Ben and Cathy Ginter are pleased to announce two great barn gatherings for the 2012 season.

and
Friday, September 21st 2012

6:30 PM ~ Rain or Shine!
As you can see, we are changing things up a bit to make way for a more flexible and fun evening for everyone. As in the past, we will have the stage, along with the PA system, set up for anyone who wishes to perform, but we wanted to create an open party atmosphere so come, eat good food, meet with old and new friends, jam, sing, play, drum and celebrate all the blessings of Life with us. All friends, drummers, musicians and good people are welcome so feel free to spread the word!
Potluck Dinner
(bring food and drink to share)
Fire Circle
(weather permitting)
If you plan to stay overnight, let us know a day or two in advance so we have a count for breakfast.
This is a free event ~ Donations Accepted with Gratitude
Tent camping space and the loft in the barn are available for those who would like to spend the night. All Pets MUST be on a leash!!!

In memory of
Will Weir
One of our dearest friends and fellow musicians passed away August 31, 2011. Minutes before we heard the news, we saw a magnificent green and golden-white meteor stream across the eastern sky and head north. Our prayers are with his family and all who knew and loved him as we did.
"Oh how I long to be on the River Severn. Sky of blue and the smell of pine in the air. There is singing and dancing by the light of the moon. Talking and dreaming with friends, how I long to be there."
River Severn: music and lyrics by Will Weir
Ginter Guitars handcrafted by Ben Ginter, Luthier
We would like to extend a very special thank you to Thea LeDonne and Jim Bowen for their generous donation in honor of Will's love of music and for the beauty of the music he wrote and shared so freely with all of us.
