The event was great for me also. I really enjoyed all the time I got to spend with the teachers and students. Buzz is right when he says that the talent there was nothing less than highly impressive. Buzz had 'em all going with Hoochie Coochie man on the last day during the instructors jam. As I always do I have met some really great people and many of them will be friends for life. Thanks to Jason, the band, the teachers, the students and of course Brady for all the hard work. You guys all did a killer job. Thanks!

>Hey, List:
I just wanted to tell everyone what a wonderful time I had at Rockers
in the Rockies. Despite some really bad asthma problems at the high altitude, it was a blast. I would go back today. Jason was terrific. Very caring and really nurturing. In fact, all the teachers were. I knew these guys were amazing musicians but was pleased to find them all
such fine teachers. We learned about space, dynamics, overblows, overdraws, tone, positions, repairs and customization, pretty much whatever we wanted. Jason was everywhere - teaching, playing, and helping everyone, as were all the other teachers. I even learned
better ways to study (thank you George, my piano is on the way). It was a
very 'giving' crew. I've been to many other harmonica events but the talent
of this group of attendees was mind-boggling! The jam sessions were incredible. My sessions, acoustic, turned out to be some of the most fun I've had. The jam sessions with Jason's band, New Blood, were so good, there should have been a CD made! Everyone played their ass off.
Speaking of fun, I was talking to Madcat Sunday night and he said that this was the most fun he'd ever had at one of these functions. I
agreed with him wholeheartedly. Of course, just being with Madcat is a hell
of a lot of fun in itself! By the way, I know I've met some people at
this event that are going to be my friends for life.
My thanks to everyone involved, especially Jason and Brady, for one of the greatest weekends ever! I'm really looking forward to the next one
and seeing all my close, personal friends again.
Love ya' all!
