A large wedding party had booked rooms there as "place-holders", but not the actual wedding event. We were told months ago to expect that they may possibly cancel their block and rooms would be available, but not at the special rate. All Covid protocol requirements for TN State Parks will ...

Apparently the majority of folks have already made other plans for transportation. Only 8 indicated they would be interested so far.

We're looking at possible alternatives, maybe renting a 15-passenger van and driving it ourselves. We'll post any details about that as they happen. Thanks!

I continually practice playing any new idea or problematic issue until I can sit back down to the guitar day after day and never mess it up. That is my personal marker for knowing it's in my muscle memory. I can watch TV and play it without thinking. Until muscle memory is achieved, assuming “som...

Hi Don- Paul is tied up in rehearsals at the moment. He asked that we reply and share some of his thoughts with you regarding your questions. There really has not been anything in the past that compares one-to-one to this Camp. The amount of access to a dozen legendary teachers/presenters has never ...
