All:
Well, it's going to happen. I've just reserved a room at the Benchmark Hotel in downtown Memphis (164 Union Avenue, a couple of blocks from Beale Street) on Feb. 5 and 6, the Thursday and Friday of International Blues Challenge weekend.
The semifinals take place on those nights; my buddy Jimi Lee will be doing his thing, and one thing I'm hoping to do is pack whatever venue he's playing with MBH folks, so we can clap and howl him on to victory.
I am NOT planning to host any sort of formal, group-instructional event. But I AM planning to do two other things:
1) I will host a BYOB cocktail party / jam session on at least one of those evenings, perhaps both. I've invited Jimi Lee and I'll certainly hope that other harp players--including guys & gals performing in the IBC--will show up. Y'all are invited. No charge. This will be a great way of making our virtual community real. (When I say "jam session," I mean a totally informal scene, not a stage with drums and amps.)
2) I'm planning to make myself available for a limited number of private lessons during the day. My rates are reasonable. (Cheaper than Dennis Gruenling.)
No invitations needed, but if you're pretty sure you want to attend this little shindig, or if you're interested in a private lesson, please email me (asgussow@aol.com).

I'm happy to say that Jimi Lee, Billy Gibson, and Brandon Bailey will all be joining me at the Modern Blues Harmonica get-together during the International Blues Challenge. Clearly we'll be spilling out into the hall......

What are the rates at the Hotel? Since im driving so far, I'll be out there for a few days at least. I'm going to have to get a room anyway. Maybe we could get some Multi room things going. We could have more people if we do that.

I missed this post. I'm down for this. I will make reservations tomorrow.
I like the multi room idea Miles.
