Curmudgeon here. Now its my turn to express my most heartfelt thanks to all our wonderful guests (Naemanson, Bill, Sam, Ian, and Dan; Barry is more of a regular) at last night's Press Room session, certainly one of the most memorable ever. It is often challenging to maintain a balance there - too few musicians, too many musicians, an occasional desire for a can of fiddle or banjo repellent. Yet despite the nearly overwhelming number of musicians there pesent, the room was pervaded by a magic that transcended the usual flaws attendant in such circumstances and made for a truly vibrant session.
