Subject: RE: Too old for folk when this is over
I'm 81, and fortunate to live in an area with lots of 'folking around'.

There will be no FSGW Getaway this Oct., but IF it happens next year, I can probably make the 1 hour drive. (I've made 41 in a row now, and will be there if possible.)
   I totally understand why Charmion and Edward will probably not do it, and I (we) will miss them and others.

FSGW also has a local festival early each June which I have attended since 1977, worked on since 1978 and managed the crafts for 15+ years. It will 'probably' re-start when things improve... but it depends on 3-4 factors that are always being debated.
   There will be local sings, concerts and such, but I tend to only frequent the close ones.

   It's hard to take in that most of my folk going that began when I saw Pete Seeger in about 1961 is winding down.... but then, *I* aam winding down.
My son & his wife are good singers with 30-40 years of music ahead on them... if, if and if...

If it ends, it's been a good run..
