Usually about a third of the Festival audience is in residence by Thursday evening. There's always room for more but I understand that working people are more constrained than some of us underemployed shantymen. The late evening session at the German dancehall, however, is one of the best for new participants. Fewer people makes it more intimate and less intense. Of course "intense" is also great unless you choose the wrong key for what you want to lead and crash and burn...

We'll be there for sure Thursday evening; we better be there since we're scheduled on the evening stage as Roll & Go.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
