Subject: RE: How was the 2002 Get-Away?
Oh, and how could I not have mentioned sharing Camp Songs with Judy Cook. She is the only one I've ever met who knows the songs I can't find anywhere else. At her American Traditional songs workshop I actually found someone else who knows Dicky Bird..... but with just enough folk process to keep it intesting. And then in the dinning room when we broke out into Baby Owlet and sang it through while she instanally catalogued the variences.... By that stage on Sunday my brain was too fried to really notice...Judy's only found one other person who knows Baby Owlet... Jean Ritchie... Wonder how it made it's way to a Girl Scout Camp in the Berkshire Hills???

I've started going through the video and cataloging what is on each. This takes more discipline than I can muster. If I stop to watch each song...well there's about eight hours worth .... more later.
