Heading down to South Carolina last Wednesday, I wasn't really sure what to expect. And admittedly, since I tend to have a bit of homebody inertia, there was definitely a part of me that didn't want to get on the plane.
I don't need to go into detail about the day-to-day at the Savvy Musician in Action, but here's something remarkable: I was never, not even once, bored. Every single leader (David Cutler, Howard Herring, Ranaan Meyer, Kimball Gallagher, Ariel Hyatt, and quite a few more) was inspiring and engaging... kind of eerily so.
