Monroe Camp has been a highlight for my year. I, and my Dad, had a great time. Just echoing John's thoughts, it was goodness through and through. Getting to jam late into the night with a bunch of new friends is always fun. This was my first year there, but it certainly won't be my last. A big thank you to Tater and all of the staff and teachers. I know its a lot of work putting these things on as we enter year 5 of our own Texas Style Fiddle Camp, so I am particularly appreciative of the effort and success of Mando camp.
Oh, and if anyone has a recording (video or audio) of Skip's Sally Goodin'/Dusty Miller run through at the end of class, would you please share? I didn't take any recording devices with me and should be ashamed. As to Terry pickin' fast, I turned the web metronome up to Terry speed for Katy Hill and it just sounded like a test of the emergency broadcast system.
