Many thanks for all the nice comments. I do think, however, that "very pleased" is a bit of an understatement.

There are a few matters that could do with improvement, not the least of which was the weather; a bright sunny Sunday would have been much better. While Saturday's rain did force a change of venue, the Discover Center was a great room, and they want us back. As to the Press Room, I really think that a nice day would have allowed a bit more room for for those who were there for the music as some of the crowd was just seeking shelter and a drink.

All suggestions and "complaints" will be taken under advisement. Reserving seats at the Press Room is nigh on impossuble. I fear that holding places for Andrew, Carole and Mary may have disjointed a nos eor two..

I do my best as a catherd to call on people to sing. But unless I know that an individual is willing and ready to sing, I won't. All too often I have done so at random to be met with a demurral - not ready- don't know what to sing, etc.

But, all things considered, a resounding success - Tom
