Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: beardedbruce Date: 06 Nov 07 - 06:28 AM Quick post: Great fun was had, in spite of the missing people. ( Sorry BillD, they are not THAT gullible) ClaireBear was there. Micca was last seen heading off towards Maine. Next Year's Getaway will be in OCTOBER. I started campaigning in April to get the weekend off for this year- I will start in March this year, just to be safe. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Par From: maeve Date: 04 Nov 07 - 07:36 AM Ferrara asked," Has anyone heard whether ClaireBear is feeling better..." I haven't gotten any response to a PM I sent her to see how she was doing. Either she made it down and hasn't had occasion to leave the fun to check on such things, or she is still sick. I hope it is the former. Maybe a 'catter who also knows her in the outside world could check on her, or perhaps someone who is in contact with the Getaway gang could ask. maeve |

Saturday night. They have been fed after a whole day of workshops. On their way to the evening concert. Sigh |

I will be there next year though. Can't believe I'm missing John Roberts and Gordon Bok. I did have a great weekend playing music with David Scheim last weekend in VA or I would be entirely bereft.

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Par From: Ferrara Date: 01 Nov 07 - 10:14 PM Has anyone heard whether ClaireBear is feeling better and whether she made her plane? What a rotten time to get sick. ClaireB, if you had to miss it I think you may be able to get a refund if it was for medical reasons. But I hope you will be there! Rita F |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Ebbie Date: 01 Nov 07 - 09:57 PM We PROMISE not to have any fun until you can ALL be present! *giggle* Bill D You promise? I am gullible. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Nancy King Date: 01 Nov 07 - 09:51 PM Deb, I'm not quite sure what you meant by a "singing group" (workshop?), but both Gordon Bok and John Roberts are on the program. Gordon is co-leading the "Songwriters Showcase" and doing a mini-concert on Saturday, and leading a guitar-tuning session (the exact nature of which is still to be worked out) on Sunday, and John is co-leading the Ballads workshop and doing a mini-concert on Sunday. I expect they will both show up at other sessions as well. Nancy |

Gawdammit, you all are giving me heartburn, here!! I guess Mick will have to take up the slack. Jacqui, Kendall, Ranger and all the other maniacs of either sense will just have to make up the deficit by being twice as funny. At least Micca's on hi way. But, really, guys, I yam disappointed. Can I blame this on the Bush Administration??? A |

However, I'm heading home after the concert on Saturday night and will be back Sunday with the whole family - including young Kiran - so be patient; there's plenty of baby for everyone on Sunday.

Gonna take the looong way via the Eastern Shore to spend the night with sister Annie. We'll follow each other over to West River on Friday. Last call if anyone flying in wants me to bring pillows, sleeping bag, blankets, towells, etc. See all ya'll shortly, if not before then! Janie |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Bill D Date: 31 Oct 07 - 06:39 PM " to sing my fool head off." The ground will be littered with 'fool heads' if past experience says anything. Fortunately, they do grow back...usually with more songs stuffed inside.. we're waiting!.....hey...maybe *I'd* better go pack! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Nancy King Date: 31 Oct 07 - 06:28 PM At this point the weather forecast looks pretty good: rain-free, if a bit chilly. Days in the upper 50s to low 60s, nights in the low 40s. That might not seem "chilly" to some of you, but it's been only about a week since we had temps in the 90s, and we're not used to fall weather yet... Looking forward to seeing all of you! Nancy |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Amos Date: 31 Oct 07 - 06:01 PM Well, it's the night before Xmas sorta kinda time around here. In my head anyway. Tomorrow night I am on an overnight flight to the fabled East Coast, which I am sure still exists because I occasionally get phone calls from people claiming to be there. But more than that, because I go out there once a year to sing my fool head off. Can't wait. A |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: MMario Date: 26 Oct 07 - 12:24 PM Had dinner with my great-niece and her family last night - I broached the suggestion that I take her to MD and have her baptised there. Her mother offered me her oldest daughter (5.5 years old) if I would leave her in MD. Her father promised me a painful death. She spit up on me. But that's okay - because middle sister and I had a good long snuggle - with two kittens! (sometimes 4 kittens) |
