Here 'tis -- The crew – me (Bat Goddess, Linn Schulz), Charlie Ipcar (Charley Noble), Jeri, Don Hale, Susan Young, storyteller Lynne Cullen, Ernie Pigeon and Amy, Justine Donovan, Dianne Lavoie, Fred Gosbee and Julia Lane (Castlebay), Bruce MacIntyre, Barry O'Brien with Mike McGuinn and his wife, Peter Hale, Alan Eaton, Marty Stock, Ellen and Dave Hamil with friends and family in tow, Gail Diderickson and her sister Janice, and Dave Johnson. And later Jeff from Cambridge (AKA Cue or Q) joined us. And a little later Claude from Sherbrooke, Quebec, came over to say how much he and his wife were enjoying the session, how it was the highlight of their visit to Portsmouth. Got a later start than usual while waiting for the jazz folks to get their instruments (big ones, like drum set and bass) packed up and the table area vacated, but we definitely had a quorum when we got started. Started loud and lively and kept the momentum going. 1. Yangtze River – Charlie Ipcar 2. Congo River – Dianne Lavoie 3. Essaquibo River – Susan Young 4.
