I’m gonna try! I’m so glad you came, thank you. I wish we had more time to hang out and talk, will aim for that next year. You did an awesome job on your interview–thank you for doing that.

@al.swint Thanks so much for sharing that! Knowing a bunch of licks is great, but only if you know how to apply them. The example applications in this video are great! It’s gonna help me a bunch!

Man that’s great stuff! Katy is a walking dictionary of licks. It blows me away that she can also play them while singing.

It’s the stuff she plays in between the licks that I want to learn. She’s amazing

Thanks so much for posting this! Katy gave us some gems and kernels of knowledge, a springboard to better playing. The Athens camp this year was so inspiring to me… Herb

What song did the two campers sing with the Purple Hulls during the Saturday night concert? It was the one with the bass singer and it was something like “meet Jesus the man”?

@BZPowell, Mike Harrison (@mharrison43) was singing lead, and I think he suggested it. I was the bass singer, but Mike just asked me to follow his lead. I didn’t know the song, but here’s a link to a video of it if anyone else knows the name: https://youtu.be/-n0Q0LsdCjE?si=wJnJe5TOyyt0OTMa
And thanks Mike for including me—it was fun.
