I use "home" loosely, having lived six places in the past 13 months- anyway- I've returned from the amazingly well-kept secret of the Steve Kaufman acoustic camp in Maryville, TN. I spent the week taking classes, sharing meals, picking and hanging out with some amazing flatpickers and teachers- the likes of Rolly Brown, Mark Cosgrove, Steve Kaufman, the unbelievably smooth Scott Nygaard, Jeff Jenkins, Mike Maddux, and the illustrious Dan Crary. What a time.
Reality strikes again as that blissful experience has drawn to a close and there is again money to be made, floors to be swept, dishes to be washed, meals to be cooked, etc. I have much more impetus to get a lot more flatpicking in my life now and seek out all the good acoustic music that I know is in this area. Just have to find it.
Looking forward to my coffeehouse show this Sunday (Cafe Roche on Hawthorne in Winston-Salem, 12-3).
