Rejuvenation

The Inn at SAMW
Every year we excitedly look forward to August. Why?

It's our rejuvenation month. At the end of the month we get to spend a week at a secluded "village" on the beautiful shores of Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire.  It's where we partake in WUMB Radio's Summer Acoustic Music Week - or SAM-W, in the parlance. 

SAMW is where Janet and Michael first met and played together.  It's a gathering of like-minded musicians - and aspiring musicians - to sing, play, listen, and learn.  Concerts, classes, late-night jam sessions - and an old fashioned ice cream parlor!  Most of our original songs are conceived, grown, or polished at SAMW.  It's a place where you can relax your mind and body, and concentrate on making music in all its aspects. 

So when we return, we will have probably hatched a new song or two, improved our guitar and mandolin skills, picked up a few harmonica riffs, and stayed up way too late for a lot of nights!

See you in September!
