Scottish Dance Masters' Conference

Jan. 12, 2005, 5:53 p.m. (Message 40246, in reply to message 40238)

It does seem like most useful information was removed from the original
post before sending to the list, doesn't it?  Anselm, is this a new
feature of the server software? :-)  Since I'm planning to attend the
musicians' section, I know that this is at Sonoma State University,
Rohnert Park CA (north of San Francisco) 6/15 to 6/19/05 (at least, this
is what's on my calendar!). Hope to see other Strathspey-ers there! -Steve
