[Harp-L] Spah: A Great Thread

["jon Gindick" <jongindick@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry about my geography, Dave.  Sorry also if I seemed to lay the blame for 
Buckeye's cancellation on Danny G, but please don't ignore my larger point.
I am surprised there has not been any response to my suggestion
about Chris M.

On behalf of the Great State of West Virginia, I am obligated to say that Elkins 
hasn't been located in Virginia since June 20, 1863. 

I have to respectfully disagree about Buckeye not being able to survive Jack 
Ely. Yes, he was the festival and I was there when he was alive. That's 
definitely true. But you didn't see what Danny G poured into it last year, and 
this year as well and the risks he took for the love of the instrument. It has 
nothing to do with nobody being able to step up to the plate, have the drive and 
take the risk. Somebody did and he did a fine job. Gas is $4.50 right now in a 
lot of places. $4.50 gas is $4.50 gas, despite who is running the festival.
