Small, but very vocal session. And we were a pleasant surprise for a couple who moved to Portsmouth about a year ago and hadn't yet found their kind of music. Glad we could supply it! (And let them know about the weekly Friday session AND next weekend's Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival). The crew was me (Linn Schulz nom de Mudcat Bat Goddess), Emery Hutchins, Charlie Ipcar (Charley Noble), Judy Barrows, Tami Bill (Ranger1), Sue Young, Gail & Jim Finn, Pete Hale, Dianne Lavoie, Marty Stock, Dave Nunes, Chris Vaughan (and his daughter Stephanie from NYC), Justine Donovan, Ramona Connelly, Carol Coronis, Bill Lehrman & Carol Pierson, Gail Diederickson & her sister Janice, W.B., Bob Eaton (who stole about an hour from his volunteering duties at Strawbery Banke/NH Public Television event), and Tyler Buck. W.B. was in the vicinity. And Jeri texted Sue something about feeling one step above an artichoke. That meant she wasn't there. And evidently Don Hale still had the bug that kept him from Nick Noble's WICN "The Folk Revival" PMFF promo Thursday night. What we sang was -- 1. Roll the Old Chariot - Emery Hutchins 2.
