Subject: RE: UK Old Time Music festival - Feb 8-10 Gainsborough
Gainsborough was A1, Acme, Extra Fine.
NickP was gracious and attentive host and festival master and Claire guided us successfully to the stage and sheltered our instruments and matched my two tone shoes with her silver and black, and all the festival crowd were absolutely wonderful. We made many new friends,Adam Hurt & Beth Hartness,Kate Lissauer, and Trevor and Stuart from the Downtrodden Stringband and more.
    We had a grand time. Claire has asked that I write a review and I'll fill in the details and put it up here soon. We're at Heathrow now waiting for the plane. Had great times with oombanjo and the villain and the Ducks!
    Banjo Ray was grand, he helped us out on Friday with some quick and necessary banjo assistance, and we're very greatful.
    My beautiful bride is well, thanks to the many, many folks who were concerned.
    Special thanks to Liz and Paul who hosted us in London.
Our guide and navigator, Micca, led us up and down the country across the M25 and into and and out of the wilds of Heathrow, he was fantastic, period.
