Proud of a 2009 Kamper

This just in from our friend Bob Fisher in NM:
>Yesterday (November 14) 14-year old Tristan Scroggins (from Corrales, NM) won the adult Arizona State Mandolin Championship held in Wickenberg, Arizona! Tristan beat out Brian Roe, who had taken third in the 2007 Nationals and who had taken second in the 2006 Nationals.
Way to go, Tristan!<

Thanks for the update Bob.
Any of you Kampers with info about you or your fellow Kampers - be sure to share.
See you all in June!

New York Times Article - Pete Seeger's 90th birthday party

The link below is an article about a concert for Pete Seeger's 90th birthday party. This would have been a great concert to go to!
There is also a great DVD on Seeger that came out in 08, I believe that I saw through netflicks. Wonderful documentary.

Life is so precious

This morning, with the news of John Studdard's passing, I am listening to the tune Tim O'Brien wrote about the untimely passing of his older brother, "Time To Learn". I've posted it on my page, to share the sentiments that so many of us feel at this time. Please listen, but don't download. Of course, it is available for purchase (it's from his "Oh Boy!" album with Scott Nygaard and Mark Schatz).
