Thanks Jim for an excellent Harmonica Clinic. The Fellowship and Jamming was simply remarkable. The classes were extremely informational. The setting and Cabins of Heritage Farms was gorgeous. The food and the Ladies whom prepared and served were Absolutely Amazing. Hope you will invite me to the next one!!!

Thank you, KC & Doug, for the kind words
We made the local TV news
We made the newspaper ( http://www.herald-dispatch.com/news/briefs/x1925882828/Heritage-Farm-hosts-second-annual-HarmoniCollege-event )
We made a lot of music
We made a lot of friends
HarmoniCollege2 (2013) was a success. It met the academic and spiritual goals I wanted everyone to experience. It broke even financially, which means it can return. I have received more positive feedback and more enthusiastic complements than the first year, so I take that as a sign we are headed in the right direction. When I think of this weekend, what I remember more than the harmonica playing, is all the happy chatter, laughing, and lingering, all signs of people having a good time.
I'm already making plans for HarmoniCollege 3 (2014), with an extra cabin, more overnight choices, and new lessons. I will keep everyone informed.
