Please note that the festival has been cancelled. The heavy rains a few weeks ago badly damaged the park. It will not be repaired in time for the festival and an alternative location was not found.

I am very sad about this, it's practically the only bowed psaltery friendly event in my area.

I know it's quite far for many, even most of the members but it never hurts to extend the invite. You just never know what circumstances you might find yourself in. Of course, the matter of that "little pond" is quite a problem, but still.

Thanks for the kind words Paul, they are always appreciated. I do sometimes wonder

Donna: thanks ALWAYS for the invitations---ALL OF THEM!!!! However, living down here in southern Mississippi makes it very difficult to travel so far...but IF we can make it, we will certainly try! I sincerely appreciate the fact that you are always promoting the bowed psaltery...  and I assure you, your efforts are GREATLY appreciated!!!!
