Allegheny Echoes: It's Coming in June!

Allegheny Echoes is coming! June 24-29, 2007
Marlinton Motor Inn, Marlinton, WV in beautiful Pocahontas County.

This is a not-to-miss workshop experience. Whether you play banjo, fiddle, dulcimer, or guitar, or if you sing or write--the Allegheny Echoes Workshops in Marlinton, West Virginia are the best place to get your creative juices in fine fettle.

I attended in 2005 and will be back this year. In 2005 I took creative writing and wrote over 20 poems in a week--almost all keepers. The picture above was taken the last night of the workshops, when the music played until the sun came up. Musicians of all ages and skills levels jammed, moving from group to group. I just listened, soaking it up like dew on a dry patch of ground.

I can't wait for this year's workshops. I'll be taking the vocal class and hope to learn a lot about singing ballads. I'll also be up with the night owls every night, because I will never get enough of pure mountain music.
