There was also a great article in the Freeman about the festival you can check out.

Guitar Mash
In two weeks The Great Woodstock Mash (Guitars and Vocals - where attendees jam with beloved musicians - in the intimacy of a gorgeous Woodstock home) will be here. The evening's proceeds will benefit Onteora Schools' Music Department, keeping in the tradition of Levon Helm who so generously supported this department. I'm helping spread the word - and whether you can attend or not - I hope that you might also pass this on to folks who love music, play and jam themselves and/or love Onteora Music Department.
It is a rare opportunity to be with well-known guitarists, including Larry Campbell, in a private home - for an intimate, fun evening of guitar playing and singing. The ticket price is $80 and includes a delicious meal prepared by "Cue" BBQ and summer cocktails.
Here's Guitar Mash's Mission Statement:
Guitar Mash is a non-profit organization that creates opportunities for guitarists and music lovers to connect in a profound way, while supporting music education and communal creativity.
The Guitar Mash movement connects people of all ages, abilities, and culture through making music together, with the guitar – that most democratic of instruments – as the fulcrum.
Thanks for your support. Details are below.

Another Fun Dersh Party
Everyone who came to the Dershowitz party this year had a great time! With the glorious pool and the stunning view it is always a great place to relax and have fun. And Nat is a wonderful host!
