[Harp-L] Need advice on youth/adult harmonica workshop/club

[Chris Talbot]

I appreciate the thoughts, Phyllis. Thank you.

I'm pretty sure I can get some space from either our local rec centre or
library without incurring any expenses. It's not for sure yet, of course,
but I've at least approached the recreation programming director about the
idea.

It sounds like you have the kind of group I'd like to form. There are
enough musicians around town that it could work. :)

Thanks again.

Chris
