I have to agree with Jerry (JB) that there were many sublime moments at the Festival. We're still in Motel-land here in Mystic gearing up to return to Maine, and these moments keep flashing through my mind like someone's Powerpoint presentation. I promise to provide a more full description of what we experienced but not from this motel/AOL connection that cuts me off from the internet every 5 minutes!

We had a wonderful evening at the Griswold Inn in Essex, in spite of the difficulty we experienced in trying to hear what people were singing in an acoustically live dining hall with too many people talking in the back and additional noise from the adjacent taproom and other dining rooms.

Fortunately, I did not have to follow Marc Bernier's presentation of "The Moose Song", more about that in a later post.

Now we have to dash for breakfast, come back for final packing, and head back to Maine.

Oh, yes, we'll work out something on them CD's.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
