Thread Name: NEFFA 2005
Subject: RE: NEFFA 2005
I think my definitive image of NEFFA 2005 was sound for the New Orleans Jazz Band being run by a guy in a kilt.

Had a grand time yesterday -- didn't connect with at least one person I expected to see, but managed to see more sessions than I thought I'd be able to. (Unfortunately, not ALL of each individual session I caught.)

Especially enjoyed Animaterra, Judy Cook's Food Songs, Betty and Norman MacDonald, Jennifer Wood & Bob Clayton, Woodchuck's Revenge, the Jeannie Robertson remembrances & field recordings, Pamela Goddard & John Roberts, John Roberts and Ye Mariner's All and everybody else I caught bits of. Too many people I couldn't schedule seeing. Sigh.

Curmudgeon and I were part of Tyler Buck and Friends doing a Celtic Singaround -- and we had a few minutes cut out of our already short time (40 minutes instead of 55) by the previous occupants of the room taking way too much time to leave.

All in all, almost made up for missing NEFFA last year because of Tom's surgery.
