Hi Barra-

Let me see if I can tempt you with some things.

Sat. July 20, Mark Jaster, mime, and I will do a concert at Reynolds
Hall, Shepard College, Shepardstown, WV (it is on your way down, almost). 7:30.
Mark and I have worked up several skits involving harp. We'r
e pretty proud of them. We will also do some solo stuff.

July 26, 7:30, Harp party at Steve Matthews house, to introduce
people to the judges for the VA Scottish Games competition (Darcy Fair and me).
Dessert and a tiny concert by the judges, maybe a tiny lecture by Darcy, and some
jamming. Love to have ya.

July 27-28: No. Virginia Scottish Games, Episcopal High School
grounds, Braddock Road at Quaker Lane, near King. 9-6 both days. Harp comp:
Beginners and novice on Sat., Amateurs and prof on Sun. This is a big event, lots
of harpers come, and we'd love to have you visit, and maybe compete? Maybe tell a
story?
