Country Blues > Port Townsend Country Blues Workshop

Port Townsend 2011 Staffing

<< < (3/3)

Johnm:
I will be at Guitar Intensives in Bar Harbor again, O'Muck, the week following Port Townsend.  I'm looking forward to that, had a great time last summer and that is a beautiful part of the world. 
You make a good point re EBA, blueshome, it is a shame that two out of the three main Country Blues week-long programs have met simultaneously the past couple of summers.  It's not an ideal situation for either the attendees of these events or the faculty, since they're put in an either/or situation for Port Townsend and EBA Bluesweek.  I hope that these events will be able to operate on separate weeks after 2011.  It's good in the sense that whichever one you end up attending is a good time.
All best,
Johnm 

Peter McCracken:
Sorry I'm late with this, but we still don't quite have a complete staff for 2011. Missing a harper and maybe a guitar picker. But, here's who has committed:

On guitar, Orville Johnson (slide), John Miller (by the good graces of Michael Roach), Guy Davis, Otis Taylor, Jeff Scott, Nat Reese (traveling with Robert Fillipi), Cheick Hamala Diabate, Mark Puryear, Pura Fe (lap slide), Sule Greg Wilson (banjo, percussion, dance).

Sunpie Barnes on accordion; killer piano staff of Ann Rabson, Erwin Helfer, and Judy LaPrade.

Lauren Sheehan will teach mandolin, and the mighty Washboard Chaz Leary returns.

Jay Summerour, Phil Wiggins, and one more teaching harmonica.

The Ebony Hillbillies - Rique (fiddle), Norris - (banjo), Salty (bass), Newman Baker (percussion), and Gloria Gassaway will lead the vocal track.

Vera long will again lead the gospel choir.

We’ll miss some folks this year; it’s a difficult thing for sure, but we can’t have everything want, as it turns out.

Cleoma:
I'll be sorry to miss it but it's great that Henrique will be there - he is a wonderful player and did a terrific job teaching last year. 
Suzy

Temple:
Suzy, you will be missed!

uncle bud:
Yes, Suzy, you'll be missed. Have a blast running Fiddle Tunes. One day when I'm a gentleman of leisure I hope to make it to that one.

Peter, if you're looking to fill a guitar slot, might I suggest Lightnin' Wells. Worked his dang butt off for Centrum last year, as I recall. Knows one or two 'acoustic blues' numbers.
