We even have a camp this year for…

Thanks for connecting and for the compliment Jane! Welcome back to the Bay Area (if temporarily)!
Hi Jane, thanks for joining Natural Musicians. The group just started, so i'm sure it will grow. My email is amy@amyconley.com if you want to add me to your address book as well. I love the Northwest, lived in Seattle in 81-82 and we got out to the islands sometimes. I live in southern NH now, my family is all around New England. I'm mainly a musician who loves the outdoors and works with music/kids fulltime.
