Sol-

You should be very pleased with the success of this fundraiser. What a blast! And the audience outnumbered the performers. And what an amazing supply of food!

My only regret is that we couldn't have spent more time singing. Five hours was really not enough time to feature each singer or group, and there were sixteen acts and about thirty performers. However, I do also realize that the performance space was only available for the five hours. I do hope that you are encouraged to do this again, and hopefully organize a longer schedule of workshops and concerts. I'd certainly be willing to come down again from Maine.

I'd also like to thank Barry Finn again for leading the choruses for my two songs, Bound Away (Bill Adams) and Mobile Bay (C. Fox Smith).

I'm now staying at Paul's place, some 30 minutes east of Albany, in transit to Michigan if anyone wants to follow my further adventures on my current travel thread.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
