Gerry, I'm glad that you too remember those Saturday night sessions with so much affection; I was wondering if I might be looking back at them through rose-tinted wotsits.
You're so right about the good-naturedness of it all. I always felt welcome there, and perhaps I was a little naive, but it seemed like most people were appreciative of the fact that the music was so varied. Lovely times indeed.
Ok, so now I'm wallowing in all of this nostalgia, and feeling all homesick. Thanks a lot. I thought I was over all of that! You might want to be careful with all of these postings replete with jovial tales of cameraderie and musical merriment at all of these English pubs that I miss so. I may just have to move back!
