Re: [Harp-L] Powerbender and SPAH

I didn't get sick after SPAH, though I got hit with a migraine on Friday... .But when you think about it, you're putting several hundred people together from all over the country and sometimes other parts of the world....    and then there's the lack of sleep....
  It did take me a couple of days of unscheduled naps in the recliner before I felt rested afterward.
  I just hope I can make the next one.  I didin't participate in as many seminars this time as in the past, and I should have.   
I did get re-interested in country tuning and have been messing with it since. I've had country tuned harps for awhile, but never really spent much time with them. After listening to Berl Welch play Wonderful World and You Don't Know Me.... I'm going to head in that direction for awhile, since I again proved to myself at SPAH that I'm not a blues player.
Steve Webb in Minnesota... where the wind is blowing and the temperature is 30 degrees lower than  yesterday.
