SPAH 2010 may be over, but those who were there won't soon forget it. There were great jams and excellent shows and seminars by the likes of Al & Judy Smith, Brendan Power, Steve Baker, Clint Hoover, Dick Gardner, Susan Sauter, Jay Gaunt, Joe Filisko and Howard Levy to name just a (very) few.

If you missed it, or if you just can't wait for the next one, start planning for 2011 right now. Next year's SPAH will be in Virginia Beach, VA, from Aug 9-13 at the Holiday Inn Executive Center. It will be hosted by the Cardinal State Harmonica Club, who put on the annual Virginia Harmonica Fest.

Check back with us for more information on 2011's shows, seminars, and room rate specials, but block that time off your calendar now—you don't want to miss it!

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at spah this year and making time to join us at the Jazz Club. There will be  a top notch band of musicians who will be able to play almost any jazz standard.  As a new twist this year, I am asking everyone who is attending the jazz club to email me your song suggestions.

I will compile all suggestions and bring them them to the spah jazz club on laminated sheets. Therefore, when we pick songs, we will choose songs from this list. Therefore it will increase the chances that one or more of the songs that you love will be performed and encourage you to join us.

Please email me your song ideas to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Looking forward to seeing you at that Jazz Club!
