Sleep deprived even before Getaway, it took me a few days to catch up on all that missed sleep......

Things were jump started by a fine party and jam, as usual, going long into Thursday night at the Rosenthals

It was wonderful to have Leadfingers as a visitor and getting to hang out with him and talk of old and new times......

The special guests were well chosen, and all the young girls, many of them new, were a special treat. A met a lot of new friends, reconnected with some old ones, and swapped a few songs............

There were stirring tributes tributes given to my long time friend and singing partner Phil Fox, who'd had a stroke a month before Getaway and passed away the night after he got home. He was very much in my thoughts the whole weekend....

I got to do fun workshops with Sara White and Mmario.....

As mentioned by Joe, some of us got to go for a sail with Janie Meneeley.

The Second Annual Post-Getaway Monday Night sing at Zed's Cafe proved to be an excellent time, with visitors Steve Cormier and Leadfingers and a gathering some excellent locals, a fine turnout, despite being up against the Debate.....

New Getaway friend Ash Devine singing locally on Tuesday night......

A highlight of my year, every year without fail, and always for some new reasons to add to the old.......
