As usual, a rather nice session.

The crew was me (Bat Goddess, aka Linn Schulz), Ranger1, Amy, Dianne Lavoie, Charlie Ipcar (Charley Noble), Alan Eaton (after Mudhook's gig at the USS Albacore), Don Hale, Emery Hutchins, Pete Hale (also in town because of the gig on the USS Albacore; had to leave early to work on his porch restoration -- an excused early departure), Bruce MacIntyre, Justine Donovan, Bill Lehrman and Carol Pierson, Gail Finn with her mother, Rita Pomerleau, Phyllis, Carol Coronis, and Jeff Warner. Dave, the reenactor from Kennebunkport, made an appearance (in period garb) to say hi and say he'll be at the festival next week, but he didn't have time for a song.
