This will be my 5th, and maybe final year. There will be 5 or more of us from The Harmonica Club here in Huntington, WV. Annie Raines will be the new teacher this year. Returning teachers are Joe Filisko, Grant Dermody, and Phil Wiggins. I always come back feeling inspired, but at the same time humbled. I always see and hear how much farther I still have to go with my playing.
Anyone else going??

I have been awarded a scholarship again from the blues foundation to attend, so I will be there. It is always a truly amazing week of music for me and my girlfriend.
In fact, if not for blues week I would not have met my girlfriend.

I still say that this is the best investment dollar to resulting experience of any of the gatherings.
Not only will you immerse yourself in harmonica for a week, but you will be surrounded by so many other forms of music and culture that the spillover effect is magic.
