It was my first time going this year after hanging out at the Griz for several, and I'm really happy I went. As I was in the car heading home last night I had the biggest grin on my face, and the high (as well as the new CDs I bought) got me through all day today, despite still being exhausted from staying up till 2 every night. Personal highlights for me include:

-vocally dueling singers from Nordet.
-Watching David Coffin and his daughter sing.
-Everyone joining in and harmonizing on Northwest Passage during the Stan Rogers tribute on Sunday.
-singing halyard shanties in the pouring rain while actually doing the work.
-leading a chanty for the first time in the session on Friday night.
-sitting in the final concert and realizing that I definitely need to do this more and become more a part of this community.

I played part of "The Edmond Fitzgerald" to my fourth grade class last period today.... One of the girls would like a CD. I hope she likes it enough to explore this genre more. :)
