 OK, basically things start up in the morning on Thurs. Sometime in the 
am, the Joe Filisko teaching extravigasnza begins. While that is 
happening, there is open mike and other seminars/talks/discussion 
groups on diversified subjects. After the evening meal, the evening 
show begins. The first evening show players are (generally) selected 
from the better (or more interesting?) open mike players. Thu nite 
usually finds the blues players jamming somewhere.

 Friday is more of the same, with a continuation of Joe and his bunch 
of guys teaching people looking for specific improvement areas. 
Afternoon is more open mike while a couple conference rooms have a talk 
of some sort going on. The Fri evening show is a mixture of players, 
some of which have been scheduled ahead of time, some not.

 After the Fri nite show there are 2 jams. Blues & Jazz. Blues is 
usually hosted by Buzz or Joe (or both). Jazz host is whom ever shows 
up that they can snag.

Sat has a matinee in the afternoon. Generally, older people arrive by 
bus. The evening show is the dinner show, has all the BIG guns. 
Sometimes, someone who isn't scheduled will show up and they are shoe 
horned into the show. The last performer will usually be the 'Name' 
act. Sometimes, the blues group also plays on into Sun am.
