How the heck are you, Dave? Great to hear from you. I'm still going to Kamp every year. Skip missed Kamp last year for the first time. We're still picking and singing together. …"

- Tell us more about yourself (place a Bio here if you wish)
- I learned three chords on a friend's Stratocaster when I was a freshman in college (about 40 years ago). I played acoustic six-string for about 25 years, then attended a Steve Kaufman workshop. Strangely enough, even after that workshop, I still thought I knew how to play. Just slow to get the message, I guess.
Steve told me about a flatpicking "camp" that he was starting at Maryville College, so I attended that very first year. I realized in pretty short order that I did NOT know how to play the guitar. So I've been back every year trying to figure it out. So far, no success, but I have so much fun I keep returning year after year. Any year now, I expect to find self actualization as a player.

Hazel Johnson said… - Hi Mikey,
I wish I could come and see you all, it's been so long! Unfortunately with the price of gas, and no one to see to all the animals, I am afraid it is a no. I am still picking, and in fact have a jam session here every Sunday afternoon, so I am still learning new tunes etc.
Please remember me to every one at Kamp, and have a great time!
Best Wishes,
Hazel.

- To be honest, I don't know Marguerite personally. But she is in awe of me and that counts for a great deal. So, I'm gonna say I like her a lot and think she's really got it together.
