Dick,
As the organizer of last year's "production", I am glad you and Bill stated your concerns. The responses were mixed. Frankly, given the stunned faces in the front row, I was shocked when several FSGW stalwarts asked to be included in the 2007 plans. Some loved it.

For a variety of reasons the production grew like Topsy and had minimal rehearsal time. The theme was borderline "folk". The stage was miniscule compared to Ramblewood.

Hopefully, your concerns will be addressed, the length and breadth of the extravanganza will be shortened and the theme kept closer to folk.

The doowop/folk parodies I heard last year were brilliant. But if FSGW would prefer it be dropped, I don't think anyone will be devastated. Certainly it could be saved for a impromptu session after hours.

And it won't dominate the Getaway. Actually I have spent the last week getting in contact with UKers, Aussie's and locals putting together stuff for my workshop. I have been contacted by others doing workshops who are looking for lyrics, CDs, names, etc. This Getaway will be another where you would need to be in three places at one time to get all the best of it.
