Re: [Harp-L] Buckeye Harmonica Festival & Charlie McCoy's induction ceremony

[Rupert Oysler <orupert@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes PT, I will definitely be at Buckeye with Seydel, and I heartily 
second your motion to all to attend. Jimi Lee will also be there, and 
Dave Gastel from the Columbus area will be coordinating diatonic 
activities, so there will be lots of great learning and playing.

We should have our new Saxony Chromatic with stainless steel reeds 
there, as well as most keys of the new Silver +, and the new Groove mic, 
plus maybe even some new cases.

I am really grateful for all the support and attention that Buckeye has 
created for the harmonica over the past 33 years, and personally to Jack 
Ely, and am looking forward being there.

Hope to see you all!

ps PT, congratulations on the tremendous honor of playing for the 
Charlie McCoy induction....wow!
