Actually, you can count me in too. I'm planning to come, though the dates
coincide with my daughter's swimming and diving championships. But I want
to come, and I will play if I do.

28 years ago you would have missed me. But I was taken there by my
undergrad clarinet teacher in 1970, and returned under my own power in
1973 and 1976. Among the players I heard there were Harold Wright,
Gervase DePeyer, and Hans Rudolph Stalder, who played a recital on period
instruments (copies, I think) including a performance of K. 622 on an
extended clarinet. It was a revelation! It was always a fun week,
especially the Coors on tap. It was just a local brew then, and you
couldn't get it on the east coast of the US.
