Tinker - want to know a secret? I had no idea you were Tinker, or even a Mudcatter - I knew you were in the Mudcat cabin, but I never really had a chance to talk to you! (Plus I think I was partially brain dead for most of the weekend.) Folks, there were two perfectly good men (I don't want to point fingers, but Mick and Barry - if you read this, you know who you are.) who had their sorry butts firmly planted in chairs and refused - I mean REFUSED - to dance with us girls!! Can you believe it?!?!

Voyager, thanks for the story. That's what happens - we sing and create the world.

While we're heaping praise on Ken Schatz (who deserves it) his partner in NexTradition, Alison Kelley, matches him in talent and energy. Ali is also in the Johnson Girls.

The Johnson Girls' CD seemed to slip out without fanfare. Folks, if you like sea music and an incredible blend of strong, clear harmonies, you'll love their CD! (I think this one is rapidly becoming one of my favorites.) It probably deserves its own thread...
