<p>Thanks for the invitation Tim. Firstly, I am in Australia and secondly have just arrived home this week after being away for three months. By the time I heard about this event it was already over! Glad to be invited though and I trust that it was a great event. Every good wish, Norm.</p>

<p>This music has so many dimensions and possibilities of presentation. Mixed instruments, tune choices, playing the "fancy" banjo songs, involving nice part singing, utilizing creative rhythms and instruments (which the music BEGS for), different styles....the polkas, schottisches, waltzes etc. inaddition to the usual plunky Briggs' style tunes.</p>

<p>Yes, It was well worth cancelling out another event I had planned on attending. I told the wife to plan on going to Caro on Oct 20, we'll drag the trailer up there and camp somewhere if we have to. I'm fired up!</p>
