A Midwest Folk Retreat?

Hello Patrick and Dear Old Dad.
I had mentioned in a previous email about possibly trying to host a Midwest Folk Musician’s Retreat modeled after yours. While I am trying to find a place to have such a thing, I realize that it may be helpful to have an idea of how many people would be interested. I was looking at probably trying around September/October 2010 time frame. I have one place in mind that may work, but they charge based on the number of people per night. I would not be able to host for free, but would keep things as cheap as I could. Anyway, I was just wondering if you could give it a mention and leave a link on your site so that people could contact me if they may be interested so I can have an idea if the current place I have in mind may be sufficient. Here’s the link: http://melodicmetanoia.wordpress.com/contact-me/.

Aussie Frailer Update
October 27, 2009
Cedric sent us an update on his efforts to connect with other Australian banjo players:
Dear Patrick and Pat
Thanks very much for your help in getting together our list of Aussie Frailers.
So far, we number 14. That is one Aussie Frailer per 212,470.07 square miles.
When we do the complicated mathematics to break this down by gender, we find that we have been joined by exactly 0.00 (that’s zilch/nix/zero/none/nil) Aussie Female Frailers per 212,470.07 square miles.
Despite all of the nasty slurs about Aussie males being gender bigots, we really would like to welcome our Aussie female fellow frailers into the group.
We have all exchanged e-mail addresses, and have already thrown in ideas and distributed some tabs of Aussie traditional and convict songs and sea shanties.
Any further help that you could give us to bolster our figures, would be most appreciated.
We are all trusting that Patrick’s MRI, and treatment of his knee, go well.
With thanks and regards
Cedric Down Under
