Linda, I'm planning to be there for Fourth Saturday.  Thanks for
bringing us up to date on all your news.  I hope things start to go
better for Jenny and that she is more comfortable as time goes on.

	Good morning,

	         Hope this summer is going well for you.

	         You'll be glad to know that Ron Holley's mother's
condition
	has improved.   He and Monelle are going to OK soon to help her
move 
	into assisted living, but she's still not going to move closer
to
	them, but stay in the area she's called home for most, if not
all,
	the decades of her life.  I'm sorry this will make it more
difficult 
	on Ron and Monelle, a situation I understand all too well, but
can
	understand her wishes.   She's made a nice life for herself in
Wewoka.

	         My summer has certainly been eventful, starting with
surgery 
	for Jenny.   Hopefully, in time, this will end in health
	benefits.   They installed a pump that will distribute a drug
that's
	SUPPOSED to help lessen the spasticity of her muscles and make
it
	easier for her to move and for us to help her.   But, at the
moment, 
	it's been nothing but extra difficulties.   Very disappointing
to all of us.

	         I've, recently, returned from a week of teaching
dulcimer in
	Bardstown KY.   I've been doing this job, regularly, for the
past 20 
	years or so and always enjoy it.
	         In less than a week, unless forbidden by unforeseen
	circumstances, Wesley will join me in my last big trip of the
year,
	to Michigan to participate in the Grandaddy of all dulcimer 
	festivals, the Old Time Something Or Other, in Evart Michigan.
I'm
	really looking forward to it.

	         The 4th Saturday in July will be July 28th.   I will
have
	returned, by then, and am preparing some material for it. 
	         I can see how the subjects might change between now and
	then, depending on what I find and think of.   But, at the
moment,
	the subjects are
	some different versions of Mississippi Sawyer, Flop-Eared Mule,
and 
	Smash the Windows (also known as Roaring Jelly.)
	         I don't expect to end up dealing with all 3 of these,
but to
	settle down to 2 when I find which ones have the most
interesting
	variations.  These tunes are familiar and very easy to learn, so

	don't worry about preparing anything in advance.   In fact, a
	"polished" arrangement would make it more difficult for you to
be
	open to loads of interesting possibilities.

	         Hope you can join us. 

	Best Wishes
	Linda
