Here's what folks had to say about the 2005 Flatpick Weekend:

"I had to let you know how much I enjoyed every minute of last weekend's flatpick event. I feel that after talking to many that were there, it was definitely a success. I learned more in those two days than I've learned in a long time. I also met a lot of really cool people. It was worth every penny." - Rob Schmitt Columbia, IL

"What a great time. The first guitar workshop I've ever been to, and it was a quite an experience. The instructors (Jim Hurst and Tim Stafford) were very friendly and took the time to answer any and all questions. I personally gained a lot of information from them. The performance on Saturday night was a real treat. Jim and Tim along with Bull and Larry Light put their very hearts and souls into the show. Bull and Tammy were great hosts. They made you feel welcome from the moment you walked into the hotel, till the time you left Sunday afternoon. The first St. Louis Flatpick was a true success. I'm looking forward to next year." - Dave Cannon

"The workshop was absolutely fantastic! I enjoyed both instructors. Tim Stafford provided hands on and Jim Hurst covered structure and theory. " - Larry Shroth - St. Louis, MO

"Thanks for the great experience ! The concert was spectacular!"
