Review for North American Folk Music and Dance Alliance Inc, Saugerties, NY, USA
I was a "newbie" (first-timer) at Summer Songs 2009 in Ashokan, N.Y. I heard about the songwriters' workshop from a friend and travelled from the Oregon Coast to attend. It was all my friend had promised and more. I came back, not only a better songwriter and musician, I came back a better person. I took classes in open tunings, guitar arrangement, vocal harmony, and performance all taught by warm, supportive professional performers. Offered, and I took advantage of the offer, was a "one-on-one" with any of the teaching staff. My experience with my "one-on-one partner was worth the trip across the country. I left the camp a with a new confidence in my songs and my performance, and a heightened energy to write, write, write.
