I am SO glad to see that this sort of thing is alive and well in other places (I assume) besides Maine where we got nothin' else t' do but sit around the wood stove of a winter's evenin' and memorize stuff.
SINSULL - Thanks for remembering my doing "Charlie Tended Weir" at the shanty sing. Kendall sure surprised me when he chimed in with Neptune's voice! Before I die, I'd like to be able to do all of A Child's Christmas in Wales, even though it's a guy piece. I also do Little Orphant Annie (The gobbuluns'll get you if you don't watch out!), more Ruth Moore, and am working on Sam Magee for the future. People 'round here always seem surprised that anyone would take the time and make the effort to MEMORIZE stuff like this. Sad commentary on poetry, people, and time in general.    PS - The next Side Door Coffee House is Friday, Jan.17 at 7:00pm at the UU Church in Brunswick,ME... open mike first set for 90 minutes, featured performer this month is Jerry Blodgett. Coming in March: JEZ LOWE! 207-373-1526 FMI.
