Thread Name: how to meet musicians or fun at the airport
Subject: RE: how to meet musicians or fun at the airport
Fine stories! This reminds me of a trip to Ireland on the Fishguard-Rosslare ferry about 10 years ago. Unfortunately, on the outbound leg a severe storm struck and the boat was unable to dock at either harbour and had to rough it out for about 10 hours. As this is polite thread I will not try to describe the state of the boat or its passengers! We had a cabin and although Patricia managed to sleep, the "Poseidon Adventure" kept drifting into my mind every time I tried to nod off help by some very loud kind of resonating cluncky sound from the bowels of the ship! It was dismal.

Then someone said "A session's started up in what's left of the bar!". Needless to say my heels were not seen for dust and I was down in a flash to the "prohibited" car deck to fetch my instruments! The session was a great one...spectacular in the extreme...as we tried to stay on our seats...and took everyone's mind of the ongoing problems. Eventually, the wind died down and we docked but that day will stick out in my memory for a long time!

Not the airport...but I hope of amusement anyway!
