Thanks for adding this event to the site, Donna.  I will be adding a little more info to my web site and also on here in the very near future.  Nov. seems like a long time off, but it will be here before we know it.  Hope the folks interested can make it.  We had a great time last year and hope for this one to be even better.  The pavilion at Cove Lake State Park is a great building and very well suited for this type of gathering.

November is a long way off, but I sure do hope I can make it. I met Rick several years ago at the bp festival in Alabama and really enjoyed talking/playing with him. I have one of his instruments and it's a real jewel.

It will be good to see you and everyone again at Cove Lake.  Once in a while, my husband will pick up a psaltery and play around a bit, but then put it back down.  I think he's afraid to get "caught" playing! LOL!  I would love for him to play along.  My son John only gets to visit now and then-we play when we can, but it sure would be nice to have a resident psaltery player to play along with-maybe someday he'll catch the psaltery "bug"!!

Getting  your husband to join in would be fantastic!  I hope to see you there, Nov will be here way too quickly....

Hi Donna-My son John has been bringing me to Rick's event.  He's getting married in August, but still hopes to put time aside to attend.  Even if he doesn't, my hubby has promised to take me, so I should be all set to attend! Maybe we can even get him to play along with us if he brings me!
