I had a great time, although I'm a little under the weather this year eith my MS. My hands not too affected except for the numbness on the skin. Didn't make hardly any of regular classes (2 out of how ever many there were), but I did make Larry Miller's mini classes, which were much more beneficial. He remelted the wax on my accordions, fixed some stripped wood and adjusted my thumb straps. Larry is a great man.

I was, however the last person jamming Cajun almost every night (except for the last night).

I met lots of great new people, (including Leslie and Bob from the board!) and saw some old friends. My dad had a great time too, and that was the most important thing to me.

I got to all the dances, but don't dance so I spent more time on the Hallihurst porch in the evening, jamming until some people came back.

This year was fun, but not like other years. I really missed the whole Pine Leaf crew and Mitch Reed and Gary and Goldman and others whom I spent alot of time with three years in a row. I didn't make it last year, so I can't compare it to that.

Anyway, it was fun. I think next year I'll be taking a trip down to Louisiana, possibly for Mardi Gras in Eunice/Lafayette

Cheers

Jim
