Re: [Harp-L] Re: SPAH convention



I haven't been to a Jam Camp. They sound fun and I'm sure they are. I have been to a couple of SPAHs and I find them somewhat overwhelming but not because of the size. It's about the focus. It's too harmonica centric for me. I'm a musician who happens to play harmonica and SPAH while being somewhat about music is really more about harmonica. The recent ranking of some of the younger players is an example of what I'm talking about. Granted it's a huge event with little corners of interest at every turn. It's pretty easy to wander down the right hall and bump into something interesting. I didn't go this year. I couldn't wrap my mind around being adjacent to the Mall of the Americas. I did go last year, I really liked the location city, Sacramento. Ironically the other harmonica event city I really liked was Minneapolis but at the Harmonica Summit and in the centre of downtown not in a suburb.
