Review for North American Folk Music and Dance Alliance Inc, Saugerties, NY, USA
I discovered Summersongs five years ago and my only regret is not having discovered it five years earlier. Whenever I'm asked what I'm finding wonderful or inspiring in life, Summersongs is at the very top of the list. Spending a week with folks as passionate about songwriting as I am is always uplifting and energizing. Through the patient skills of their quality teaching staff, my own songwriting has steadily improved and become more deliberate. I've also brought friends to Summersongs who are now collaborating with me to create song circles and house concerts in our own community in Florida. The spacious acceptance and support that is offered by all the staff and fellow songwriters serves as a touchstone for how a loving community can be together. The ripple effects of this organization are many and far reaching, and I wouldn't miss my annual pilgrimage there for anything.
