Sorry about not bringing any Moose Drool, Genie. We got into a last minute bind before coming (Barbara had a recording session—playing a portable foot-pedaled reed camp organ to provide incidental music for a poetry reading CD—that didn't get out until about 4:00 p.m.), so in our rush, we grabbed a bottle of wine out of our larder. It seems, however, that it turned out to be a beer-drinking crowd. Moose Drool next time for sure.

Great concert and song fest! Charley and Judy have some really interesting stuff, most of which I had never heard before. I was particularly enthralled by the C. Fox Smith material. And it was good hearing you again, and all the others you mentioned above (spelled Mariide, incidentally—that sea chantey voice of hers reminds me a lot of Judy Henske).

Many thanks to Steward and his good wife for throwing their house (and deck) open to a mob like us. More and more I think the house concert format, especially when followed by food and a song fest, is about as good as it gets!
