I dig reading Mikey's readers comments almost as much as his LP reviews, blogs, interviews ect so I was wondering why no comments on this incredible opportunity were posted. Just imagine the stories you'd hear if able to attend. I know 4K is mucho bucks but adjusted for inflation back to when these iconic artists were producing the world's classic rock and roll the price tag would be about 1K. I must have each and every one of their LPs bought back in time for no more than six dollars. I would love to be one of these R & R campers, being a very serious music fan, but 1k back in 1971 was a little steep for me just as 4K is today. Oh well. And of course one can buy alot of LPs with the money instead. In closing thanks Mikey for informing us about this camp and hope it's a success. Maybe the cost will be reduced for future camps.... Keep rocking.
