I wanted to take a moment to introduce you to Roy Throssell, and tell you a little bit about him. He had always had a love of music, but with demands of his business and family there seemed to never be enough time. It wasn't until he retired at the age of 65 that he decided he wanted to learn to play the fiddle his Aunt had left to him.
He fully embraced music; took lessons, played at jam sessions, went to fiddle camps, and even took part in fiddle contests. His dedication and love for music was passed along to his grandsons, Deni and Adam Johnson. His perseverance to learn at any age became such an inspiration to those around him, that even 12 years later, Deni called his CD "Perseverance". It was one of his most admired qualities.
Being a part of fiddle camp brought him great joy and accomplishment. He looked forward to going every year, to reunite with old friends, to make new ones, to be blessed to be among good music and good people.
Roy passed away in August 2012, it seemed appropriate to have a music camp in his memory. We are so pleased to be able to invite you to our third annual Roy's Retreat. It is our hope to encourage you along in your life long journey with music, no matter your age!
