I'm home but my computer seems unable to get onto the Internet!

Curmudgeon, that session sounds wonderful. I hope it is well attended and wish I could go. I'd love to go to one of the sessions, but it is unlikely given the distance. Instead I'll be at the Blackstone River Theatre's Summer Solstice Festival in Cumberland, RI. I enjoy reading the threads about your sessions even though I can't go. It seems like a lot of wonderful people share terrific songs.

Gibb, the Northern Neck Chantey singers were scheduled to do net-hauling songs at Australia Beach on Sunday at 11. I don't know if they did it because rain had just stopped. I was leaving the church sing at the other side of the seaport and decided to go to another concert nearby. I also don't know if the NNCS were supposed to do this presentation in boats or onshore. The seaport demo squad does a demo of this in boats with songs on a regular schedule now.

When I wrote about Saturday's pub sing, I forgot to
Mention that during one of the songs a young couple got up and did some swing dancing. They were good.

I will post more when I'm rested. In the meantime I hope everyone made it home safely or soon will. Please let us know your own experiences at the festival.
