Thanks for rekindling the memory, Steve, and for posting the photo, David.   That's me in the middle.  We sure had fun at the Buckeye Fests!  ...and your homemade jerky was the best!

Deer Jerky Gang? Didn't they pitch for the Cardinals in the 1930s? Of course, how could I forget! Here is a picture of us eating deer jerky at Buckeye. Lots of Seydel hats and shirts in the Deer Jerky Gang. That was the inaugural event for the Seydel hats, which are made in Marietta, Ohio.

I hope you get feeling better. I sure do. 
Your posts probably aren't getting through for the same reason my Ipad posts don't go through, they probably get rejected because they are too long. You have to go and cut out the long string of earlier messages that are in the reply.

One of my favorite  harp/not harp  convention moments was at what I believe was the last Buckeye. Remember the deer jerky gang, Dave? Sometimes just hanging out at these conventions does as much for your harp playing as a whole bunch of practice.
I may not make any more conventions because of health issues and other stuff, but the memories from the one I attended are just great.
My very first Buckeye, either 1998 or 1999, I met Rob Papparozzi, Chris Michalek, Jelly Roll Johnson, Joe Filisko, Richard Sleigh, Jimmy Gordon, Doug Tate, Bobbi G., the famous Buzz, and many more. Got to see Annie Raines and heard some great hallway playing.
I am still very much an intermediate player, but I still love it.
I have been posting occasionally with my IPad, but I think maybe those posts have not been going thru.
More harp content:  Trying to figure out the best way to play Ashokan Farewell. Melody Maker? Any input would be appreciated.
