See people are lining up as I type."

just to plant a seed for thought:
if people are actually interested in a get-together, I could reserve a cabin on/near the blue ridge parkway and announce the date. Anybody who wants to show up with an instrument (or without one, for that matter) would be welcome.
I don't know how many people are following this thread, but if there's real interest it would deserve a separate thread with an attention-getting title.
Holidays are for family, so it would probably be at some obscure time of year, announced well in advance so people could make plans.
NC isn't particularly sunny this time of year, but we could opt for a beach house in summer or a mountain cabin in the fall.
responses to this idea will tend to encourage its progress. No response will pretty much ensure that it falls through the cracks.
Your thoughts? Anybody think they would attend such a gathering?

As long as I could handle it financially I would definitely try to make it. I'd love to put faces to names and fingers to instruments.

Silvertones, The Biltmore is like right in your back yard, isn't it? I walked around that place for 3 hours just admiring all the carpentry and the attention to detail the whole place has. Really a class act from head to toe.

A half-hour from my house is the massive Vanderbilt Estate on the Hudson River. Then you learn that this was their summer cabin.

My wife and I drove around and about the Blue Ridge Parkway this fall. I was appalled at the Appalachian Music 'thing'. Seems like some cookie cutter building meant as a federal museum where you pay x and get so many square feet of steel and concrete instead of authentic buildings, or replicas. I wished they put up an old pole barn with crooked steps and a wheel chair ramp of hickory. For the number of people running about you'd think there'd be more commerce.
Asking about getting a hotel room somewhere the woman told us there were so many "leaf peepers" this year that the spots were hard to get. Add in a rascally dog/puppy who's crazy and you'd understand the problems.
We went south at the end of Lake Ontario, NY, Syracuse, Carlisle PA, Scranton PA (Steamtown), Richmond VA, The Outer Banks, Hickory, Boone (aka Daniel), then shot back north as I was getting too tired.
I've always hated travelling by agenda, unless one gets on a plane, and then it's sort of a good thing.
But that said, we did walk into the Edinburgh airport a few years back and as for tickets, over the channel. We did get the are you nuts looks, but we found a flight to Amsterdam and then there we were. Train pass for all of Europe, they don't tell you only so may tickets are given out on those passes, and NO you cannot take the express train to Nice from Paris. But you can take slower regional trains. More fun anyway.
We were on that Blue Ridge Parkway just 10 days or so before the 'hurricane', well the outer banks too for that matter, and the weather was balmy.
I do need warmth, but the new thyroid meds leave me hot and cold and cold and cold.
Off to walk the dog in the conservation area, sit on a log, smoke a pipe, and make a fire to ensure I stay warm. Sorry if yer mad I didn't visit, but we might have ended up in downtown NY and I'd have to call and cancel. The wind blows me about...I like it that way.
