Subject: RE: Song Circle at Margarita's, Portlanders
We all had a lovely time! About 10 of us showed, including Mudcatters EZR (Alex) and his wife Remy, SandyBob, Margarita, Mystery Guest(and his girlfriend), and me, blessings Barbara. Had to say real names around and spend the obligatory 20 minutes talking computer jargon before we could get down to the real business of making music.
Mystery guest looks like Steve Martin, only shorter, and if you want to know his name, make me an Offer. His lady friend is sweet and shy and plays autoharp.
Margarita sang the sea song she wrote that is now in the FINALS of the Seattle Sea song and chanty competition. Nice going, Margo. She'll be up there and singing it in person Sept 18! You go, girlfriend!
End EZR played us a really showy tune -- I think it was the St Louis Rag -- on guitar. He and his wife are both charming. And SandyBob sang and played us the banjo tune from which he got his Mudcat name -- "Tying the Knot in The Devil's tail". Possibly only the mosquitoes had a better time than we did, until Margarita passed around the repellent. Thanks so much, dear, for putting that together. Nice to meet you all!
Blessings,
Barbara
