I know I'm not the only musician on this forum...would anyone be interested in a weekend of camping, fishing, and making acoustic music? I wanted to see what the interest level was before I start thinking too hard about a destination, but I've got some secret spots I'd be willing to take a small group to.

All ability levels are welcome and encouraged, as well as any instrument you can bring and play on a camping trip. Open to all styles of music. Singers welcome. I play guitar (20 years exp) and mandolin (much, much, less experience) and I will try to sing if I'm feeling it. Hope somebody wants to bring a conga or something.

What have you got? I think this could be a lot of fun, and possibly a really cool tradition. Who's interested?

love acoustic guitar! especially blues! also a little harmonica. with my schedule i probably wont be able to do any camping trip, but it sure sounds like fun!

[blackghost]

Can't play a thing or sing. (I can rhyme though) If you are able to get a trip together, and If I could make it, I would be happy to cook for the group. I can bring ear plugs too. .......

Stephen, I thought you were a master of the skin flute ?

[Stick]

I'm in. (very novice blues guitar player)
Maybe BG can make up a new song "Ain't Got Nothin' But Twenty Inchers Blackghost Flyfishin' Blues"
What part of the country are you talking about?

I am not anywhere near Maine at the moment, but have wanted to do something like this for quite a while. Unfortunately, while I play over 40 musical instruments , I play only one any good for this sort of outing; the harmonica. . . and since it's my most recent instrument I'm not particularly good it (yet).

Depending on when and where I might be interested. Used to play guitar quite a bit, a little harmonica too. I'd have to dust them off, but I think I could still carry a tune

So is this going to happen?

There is a guy at the Big Eddy that plays the bag pipes.

Herd the National Anthem one evening.

How cool is that? ............

I've been thinking more about this and I'd really like to make it happen. So far, I count three musicians including myself and a cook...possible dates that would work for me: 6/23-25; 6/30-7/2, or we could wait for September. I can make time in the summer, too, but I was thinking trout and salmon fishing. I'm thinking that if we are going to possibly lock up instruments in vehicles while we fish, it might be good to stay at a campground...maybe Big Eddy or Cupsuptic.

I should throw this out there, too: I don't have a car at the moment, so I'm looking to talk somebody into picking me up in Portland if none of my regular fishing buddies can make this trip. Willing to cover most of somebody's fuel costs.

Still open to suggestions. Anybody interested can message me or email me at rayflyfish@yahoo.com

When we lived in Brewer there used to be a guy that would walk all around town playing the bagpipes, I kind of wonder if it's the same guy. Honestly, I have no idea who he was but I really miss that guy. Maybe it's because I'm part Scottish, but something about the bagpipes stirs my blood.

No problem with a ride. I have a Caravan so there is plenty of room for gear.

How about camping at eo
More places to fish

[Cubby]

what about kokadjo n sept roach long weekend just before season closes ?

[igotbugs]

Cubby, that is the side of the lake I was thinking about. Let's make it happen. September sounds good to me, leaves plenty of time to plan. Kevin, thanks for pinning this.

[Russ]

I'd be interested. I could bring my didgeridoo. Haven't totally mastered it yet. I could also do some of the cooking. Oh God, don't get me started!!!!

sounds like fun...keep us posted on the progress and where you want to have it.
