Yeah, Patsclaw: what's on the list? We (the Once Born Gospel Singers) did a gig at Sally's convalescent home last Monday night--and Sally played her autoharp--for about 10-15 residents, a half-dozen staff, and a bunch of our friends--. And next Monday night we are playing at Sally's house for the first time in five months: she's going home tomorrow! She'll still be in a wheelchair most of the time at first, but she has walked as far as 160 feet using her walker, and the progress is continuing apace.

Oh, Pat--the list: our usual set list doesn't contain many of the songs I learned growing up, and I had a feeling that not many of our audience knew many of our songs, but they did seem to enjoy it. But it would be nice if we could add a few old timeys from somewhere other than Appalachia. Also, an awful lot of our repertoire seems to be spirituals about going to heaven...

And Wyo, I'll be at chez-Swannae, and--I'm sure--so will RiGGy--like Winter's Wages a concertina player.
