Subject: RE: Getaway 2016 aftermath
I don't stay up late like I used to,(this was my 38th consecutive year) but there's always plenty of music, hugs and silly doings BEFORE midnight.

   I wish everyone who has been here 'sometimes' could come back, but the camp only holds about 200.

I too am so glad to see those young singers doing so well. We had 4 consecutive hours of ballad sessions on Sat., and barely scratched the surface of the ballads people knew. (There could be an entire Ballad Getaway where each ballad could have the long discussion it deserves.)
(Susan Friedman brought copies of her recently published book, "Body Count" where her years of research on murder ballads is thoroughly discussed. Get it!)

For those who do Facebook, pictures of various people and scenes are beginning to appear.
