Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival
I saw at least four mudcatters in mudcat t-shirts! Saturday night after hours was great - I only lasted about 15 minutes on friday night...

The symposium was worth getting up early to attend, the Stan Rogers tribute, ALL the concerts - lovely chats with Nancy King; good to see Dick and Susan again; match names to faces for a lot of others ---I only introduced myself to Charlie -(but he forgot me anyway. *sob*) because everyone seemed so BUSY! getting to almost meet Jim Rockwell - but hey, I got his signature on a shops company CD! Spent WAY too much money on CD's - glad I camped instead of a hotel. Heck - didn't spend much time at the campground - money would have been wasted on a hotel room.

VERY nice visit with Rita and BillD. BTW- for future reference - I have a STRONG recomendation of the 'Little Kitchen' from someone who is pretty particular about their food.

Ran into Barry Finn a couple of times - he taped a song for me I wanted to get from him last October - Thanks Barry!

And I finally got to hear Tom Lewis - have never even heard a CD of his before - though I know a lot of his songs...but most importantly - finally got to hear Nex Tradition!!!!!

I had to stop watching Hoolie - 'Stompin' Nick' was making me exhausted just looking at him. (But kept within earshot)

The only problem I had with the weekend was that EVERY hour I had to skip something I wanted to see in order to watch something else! EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!! (and you can only do the run between two sesssions bit so many times a day. Besides , I've always felt it was rude.)
