Last summer I attended Patrick Landeza's Slack Key classes at the Augusta Heritage Workshops in Elkins,WVa. I learned a lot, and made plans to return this year for more. There were only 3 students for the main class, although the mini class grew every day. This year, Patrick won't be back to Augusta. I don't know if there was a schadule conflict, or the small response from students had an effect. For next year: Those of us with finances that prevent our studying in Hawai'i should contact Augusta's web site and ask about slack key class for next year. Patrick will be teaching at The Swannanoa Gathering this year. www.augustaheritage.com www.swangathering.org/
