Subject: RE: Mystic Sea Music Festival 2011 line-up From: Marc Bernier Date: 15 Jun 11 - 12:07 PM Salsa; I was not around most of the weekend, but heard many very positive comments. It has been many years since that was possible, and many folk felt that your meals contributed strongly to the overall community feeling of this festival. Thank You. |
Subject: RE: Mystic Sea Music Festival 2011 line-up From: GUEST Date: 15 Jun 11 - 12:43 PM Indeed, Marc. There have been times in the past when it felt like the food service folks were almost hostile to the crew, performers and volunteers. The return to a more relaxed, family like setting - even with the pressure of running around from site to site- promoted a good sense of positive morale. Folks knew that their well being was an important concern and the kitchen crew did their best to ensure everyone was taken care of. Though it seems that a number of performers had no idea what the $10 food voucher was for. sigh... :) Weather permitting, it would be nice to set up a picnic blanket on the village green and have a Mudcat Box Lunch for a meet & greet. I know there are still plenty of catters out there I have yet to put a face to. |
Subject: RE: Mystic Sea Music Festival 2011 line-up From: KathyW Date: 15 Jun 11 - 08:29 PM At Charlie's request, another of my videos from Mystic, this one of Roll & Go from the "Fitting Out" concert Thursday night. http://youtu.be/zpGX4aD44RE Alas, I forgot to check that my camera battery was fully charged before I left home, and because our flight was delayed by the storm there was no time to charge it before the concert. I couldn't record as much as I wanted to and finished off the evening with about two minutes of battery life left! |
Subject: RE: Mystic Sea Music Festival 2011 line-up From: Charley Noble Date: 15 Jun 11 - 08:57 PM Kathy- Roll & Go is honored to have exhausted your battery. Does this mean that our group sucks up energy? We like to think we generate energy. That's really the best video we've seen of us doing the work we love. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
Subject: RE: Mystic Sea Music Festival 2011 line-up From: ChanteyLass Date: 15 Jun 11 - 11:33 PM Kathy, good job with that video, too. I also watched the one with Tom Kastle and Kapriol'! singing Hand over Hand. Anonymous Guest, you have a good idea, but it might be hard to find a time to meet for a meal. It would have to be at time when everyone has arrived by whatever means of transportation, no one has departed, and there is no music going on! |
Subject: RE: Mystic Sea Music Festival 2011 line-up From: sciencegeek Date: 16 Jun 11 - 07:00 AM Chanty Lass, that was me sans "cookies". A reminder once again that the kid is also a technoklutz. I was thinking that Sat. would be a good day, near the gazebo. We can give it more thought before next year. lol |

Subject: RE: Mystic Sea Music Festival 2011 line-up From: Charley Noble Date: 16 Jun 11 - 04:18 PM Now I saw lots of folks snapping photos at the Festival. How about doing some editing and posting a link to where we can view them? I'd love to see what I've missed. I've only got about 500 more to run through myself, mostly of the Saturday evening concert, the C. Fox Smith Workshop and the Grand Finale. The late night sessions over at the German dancehall are the most challenging to photograph; the lighting is very low and it's difficult to find one good location to shoot from. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
Subject: RE: Mystic Sea Music Festival 2011 line-up From: GUEST Date: 16 Jun 11 - 08:23 PM I really didn't take any photos this year, just used the video camera. I will slowly be uploading some of them on YouTube to this channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/seachanteyfan In addition to the two previously mentioned here, so far I've also uploaded: Tom Kastle: http://youtu.be/ONmIANENqj8 Rick Spencer: http://youtu.be/ABILPHPnOYg Rick Spencer again, with Marc Bernier and Geoff Kaufman: http://youtu.be/T0qJIfJYEuo Caryl Weiss, with several friends: http://youtu.be/riwNYC3423M |

Subject: RE: Mystic Sea Music Festival 2011 line-up From: Charley Noble Date: 16 Jun 11 - 09:03 PM Kathy- Good work! Charley Noble |
Subject: RE: Mystic Sea Music Festival 2011 line-up From: ChanteyLass Date: 16 Jun 11 - 10:52 PM Kathy, I agree with Charley: good work. I'm curious about how you decide what to record knowing you can't capture everything. Sciencegeek, a good time for a Saturday Mudcat picnic might be after the end of the afternoon concert but before the start of the evening concert. I think we are allowed to stay on the grounds although I usually leave to grab something to eat. There isn't enough time between the Saturday symposium and the start of the afternoon concerts. However, performers for the next concert might have to do sound checks. As you said, we have a lot of time to think about this. |
Subject: RE: Mystic Sea Music Festival 2011 line-up From: Charley Noble Date: 17 Jun 11 - 03:38 PM Here's the next set of Mystic photos that JudyB took of Sunday afternoon workshops, June 12, primarily of Roll & Go, Mike Kennedy and Margaret McCandless at the C. Fox Smith Workshop: Click here for PIXS! Judy's camera does a good job of reaching out and nabbing nice images in less than perfect lighting conditions, as long as someone doesn't move. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Mystic Sea Music Festival 2011 line-up From: ChanteyLass Date: 18 Jun 11 - 12:07 AM I enjoy reliving the festival through the photos and videos and appreciate being able to see what I missed. |
Subject: RE: Mystic Sea Music Festival 2011 line-up From: Charley Noble Date: 18 Jun 11 - 12:04 PM Yes, this is fun viewing the alternative world of the Mystic Sea Music Festival. Cheerily, Charley Noble, about to set sail with crew for the Press Room session this afternoon |

Subject: RE: Mystic Sea Music Festival 2011 line-up From: ChanteyLass Date: 20 Jun 11 - 12:00 AM Oh! Wish I could. I guess many others wish they could, too. Robbie O'Connell was at Saturday's Blackstone River Theatre Summer Solstice Festival in Cumberland, RI, on Saturday with his cousin Aoife Clancy. Also, Laura Travis, host of Mystic's closing concert, hosted the Traditions stage. Nice to see them again so soon. |

Subject: RE: Mystic Sea Music Festival 2011 line-up From: Charley Noble Date: 01 Jul 11 - 02:39 PM I'm doing my final edits of the closing concert and I'm blanking on the name of the woman MC who is also a local radio announcer. Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Mystic Sea Music Festival 2011 line-up From: GUEST Date: 11 Jul 11 - 02:25 PM Thank you, Kathy, for posting the videos you did of Tim and Kenny. Although I raced from the Cape Cod Maritime Festival, where I played a Barnacle performance, I saw Deidre, and vaulted the gate at the Seaport at 6 p.m., raced to the shed hoping to catch Marc, Tim, and Kenny, I missed them and only caught the final Leave Her Johnny. Thanks to you, Kathy, I did get to see two performances by the boyz. Thanks. Barnacle Babe (Mary of Barnacle) |
