What a beautiful gathering. Good people and lots of good singing. It's always a treat to see and hear Big Mick, my brother Ken, Heather, Karen and so many new friends whose names I probably wouldn't spell right. And of course, Jean Ritchie has been a hero for just about as long as I can remember. To sit in her own backyard and hear her sing "Now Is the Cool of The Day" was one of the sublime moments of my life. And "Pretty Saro" was every bit as good the second time around.

Thanks to Jean and George and Jon and all who helped put this day together.
