And if, like me, you have to (gasp) miss that one, here's another chance to get your toes tapping without driving halfway across the country: the Kenosee Lake Kitchen Party! Concerts every evening for a week! Michele Amy is organizing a camp for students of guitar, fiddle and piano, and while we've got all those fine instructors here - of course they'll play for us. For everyone! I've copied her announcement below. The location (Kenosee Boys' and Girls' camp) is out at the west end of the lake (with the Mother Theresa Centre); follow the main road west and then turn south where it says "Group Camps" or something like that. Then watch for the camp sign.
As a student, I'll be in the final show (gulp) so come clap along for me! I dare ya to try to make me laugh . . .Just some information about a concert series in the Park that you might be interested in. We'd love for you to come and join us, and to help us spread the word.The Kenosee Lake Kitchen Party is presenting a concert series featuring renowned musicians between August 14 - 18, 2006 at the Kenosee Boys' and Girls' camp at 7pm.Cost is $5 for non-camp participants, and spectators should bring a lawnchair.Children under 12 are free.Concerts will be followed by a jam session, and spectators are welcome to bring instruments and join in as they pleaseThe concert lineup is as follows:Monday, August 14 at 7pm: J.J.

Sorry to hear you won't make it to the Forget festival. I'll be coming out to party and volunteer during the festival. I'll try not to Forget you...hah...hah...boy that was almost a Garth joke.
Hey Hal! Thanks for stopping by. Are you back in the land of far horizons? I'm heading for the Great Sandhills for 10 days (leaving this weekend) - now that's a wide and lonely land. Beautiful, but it always leaves me feeling like I'd better be moving on - there won't be mercy for anyone who lingers after their supplies run out. Anyway, I'll be thinking of Shannon and Don and everyone at the festival. Garth will be there with his jokes, so don't let him kill you. That was crazy at Spring for Ananda - he wasn't really making me cry, it's just that my eyes started burning for no known reason. Dry eyes, dry coughs - they only happen when I'm driving or in church. Maybe I should give those up.
Just checking in to say hi and have fun.
