I couldn't get Anna up for open mike, but I did watch her play and sing "I Wonder Where You Are Tonight" in the band scramble contest. She's improved a lot since you last saw her. Plus, and more importantly, she's a bunch of fun. I played with Ted a couple times--he's sounding really good on that guitar, taking breaks like a pro. I had practiced "Beaumont Rag" but hadn't played it with anybody. Same thing for Ted. Got to play it with him right after dinner one evening, and it actually worked out. I like his voice, I like his breaks, and I like his rhythm. I'm gonna make a point to play with him more next year, if he'll have me.
I didn't meet another Newfoundlander. I was on the lookout for her tho. Did she come week 2?
Played with Jay more this year. Talk about a guitar player. He's already amazing and running fast toward awesome. If I practice hard, maybe I can keep up with him for one more Kamp. Talked more with Debbie, his mom, and played with her some. She's doing very well on the mando. Not hard to tell why Jay is such a nice young man.
Got to take "master classes" with both Don Stiernberg and John Reischman. Learned a lot in both from comments to all the players. I especially enjoyed Mr. Reischman's "latin rhythms" class in the mando scramble. I'm playing the pieces he gave us every day. Don turned us on to using the key's harmonized scale for improvising. That's gonna take a little longer to get, but I can already see/hear the possibilities.
Hope the problems with your rental unit are well in hand. Make sure your schedule stays clear for next year!

You missed a really good time, Wanda. I'm sorry you didn't get to come.
Sorry to hear that you were unable to make it to camp - I was talking to Steve on Sunday and he said you had to cancel. I was looking forward to meeting you, however, there's always next year. And of course, we are not that far apart geographically speaking.. I hung around the Knoxville area for an extra week and we went back to camp on Thursday night for the concert. It was great to see how the other week lives. I was talking to Ted for awhile, both at camp and in Halifax airport. He seems to have enjoyed himself as well. We did talk about carrying the guitars on in soft sided gig bags - I did not know that they would allow us to do that. Next year, I will be taking mine on board - no more baggage compartments for my baby.
Take care - drop me a line when you get a chance.
All the best!
The other Wanda.
I just saw the part about expecting an email from us. I didn't touch a computer all week. I played with some MandoCafe folks at the open mike. I got to play a couple nights with Jay the guitar player. He has really improved, and he was already awesome. I also got to play with his mom, who deserves to have such a grea kid.
I didn't hear back from yu...so it isn't possible for yu to pick up a small kettle for me...and i will pay yu????????
