Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: artbrooks Date: 19 Sep 10 - 11:54 AM Taps at 10:00 pm, reveille at sunrise, Amos. And if does either, he's dead meat. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Amos Date: 19 Sep 10 - 11:40 AM You don't need an alarm clock. And if you play Taps at sunrise many who just got to bed half an hour before may protest. But if you want to have it to hand for demonstration, or overwhelming others, or just fondling in your sleep, you should send it or bring it with. A |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Rapparee Date: 19 Sep 10 - 11:18 AM Okay, I need opinions. Shall I send my trumpet on ahead? I haven't practiced; in fact I haven't had time to touch it in months so my embouchre is non-existent. Moreover, I play from dots. On the plus side, it prevents me from singing and it makes a great alarm clock. I'll need opinions quickly, as I must send it off by Tuesday if it's going to come along. Thanks. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Charley Noble Date: 19 Sep 10 - 04:13 AM The format of the C. Fox Smith Workshop will be similar to what I did two years ago but with some new information added on her life and poems, and with copies of the new songbook being available for sale. Anyone who would like to lead one of her poems as a song is welcome to contact me via PM and I will endeavor to reserve you a slot. Cheerily, Charley Noble, still resident in York, UK |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Janie Date: 18 Sep 10 - 06:00 PM Thanks, gals and guys! This is a year when I show up and practice the art of appreciative listening. The Getaway is Good Medicine, and that is what I need. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Bill D Date: 18 Sep 10 - 01:57 PM " "Make Your Own Workshop" can be great...many years ago, Mark Gilston announced "Songs of Dismemberment", and a bunch of us sat on the grass for an hour, taking apart everything from little piggies to wayward sisters. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Nancy King Date: 18 Sep 10 - 12:56 PM LOL -- I was wondering when someone would ask about that. Should be fixed soon. That's the space for "Make Your Own Workshop" -- anyone who wants to have a session that's not on the schedule can use the Amani Lodge, which will be available all day. We'll announce such sessions at mealtimes, probably via whiteboards in the Dining Hall, as making actual announcements presents difficulties in that space. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Amos Date: 18 Sep 10 - 10:28 AM What is "Time Announced at Mealtime"--a clockwatching service? An exercise in relativity? A |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Nancy King Date: 18 Sep 10 - 09:51 AM Well, um, we can't guarantee the weather, but it's been absolutely perfect for the last two years, so we're hoping... |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: KT Date: 18 Sep 10 - 02:06 AM Looks fabulous, Nancy! So many great choices! Thanks to you and all of the others for all of your hard work organizing! I bet you've even arranged to have the same weather as last year! Can't wait to see everyone! KT |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 17 Sep 10 - 09:04 PM Would someone please post a link to the workshop schedules? When I search for the Getaway 2010 There's all sorts of information about fees and directions but I can't find the schedule of workshops. Inquiring minds want to know. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Bill D Date: 17 Sep 10 - 06:56 PM "So -- any other questions?" Teacher...teacher? How can be sure it's really folk? **ducking and running for the door** |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Nancy King Date: 17 Sep 10 - 06:26 PM OK, OK -- I guess it's time for some explanatory remarks. If you look at the schedule now, you will see that the descriptive blurbs have been added. Just place your cursor over a workshop and a few words of description will appear. Very nifty feature -- thanks, Dean! Do notice that the Saturday afternoon line-up in the Old Dining Hall has changed. Same stuff, different order. And do keep in mind that there may yet be further changes. "Singing to the Choir" was Sally Rogers' idea; she had it subtitled "Songs to promote activism." Dan was just beside himself wanting to co-host it, as you can imagine. Should be good -- we've never really done much with that kind of songs in the past, and it's an important part of the tradition. I know some folks have been confused by "In Memoriam." No, no -- it's not what it looks like. Rita and Carly are just fine, thanks. They're just co-hosting this session. You may notice that there is no "remembering Barry Finn" session, which many of you had wanted. Here's the deal: Last year, when our own Mary LaMarca died, and we also lost several other folkie friends, we thought about whether to have a "remembering" session for them. After much cogitation, we finally concluded that, the demographics being what they are, this is going to happen more and more often, and if we had a memorial workshop for each person, we'd soon be doing little else. So we didn't have a memorial session for Mary, though we loved her very much. This year, we decided to have a session honoring all of our folk music friends who have passed on. I expect Barry will be one who is remembered, but we hope others will be included as well. It needn't be limited to those who died this year. We hope the session will turn out well. And of course, anyone who wants to can dedicate a song in any workshop or concert to anyone they please. So -- any other questions? We anticipate having a great time, as usual! Be sure to take your vitamins! Nancy |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Charley Noble Date: 15 Sep 10 - 05:56 PM Looks like enough to keep me very busy and happy on Saturday! Sunday morning I'll have to load up on coffee if I'm going to do something coherent with my C. Fox Smith Workshop at 10 am. Then I can relax and enjoy the rest of the day! Cheerily, Charley Noble, resident in York, UK. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: maeve Date: 15 Sep 10 - 07:27 AM Of course the real excitement will be when Kendall walks in. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Genie Date: 15 Sep 10 - 02:15 AM If Sev's singing, it would be something about "Moat's Art" and "Wreck We 'Em" - followed by a bovine tribute called "Moo'ed We Sunday" -- excellent impetuses (impeti?) to suicide in themselves. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Rapparee Date: 14 Sep 10 - 11:32 PM I plan on doing the gravedigger's soliloquy from "Macbeth" followed by Severn singing the entire of Mozart's "Requiem", following which we will sing "Moody Sunday" or whatever that song is that is supposed to make everyone commit suicide. That way a pleasant time can be had by all. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Gorgeous Gary Date: 14 Sep 10 - 07:48 PM Amos, In previous incarnations (when Darriel Day and Allan Rathbone were running it), the Pub Sing workshop was, I think, taking some inspiration from the "Pub Sing" that is the final event of the day at the Maryland Renaissance Festival. At which one tends to hear songs like "Health to the Company", "Let Union Be", or "Flowing Bowl". But, as Bill said, there are many directions to take it. I've usually played to the hosts by offering up "Old Black Rum" or "Night Paddy Murphy Died" (since I know Darriel likes Great Big Sea). I have other ideas in mind for this year though (*insert evil laugh here*) -- Gary |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 13 Sep 10 - 03:21 PM At one time there was a temperance saloon in the small town where my mother grew up. I wonder what songs they sang there. Apparently they had a lot of music. |
