Mountain View Autoharp Jamboree continues without Charles Whitmer and Ron Wall, just like that!

Seems to me the politics surrounding this event should be sorted out first. The Folk Center cannot just dismiss Ron Wall and Charles Whitmer and expect everything to keep rolling without some questions and loyalty issues. If I had been asked to be one of the new teachers, I would have said, no! But then, maybe they want it to fail, so there is a real case to discontinue it. Time to move on, I would say.
