Re: tuning a 12-string: he didn't sound so bad, did he?

Had a great time! The CD I bought played for a bout a minute then stopped working. I'll have to try it on my computer. Had a migraine Friday and it came back this morning. Oddly enough, it was fine when I was driving, but I got out of the car, and WHAM! The concert was wonderful. Lots of stories, and Bob sang my request "Ocean Station Bravo", that Gordon Bok has also recorded. The first time I heard it and met Bob was at the one and only beautiful little "Oak Grove" festival I attended in 199-longer-than-10-minutes-ago. I already owned a tape and I'd seen him on Armed Forces Korea Network.

I got to play in Bob and Jeanne's "petting zoo" after the concert. I do like that little accordion, but luckily for everyone, I didn't try messing with the hurdy gurdy.

It was good to see folks I hadn't seen for a while, and the post-concert music was great. It was great to hear both Shaws and the two songs Barbara wrote, and I'd think of more to say, but I'm tired (not to mention medicated and currently headache free).

Thanks Bob and Jeanne, and THANK YOU MARY!
