Save the date: Thursday, June 23, 2016.

Sara Brown of the North Mississippi Hill Country Picnic has asked me to organize a repeat of last year's one day harmonica teaching event in Holly Springs, Mississippi. It was a fun and informative time, last time around.

We've got three of four teachers locked in place:

Jason Ricci
Watermelon Slim
Adam Gussow

I'm waiting on word from a fourth offer that I've extended.

More details as I have them. But this is 100% happening. The cost for the day, like last year, will be $100 + a small ($3.50??) service fee.

fwiw I attended last years "Holly Springs harp thing" ..
It was a very good experience and I'd recommend it ,
The Hill Country Picnic was also pretty good and , since you'd be in the immediate area anyways , may as well check it out too !

For those that may not be familiar with Watermelon Slim … he is a very very good entertainer , player , singer , writer .. and one of the few, imo, white, real deal 'bluesman' .

Excited about this. Just wrote it in on the family calendar.

Thursday is an interesting choice?
