Re: [Harp-L] Where is it?

The SPAH convention has never been held in Long Beach. 

In the late 1980s a few offshoot winter season local events were held under the banner of "SPAH West." But not during the 1990s.

Hey,,don't be feelin' like the Lone Ranger there, Kemo Sabe.

The year I came to harp-l, sometime back in the mid-nineties, the yearly 
SPAH gathering had been held in Long Beach, California, just a few miles 
from where I live, and I found out about it around a month too late.

I just attribute it to bad luck and bad timing. I doubt whether it's going 
to be held again in such proximity to me. There don't seem to be as many 
members out here as back east.

I'll probably never be able to afford to attend SPAH, but I sure do like the 
fact that at least some people get the benefit.

I didn't attend Woodstock either, but it would have meant hitch-hiking a few 
thousand miles, which I actually did, but a few years later.

Now I'm 64. No one's picking up 64 year old hitch-hikers these days,,
