- I'm going back to one of my favorite places in Pennsylvania - Beaver Springs. For the past few years, I've made an annual trek to visit my friend Clair Ebenshade, and I've met a lot of other wonderful people there as well. Manbeck Mennonite Church hosts the event and even allows me to preach God's word on Sunday morning. I hope you'll be able to join us. More info coming soon!

- I've heard about this festival from fellow players who have had the opportunity to teach there, and all the reports have been glowing. I've also know Scott and Irma Reeder (Irma is the President/Festival Director this year) for years through e-mail correspondence, and am so glad for the opportunity to actually spend time with them at the festival this year.

- One of the best large festivals in the country is set in the mountains of North Georgia at Unicoi State Park the weekend before Thanksgiving. You don't want to miss this one if you enjoy great jams, good workshops, a lot of good fellowship, good concerts, etc. I'll be teaching, performing, and leading the Sunday morning celebration time this year.
