Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Gorgeous Gary Date: 26 Aug 10 - 07:50 PM Charmion: I'm sure my better half would love to attend a Sleeping workshop, since she usually crashes out before me. But I do retain some sense. Even at the filk cons where I stay up much later than I ever do at the Getaway (like 4 or 5am), I will go to bed reasonably early on Sunday night if I know we're driving home Monday. (For some definitions of "reasonable". It's still usually midnight...) -- Gary |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Amos Date: 06 Sep 10 - 02:03 AM Charmion, It won't do--there are far too many young folkies who would sign up to sleep with you... Edmond wouldn't stand for it. :D A |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Alaska Mike Date: 06 Sep 10 - 06:16 AM Well, I just got word that I will be co-hosting a songwriter's showcase on Sunday afternoon from 4:00 to 5:00 pm. So all you song "makeruppers" be sure to bring your creations to the showcase and share them with the rest of us. Can't wait to hear the music. Mike |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Janie Date: 10 Sep 10 - 11:29 PM Anymore hints on the program? Would be nice to have time to hunt up or learn appropriate songs. (Ain't complaining, Nancy and committee, just wondering.) |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Gorgeous Gary Date: 12 Sep 10 - 08:00 PM Good folks of the Mudcat, we appear to have Getaway schedules! (Hope I'm not trumping anyone, just happened to check the FSGW website and there they were...) -- Gary |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Dan Schatz Date: 12 Sep 10 - 09:03 PM Still no cloning workshop. What's up with that? Dan |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 12 Sep 10 - 10:39 PM I see they have a doo wop workshop, and I'm free at that time. Dip, dip, dip, dip, noom, noom, noonm, noom, get a job. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Nancy King Date: 12 Sep 10 - 11:51 PM Nope, no cloning workshop. Better too much than too little, right? So, take a look. Hope you like it! BUT please be aware that this is SUBJECT TO CHANGE. In fact, I was just about to suggest one when this got put up. I'll still suggest it, and we'll see what happens. If you are a workshop leader and we have you scheduled in two places at once, tell us, and we'll change it. If you just want to BE in two places at once, well, join the club. More details later... |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: SINSULL Date: 13 Sep 10 - 11:13 AM Once again I can't be in three to four places at one time. All you have to do is add Elizabeth LaPrelle to the mix and my brain will implode. Jed Marum and Gordon Bok co hosting a workshop? LOL Too good to be true. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Amos Date: 13 Sep 10 - 11:49 AM Sheerly awesome!! Can the intrepid organizers provide me with a working definition for a Pub Song? It's been a few years since I habituated a pub. And some of those I was in were singing pop rock numbers. A |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Bill D Date: 13 Sep 10 - 12:36 PM Pub sing is just 'songs that might done in pubs'....lots of choruses, drinking songs, rowdy stuff, 'clever ditties' that catch the attention....etc...even bawdy items.. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Bobert Date: 13 Sep 10 - 12:46 PM Danged if they ain't done it again... Utah Phillips one year and Jerry Rassmussen the next??? Oh well, ya'll... No matter... Saturday, 3:30 to 4:30 in the Peace Cabin... Floozies??? Jammers??? Onlookers??? B~ |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Amos Date: 13 Sep 10 - 12:48 PM They're making you work for it, Bobert!! LOL!! See ya there if I haven't fallen into a coma by then... A |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: beardedbruce Date: 13 Sep 10 - 12:51 PM Bobert, AM or PM???? |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: SINSULL Date: 13 Sep 10 - 01:25 PM AM of course. Silly question Bruce. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Charmion Date: 13 Sep 10 - 01:37 PM Amos, all participants at the Sleeping Workshop must of course bring their own instruments. As an accomplished soloist in this genre, I play the Single-Occupancy Sleeping Bag. Duets and trios must equip themselves accordingly. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: artbrooks Date: 13 Sep 10 - 01:42 PM A Pub Sing? At a teetotal venue? One shall contrive. |
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. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Bill D Date: 13 Sep 10 - 03:36 PM We can sing "The Pub With No Beer" |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Lonesome EJ Date: 13 Sep 10 - 04:01 PM Sorry Bob, I don't get in until Sat night, so much luck with the floozies and the jam. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Amos Date: 13 Sep 10 - 04:33 PM IF he gets in real late we can ask him to show us "Blue Moon".... A |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: GUEST,Dani Date: 13 Sep 10 - 09:17 PM what are the floozies doing WITH the jam?! Dani |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Bill D Date: 13 Sep 10 - 09:30 PM "It must be jelly, 'cause jam don't shake like that!" |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Genie Date: 13 Sep 10 - 11:26 PM Yeah, Amos. Ernie's the only one I've ever known to do "Blue Moon" as performance art. ; D |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Bobert Date: 14 Sep 10 - 07:55 AM Well, Eeejaa... You had better be there for the Saturday night concert... |
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: 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: 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: GUEST,kendall Date: 15 Sep 10 - 07:10 AM Debbie MCClatchy followed by Gordon Bok and Jed Marum? It don't get no better than that! |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: maeve Date: 15 Sep 10 - 07:23 AM That's an enticing schedule, Nancy & Company. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: kendall Date: 15 Sep 10 - 07:24 AM Being a typical New Englander I don't get excited very often, but this line up is a real treasure. |
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: 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: kendall Date: 15 Sep 10 - 07:46 PM maeve, you make me blush. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Janie Date: 15 Sep 10 - 09:23 PM Looks great! |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Rapparee Date: 15 Sep 10 - 09:26 PM I shall not bring my rapier, but I may bring my small bullwhip. |
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning From: Janie Date: 17 Sep 10 - 05:05 PM Lacking imagination as I do, I'm wondering if there are some hints about "Singing to the Choir?" |
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: 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: 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: Nancy King Date: 17 Sep 10 - 09:11 PM Jerry, I think someone did, a while back, but here it is again. Click on the link at the top to get Sunday's schedule. |
