[Harp-L] SPAH conventions

>  Both Garden State AND SPAH seem to have no trouble 'adding membership and attendance' especially since both added Jazz to their programs and have young people attending more than ever before. It wasn't any accident that jazz played an important role at Sacramento and Garden state. Personally, it was many years ago that I almost quit going to fests because I was getting tired of the same old stuff.
