One of the things I love most about the Getaway, is the warmth, encouragement, and absolute acceptance extended to all of us who share in the love of the music. There are many fine singers and musicians, and 99.9% of them not only accept those of us who ain't, they embrace us, make it safe for us to participate. They convey that our participation in the making of music and song is valued.

(Although, after seeing Amos, Jim, Mick, Joe, Severn, myself, and the horses we rode in on, some Getawayers were probably thinking that the encouragement has gone quite far enough!)
