Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Janie Date: 21 Aug 09 - 10:15 PM One of these days, Chance and Suzette, I'm gonna be able to take off at noon on a Thursday so I can come. (Or at least I will have finally been able to retire to part-time and have Thursdays and Fridays off - when I'm, say, 86:>) |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Fortunato Date: 22 Aug 09 - 04:58 AM Janie, please come soon, we'd love to have you. regards, chance |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Severn Date: 22 Aug 09 - 09:36 AM I should have no work to go to on Friday, as I slowly inch towards recovery, so I should be available to be there without the spectre of the consequences of ignoring a 4am worktime in the morning. As for my burn victim-social shelf life, I'll play it by ear. But, as usual, I wouldn't miss it for all the steaks in Salisbury! Wild Turkeys couldn't drag me away! (or as a Diabetic non-drinker, Wild Turkey couldn't force me into being dragged away). See y'all there, hopefully with a bunch of new songs for the trading. |

Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Fortunato Date: 23 Aug 09 - 07:30 AM And for the Post PreGetaway Singaround Breakfast we'll be serving Micca's favorite: Griyuts and eggs made special for kumpny... |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Micca Date: 23 Aug 09 - 08:45 AM Really, really Chance PLEASE don't put yourself out by making grits!!! you know if I get the urge to eat gravel I will simply take a bite out of your driveway!!! |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Fortunato Date: 23 Aug 09 - 08:56 PM Maybe we can manage some of that marmite stuff you guys eat, what does that grow on again? |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Leadfingers Date: 24 Aug 09 - 05:25 AM I wil be thinking of you all that weekend ! Maybe I can get back over next year . |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Fortunato Date: 24 Aug 09 - 07:10 AM We'll toast you amongst our absent friends, Prof. Leadfingers, 'twill be 1:00am UK time. Can you stay up that late? |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Severn Date: 24 Aug 09 - 07:35 AM I guess I'll qualify under "Somewhat Toasted Present Friends", but "toast and a little jam" sounds like the Snack Of Champions! Micca doesn't take his harmony with grits? That's OK, Leadfingers, tary another year (Terry, another year?), but if you need anything, just whistle. You DO know how to whistle? |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Genie Date: 24 Aug 09 - 04:54 PM Owww, Severn! Seems your punmaker's back (still) in fine form even if the rest of you still has a lot of recoverin' to do. LOL It would be great to get to the Getaway again this year and revisit the Chance and Susette pre-getaway singaround without Joe Biden and Sarah Palin competing for our time and without Severn having to leave just as the party's gettin' a glow on. Not at all sure I can, but if I do make it to the Getaway, I'll do my durndest to get to the Thursday night singaround. Genie |

Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Fortunato Date: 25 Aug 09 - 07:13 AM To My Guru Always Said: No, Susette and I do not live in a Tardis (Doctor Who's vehicle that can transport its occupants to any point in time and space.) And unlike the Tardis, the interior of the Silver Spring House is not much larger than its exterior. However, we have yet to reach capacity of singers and musicians and friends. Come and see, chance |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: My guru always said Date: 25 Aug 09 - 05:56 PM Fantastic! We'll be there to inspect, along with our wonderful guide and chauffeur *grin* Will take advice from my Sister as to what we can bring for the Potluck, don't think that my chocolate tart made with fresh cream will make the trip without refrigeration, but we'll figure something out to bring - any particular suggestions for stuff from the UK? We're so looking forward to it & send thanks in advance for your gracious hospitality! Severn: are you huggable yet Honey? |

Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Micca Date: 25 Aug 09 - 07:10 PM Hils, they get really weird about you bringing ANY foodstuffs into USA, I have long wanted to treat Linn and Tom to some Real Cheese!!!but cannot get it past the Customs, your best bet for Pot Luck is local stuff and I do not mean that pseudo cheese product that is a definition of the word Bland called Philadelphia!! |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Genie Date: 25 Aug 09 - 08:21 PM We does gots REAL cheese here in the US, but cream cheese (especially the overly processed Philly brand) doesn't count. Find a deli or at least a Trader Joe's if you want real cheese. |

Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Fortunato Date: 25 Aug 09 - 08:31 PM Bring us some songs Hilary and Richard, we need songs! |

|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Charmion Date: 26 Aug 09 - 09:54 AM Edmund and I are planning to reach escape velocity at the border in time to make the Thursday evening scene chez Chance and Susette. Here's hoping we get ourselves in gear early enough, and miss all the traffic mayhem available to the casual traveller on I-81. |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: My guru always said Date: 26 Aug 09 - 03:37 PM I'll smuggle songs then *grin* Hey, that's a good name 'songsmuggler'..... I usually take chocolate to MudGathers, surely that's allowed in one's suitcase? Thanks for the tip though Micca! |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Fortunato Date: 26 Aug 09 - 04:01 PM MGAS here is a link to the Embassy with a list of things you can bring in. Looks like chocolate is ok! http://www.usembassy.org.uk/ukcust1.html#food says nothing about gnomes... cheers, chance |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Amos Date: 26 Aug 09 - 04:32 PM Tell 'em it's ALL chocolate. Sheeshe. It useter be so easy to visit back and forth. A |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: My guru always said Date: 26 Aug 09 - 04:43 PM Just been chatting to our local gnome who's lending us some hand luggage for the trip. He's been giving us a few tips..... |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Fortunato Date: 29 Aug 09 - 11:34 AM I believe the warm weather will persist through the Getaway weekend. So, ff the Theoi Meteoroi do permit, we'll hold the singaround in the back yard. Watch this space for requests to bring folding chairs if you are able. If it turns cold or rainy we'll just go inside. Tiki Torches! chance |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Genie Date: 29 Aug 09 - 01:44 PM Can we lay our coconuts upon your tikis, Chance? |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Micca Date: 29 Aug 09 - 01:58 PM Genie, Don't let him anywhere near your coconuts!! |

Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Ebbie Date: 03 Sep 09 - 12:33 PM The OTHER Alaska Capital City Mudcatter really, really wants to get to the Getaway this year- doesn't give me a day's peace. I can't go, but if some of y'all were to PM her, the OTHER 'Cat just might decide that she can travel by herself. And if she does, I know for a fact that she would want to go to Chance and Susette's Singaround. |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Fortunato Date: 03 Sep 09 - 12:41 PM Will do, dear Ebbie |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: KT Date: 05 Sep 09 - 03:34 AM Eb, traveling alone is no problem, in fact it's been in the planning stages for a couple of weeks now.......Traveling with you, however, is a real treat! ("doesn't give me a day's peace?????" ahem!) |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Ebbie Date: 05 Sep 09 - 03:41 AM hahahha |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: kendall Date: 05 Sep 09 - 03:53 PM Jacqui and I want to make the sing around this year, so we will need accomodations. What is the motel situation near you, Chance? |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Fortunato Date: 05 Sep 09 - 06:25 PM Mr. Kendall, I've PMd you the Orbitz link. There are some decent choices near us. But I can't imagine the Silver Spring Folk families won't fight to put you up. regards, chance |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: kendall Date: 05 Sep 09 - 07:50 PM Jacqui is English and I'm a New Englander. We do not presume. |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Ebbie Date: 05 Sep 09 - 10:04 PM hehhehheh |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Fortunato Date: 05 Sep 09 - 10:38 PM Yes, yes, quite. I withdraw the statement. I'll just get my hat... |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Amos Date: 06 Sep 09 - 02:32 PM Kendall's frown was full of gloom, "NEw Englanders do NOT presume!" Chance said waddya think of that? I'll just go and get my hat! Do not presume! Do not presume! Folks from where the tall pines bloom Men of granite, sail and loom Never ever would presume! See Chance, you been spoiled up some by Southern living, and your spine has gone soft. New Englanders believe first and foremost in sucking it up, sleeping on gravel, paying through the nose they keep to the grindstone, and earning their place in heaven through undaunted sacrifice to Our Lady of Perpetual Discomfort. Don't ask me why. LOL!! A |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: jacqui.c Date: 06 Sep 09 - 03:50 PM sleeping on gravel Not my New Englander! Trust me! |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Genie Date: 06 Sep 09 - 04:50 PM Gravel is for BREAKFAST, not to sleep on - right, Micca? |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: KT Date: 06 Sep 09 - 05:03 PM ooh, thanks for the reminder Genie. I have to have my daily dose of it to prime my voice for the Bobert Blues Band audition. |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Fortunato Date: 06 Sep 09 - 05:30 PM we're going to have some fun, looks like a great singaround developing. We're tranferring some furniture to Hanlon Mt. to make extra room for singers and pickers, just in case the weather's too cool or the mosquitos too ferocious. |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Ebbie Date: 06 Sep 09 - 05:34 PM I've got my fingers crossed for you and your voice, KT - I just hope Bobert knows how badly and completely he broke your heart, those years back. |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Fortunato Date: 12 Sep 09 - 08:40 AM There will be Vegetarian Chili as usual. Potluck for those who can and a song or story (at least one). Look for the "Folk Music Tonight" sign on the front porch. And don't worry about the Micca, he may be infectious, but he's not contagious. chance |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Fortunato Date: 24 Sep 09 - 07:18 AM As the '09 singaround approaches the weather prognosticators have thrown the bones and shaken their rubber chickens for the One of Oct. Looks like it will be too cool in the evening to sing and play outside, but nice enough to wonder out on the patio and into the garden. So extra chairs will not be necessary. PM or email me for directions. As in the past, look for the "Folk Music Tonight" sign on the front porch. My bride and I plan to be residing on Hanlon Mt in NC this time next year. cheers, chance |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: jacqui.c Date: 24 Sep 09 - 10:58 AM We won't be able to make it - Kendall has a post op visit with his surgeon in Albany mid morning and that will make it too much of a day to get to the singaround. We'll see you all at the Getaway on Friday! |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Fortunato Date: 24 Sep 09 - 01:38 PM I am extra sorry to hear you and the Cap'n won't make it. I do hope the post op goes well. |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Amos Date: 24 Sep 09 - 02:04 PM DOn't worry about KT's voice; she will outholler Janis by the time she arrives at West River, I reckon!! KT, get yourself some MP3s from Ms Joplin and study them up. You'll be all set!!!! A |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Luthier2b Date: 24 Sep 09 - 08:19 PM Been hearing about this event for a while.... I am thinking (yeah it is a struggle) tha I may try to make it this year. -E |

Subject: RE: PreGetaway Sin Ground & Chants @ Susettes From: Severn Date: 25 Sep 09 - 07:42 AM Does this mean we will all have to go down to North Carolina and then back up here next year? How will you be Hanlon it all in the future? Will a tradition become an extradition? We'll have to make this one count for all it's worth! |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Fortunato Date: 25 Sep 09 - 01:42 PM Severn, tempus fugit, There is a tide in the affairs of men. Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat, And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures. Brutus. Julius Caesar Act 4, scene 3 |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Genie Date: 25 Sep 09 - 03:51 PM Aw, Chance, now I'm really sorry to be missing this year's Getaway and the Singaround at your and Susette's home. (sob) But if you guys are moving to NC and wanna have a pre- or post-Getaway singaround there next year we can probably round up more'n a handful o 'catters (moi included) for that. G |
|
Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Lorraine Date: 26 Sep 09 - 10:05 PM KT and I will be there if I can figure out just where Chez Chance is. You assured me it wasn't far when we met a few weeks ago. |

Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Fortunato Date: 27 Sep 09 - 07:31 AM Lorraine, I've PMed you directions. We're very glad you're bringing KT and yourself. chance |

Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: momnopp Date: 30 Sep 09 - 10:42 PM So you say you'll be hanging people from the rafters this year, Chance? A couple stuffed in the chimney and several wedged in the stair cases? Do you need an extra crock pot for the chili? Or a cauldron or sumthin'? I'll be there after my 11-or-so hour workday. Unfortunately the alarm goes off at 5:30 a.m. the next morning, so I won't stay terribul late. CU then!!!!! goody goody goody goody goody Peace, JudyO/momnopp |

Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Genie Date: 01 Oct 09 - 09:12 PM Hey, I was just "there" for a couple minutes too -- thanks to sweet Severn's cell phoneand un-"cell"fish-ness! Kind of hard to hear, but Micca and Amos and several others were there (about 7:45 EDT). Got to hear Ron Davies singing "Faded Love" with backup from the group. Really wish I could be there in person. Sounds like a fun gathering, as usual. |

Subject: RE: PreGetaway Singaround Chance & Susettes From: Genie Date: 01 Oct 09 - 10:06 PM Well, Chance and Susette won't have a pre-Getaway singaround next year unless it's in NC (but, hey, I've got kin there!). But, yeah, hope to see you at Getaway next year - and we can work up a duet or something for the concert. Be there or be square! G |
