you too! We'll have a beginners' intensive where instruments are
provided and you'll get a taste of playing instruments like dulcimer,
fiddle, guitar, mandolin, bass, and more.
FEATURED STAFF:
* Bruce Molsky - old time fiddle and banjo don't get any better than
this
* Alash Ensemble - Tuvan throat singing
* Sparky& Rhonda Rucker - songs, stories, and the blues
* Stray Birds - hot bluegrass and old time, great harmonies
* Matt& Shannon Heaton - Celtic instrumentals, gorgeous voices
* Simple Gifts - 3 women, 12 instruments, your musical hosts
FIDDLE INTENSIVE WITH BRUCE MOLSKY:
We'll offer a fiddle intensive with Bruce Molsky 10am on May 27,
before the other workshops get started.
We're VERY excited about the lineup of staff and the plans for the
weekend and hope you'll be able to join us! Registration forms are
