Hello gang! I am here at Sorcha's house; got in yesterday and was very glad to see a bed after four nights on the highway. We have been jamming (I tried out the famous Maggie)and making plans, and I have played with her amazing upside-down fighting dogs and gone to visit cute grandson Owen.

Before leaving Long Beach I went to see a cranberry harvest where Mary Garvey works, and listened to Gordon Bok sing some of her songs (I especially liked a Stan-Rogers-esque song about Newfoundland). Mary, the song I'm working on now is set in Nemah/South Bend so it'll be sisters with your oyster song.

Katlaughing and Rex, I will PM you each shortly.

I've done very little busking over the last week, though, as it's getting too cold and snowy. After I visit the Colorado contingent it'll be time to head for the real south.

Love, Marion (Torrington, Wyoming)
