The first question you should ask yourself if you weren’t at MPF Fall 2010 is, “What was I thinking?!?” You missed a good one! Just don’t miss the next MPF which will be MPF number 10. As always, I thoroughly enjoyed myself up in Maine. A big thanks to Keith and Kelly for their amazing hosting and patience. We had people from all over sleeping in every corner of their lovely home (I think 14 people!) And a huge thanks to the instructors Tim, Koady, Ellen and Clamato. Great tunes taught; amazing tunes played.
The concert was incredible. We are so blessed to have such fantastic musicians willing to drive from so far to play us great music.
I’d like to let the photos and videos do the talking, but I want to mention one thing: We always try to have a get together of one kind or another Saturday evening. I think we really hit on the right combination this time. Most of the attendees of the workshop came to Keith and Kelly’s house and Kelly made a super supper for everyone. While waiting for dinner, I gave a somewhat impromptu reedmaking 
workshop. We plan to make this a more formal part of the weekend next year. What was most amazing about Saturday night was the sheer amount of music played. Talking about it afterwards, Clamato and I guessed that with only a few short breaks, music was played for about 7 hours! Considering the first MPF when we knew only a few tunes all together, this is just unbelievable. We’ve grown so much and learned so many tunes!
And MPF Spring 2011 will be number 10! So, while still keeping MPF it’s usual laid-back self, we’re planning some extra fun stuff for the tenth MPF. Come join us for #10 and stay ’till #50!
