Re: [Harp-L] SPAH Convention Registrations - C'mon Westerners!

Well, that does it.  Since Dave of the Fertig variety signed up, so  
did I! I already belong to the Society for the Preservation and  
Advancement of the Blue-Footed Boobie.  Since harmonicists are every  
bit as endangered, they need our support.

The only experience I’ve had that might compare somewhat with this  
SPAH event was the last Rocky Mountain Harmonica Festival in Denver.   
Gaggles of harmonica players in the lobby, at the restaurants, in the  
elevators, and even in the restrooms.  The hotel hosted a religious  
convention at the same time.  I’m sure those religious folks thought  
God was warning them what Hell will be like if they misbehave.
