Looks like great fun...and not a beer in sight? I can't imagine a jam session without a few bevvies going down.
Maybe that is why everyone held it together so well

Another video just posted. Here's me backing Karen Comb's. She performs as 5$Red. This is her version of "Come into My Kitchen" This was late in the Saturday night jam.
@Indigo. By this time, a few beers had gone down.

Harmonicollege is a great event. My only complaint is the weather. Its a beautiful setting and Jim does a fantastic job being organized. For example, when I arrived I wanted to know where my room was. So I went looking for Rumbaugh, and I found the name tags hanging on a coat tree. I found my name tag, and with it was a map to my room! Besides leading jams and organizing things, Jim also helps with the cooking.

Another wonderful weekend workshop with top tier teachers!
Jim Rumbaugh leads the Harmonica Club of Huntington West Virgina as it continues to offer great workshops with skilled instructors, congenial camaraderie, and good food in a beautiful setting. This annual event is the bargain of the harmonica workshop world.
I had a great time!

Once again the West Virginia Harmonica Club, out did themselves, with this years event. Jim and Donna Rumbaugh are the ultimate host! The accommodations of an 1800s working village, in a mountainous setting with log cabins were amazing!The spread of food was incredible. The site, lodging, and weekend's endless buffet was worth more than the price of admission. Then you get a weekend of jamming with some of the most hospitable people you could ever meet. And yes there were beverages of choice, but yet; a givin the devil the bluz, prison pastor like myself, felt an awe of love and respect from everyone!!! How noticeable is the fact that through this event, those who continue to come back, see such great improvement in their playing. I'm just amazed at the ability of all who jam each night. Then; on top of that you've got about 30 harmonica players and a dozen guitar players, not only treating each other with respect, but also giving everything away to help each other improve. Joe Filisko and Eric Noden continues the top notch playing and teaching that has become expected by every pro Jim brings in. And I'm sure next year will be no different. And to top everything; you are missin out if you don't come and Jam with $5 Red (Ms. Karen Combs) on guitar and Ms. Barbara James bangin on the Keys!!! Count me in for next year Jim! The only thing I would hope for different is that you add an extra day!!!!! Harmonically Yours! K.C.
(And Don't Forget to Always Give The devil The Bluz!!!)
