We're going to take a little break from winter this year and take in the 10th Virginia Harmonicafest.
Williamsburg is an absolutely wonderful place to enjoy Spring weather in early March.
It's just a few weeks away, March 12th and 13th.
I got an email from Tom McCraig saying the Early Bird ticket price of $40 has been extended till the end of January.
The hotel rate is only $75/day which makes this festival a real bargain.

We can't make it before Friday morning but Tom said there is a night club in Williamsburg that does jazz and has open mic on Thursday nights.
PT, Chris Bauer, and anybody else that likes are going to go out to the club.

Hope to see you there

I'll be down there Thursday for the jam session!  Can't wait for that!  Mike Durig is a gas to play with on guitar.

Hmmm, George...unfortunately Viking music is written on stone tablets . I have a version of "Re-Leif Me"
(Later re-made by Tom Jones). It weighs about 48 Lbs., but hey maybe we can 'do' some more 'modern' stuff,eh? Man I would love that!
I still 'shiver' when I realize I played with the Great George Miklas ( hey, that's you!) and the other great Wally Peterman. Hi-Lites man, Hi-Lites! Grin
