Thank you, George!
 

Val just called and has already explained that she never received  any 
private emails which ever went unanswered. This has never  been her practice, 
most especially as it relates to the Garden State Festival.  Busy or not, Val 
Redler answers her mail.
 

Since she and Phil have been without power now for FOUR (4) days since the  
NorthEast storm and have been working diligently on finalizing the last 
details  of the Festival by candlelight - charging their cellphones in their 
cars while  running back and forth to the Hotel, she asked me to inform the 
list that there  are still changes being made to the schedule due to the 
illness of a couple of  the participants.
 

Happily, Michael Polesky will be coming in from the West Coast with his  
family and participating in the Jazz happenings. Those of us who know and love 
 Michael have also long since fallen in love with his wife and little girl 
as  well. It'll be a thrill to get to see them in New Jersey. David 
'Jazzmaan'  Fairweather (Michael's great friend) will be coming along as well - so 
it's a  perfect opportunity for him to take over a slot vacated by another 
scheduled  performer's illness: Jazzmaan will give his 'An Introduction to 
Four-Key  Tuning' on Thursday. 
 

Despite the Hotel being full right now with folks staying there to warm up  
while their homes are without power, all's well and under control for the  
Festival. Val & Phil stayed at the Ramada last night, declared the food good 
 and the rooms perfect for our needs. We're ready for another 'all 
harmonica, all  the time' fabulous convention.
 

For those coming in early, remember that Enrico Granafei's Club Trumpets'  
Pre-Festival Harmonica Blow-Off begins at 7:30p.m. Wednesday. Directions to  
Trumpets are in the links contained for the Festival at: 
_www.gardenstateharmonicaclub.org_ (http://www.gardenstateharmonicaclub.org/)  

Close to the top of the page is a link taking you directly INTO Trumpet's  
site and from there a menu with directions from all points.
 

...with all that Enrico and Kristine do to support the Garden State  
Festival, they deserve some support back. If you live in the general area, do  
yourselves a favour and go out to hear some great Live music at Trumpets in  
Montclair, New Jersey. Great atmosphere, congenial hosts, good food with  
wonderful music and performers on a continuing basis.

Val has been really busy. I hope that I am able to help you  out with
