It was a somewhat peculiar sensation for me, playing host and tourguide for an old friend in a place I still consider home ground though I haven't lived here for over 40 years. We crawled through the Pike Street Market and alonf the waterfront, where I told Charley about all the things that aren't there any more, went to Blake Island and saw a spectacular sunset on the water, and then the happy gathering at Stewart and Betty's house above Carkeek Park! Charley's performing skills have improved greatly since 1962, and I really enjoy his choice of songs to perform. AND JUDY'S! Deckman did one of my alltime favorites, "Dear Margaret", several people whose names I knew I would forget demonstrated their great taste in music and their wonderful voices (too bad my dad was having problems with his hearing aid), the beer was good (I liked the "Drawbride Blonde"; see, there's tis neon representation of Rapunzel in one of the towers on the Fremont Bridge...)... Seattle is a hell of a good place with a hell of a lot of good people. Thanks for the music and the hospitality.
