[Harp-L] 2011 SPAH Convention Seminars



For those of you who still haveÂnot made your decision to attend the 2011 SPAH Convention in Virginia, there is still time to do so. Here's a daily list of the seminars which will take place. Because I am releasing this so early, you'll understand why I have to add the usual "Seminars are Subject to Change" clause. It has however, been my own experience, that SPAH always provides more rather than less. Then there are also the concerts, the jams, the harmonica players and the harmonicas. Only at SPAH.
