Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Claymore Date: 01 Oct 10 - 11:34 PM Sorry to miss it but life has its compensations. Two weeks ago I did the sound for one of the most interesting concerts in over thirty years with the Mountain Music Concert featuring musicians from Nepal paired with a couple of the local Appalachian Old-Time fiddlers/mando players. Last week it was Scottish Weekend which used to take the week before the Getaway at Ramblewood, but now goes to Timber Ridge, just west of Winchester, VA. This week it is the Appalachian Heritage Festival in the Cultural Center of the Known Universe, Shepherdstown WV. The tie-in? Elizabeth LaPrelle who blew up the Getaway away in '01 is now a headliner with two of my favorites, Jay Unger and Molly Mason on Saturday night. I shall pass on the Getaways good wishes, where those who know, heard her at 13. Have a good time! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: maeve Date: 01 Oct 10 - 02:12 AM I may never get to the Getaway, and I failed to send along any auction items for this year's scholarship auction. I have, however, had the pleasure of meeting ClaireBear...thanks to Jacqui. ****************** (From a couple of years ago:) Blessings on the Getaway We send to you all journeys of delight, Diverting companions to sweeten the days, And music seeping, flowing, rushing, Enough to fill the deep well of joy in each heart Enough to lighten the darkest despair Music to brighten the stars overhead Music to comfort those who fain would be with you, Yet are not. Maeve |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Janie Date: 01 Oct 10 - 12:50 AM Nice "girls night out" tonight with Dani, Genie, Janie, Holly and friend. We are eager to get on the road tomorrow at lunch, so had better get to bed tonight! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: artbrooks Date: 30 Sep 10 - 11:19 PM We probably won't be leaving Pittsburgh until noon, so don't expect the salmon until after 6. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Rapparee Date: 30 Sep 10 - 10:28 PM You should have been flying into BWI tonight, like I was. The government should do something about those potholes in the sky. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 30 Sep 10 - 10:26 PM I expect to be driving in heavy rain to start out with, early tomorrow morning. Hey, it could be wrose. I could be Noah. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Joe Offer Date: 30 Sep 10 - 10:19 PM So, is the storm over and done with? I covered a lot of distance today because I didn't want to be driving through a storm, but all I experienced were high winds along the Hudson. That didn't stop me. I did a lot of walking on the New Jersey side of the Hudson and got great views of Manhattan. Cost me 25 cents for parking. See y'all tomorrow night. -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Charley Noble Date: 30 Sep 10 - 10:17 PM Maybe I'll pick up a pizza on the way in. Pizza and spring water! It just don't get better than that. Van is packed. GPS is programed. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Rapparee Date: 30 Sep 10 - 09:44 PM You mean the personal flotation devices that you can inflate by pulling the red handle or by blowing it by mouth? The ones that look for all the world like yellow toilet seat covers? |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: GUEST Date: 30 Sep 10 - 06:20 PM I haven't heard anything about coastal/river flooding. Mostly certain roads in DC and Baltimore with dips/underpasses that are known trouble spots. And some storm drains around City Dock in Annapolis backed up. So as long as no tour buses wreck on US 50 we should be A-OK. -- Gary |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Severn Date: 30 Sep 10 - 05:46 PM KT, These personal flotation devices do not, by any chance resemble cowboys on horseback, ducks or flamingos, do they? Provided by the SINSULL Corp? |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: GUEST Date: 30 Sep 10 - 03:28 PM You'll find your personal flotation devices under the cots. We'll be missing Dani! Waaah! KT in Seattle |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Bill D Date: 30 Sep 10 - 01:09 PM The current weather report is for a clear and mostly sunny weekend. It may be 'damp around the edges', but I assume the camp was designed with location in mind. I'd guess it drains well...and it will have about 14-16 hours to dry from the predicted end of rain till we begin arriving. we shall see, hmmm? |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: SINSULL Date: 30 Sep 10 - 12:36 PM Hate to ask this but... Flash flood warnings for Maryland, Pennsylvania, etc. Any news on the camp which is right on the water? Will I need rubber boots and a MacIntosh? |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Bill D Date: 30 Sep 10 - 12:22 PM ....that is, if I get finish packing for fighting the leak that has materialized in my downstairs hallway....it's coming UP from some pathway under the foundation...*grump*...I actually have 2 fans blowing a stream into an unused shower stall! |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Bill D Date: 30 Sep 10 - 12:19 PM well, last year I brought an extension cord and extra outlets, and several crockpot type things were plugged in on a table by a wall...I'll plan to do a similar thing...so 'reheating' like Nancy does it at least possible. (not sure of circuit limitations.) |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Nancy King Date: 30 Sep 10 - 11:45 AM Jerry, the potluck goes on from early evening until quite late, because people are continually arriving all evening. New food keeps appearing as people arrive. Note the only means we have of re-heating stuff is a microwave in the Retreat Center. I usually bring my chili in a crockpot. Charlie, yes, some folks do stay over until Monday, but you're supposed to have registered for that, just so the camp knows how many people they need to feed Sunday night and Monday morning. If you did not register for staying over, and want to, speak to Charlie Baum or Dean Clamons. There are no activities scheduled for Monday other than cleaning up and collecting hugs, but the late-night singing on Sunday night is often very nice. No Dani? Bummer! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Charley Noble Date: 30 Sep 10 - 11:31 AM Probably from 6 pm on. Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 30 Sep 10 - 11:26 AM I notice there is a Potluck Dinner FCriday night. If traffic allows, we'll try to make it and bring something. The Getaway workshop schedule doesn't say what time the supper is. Anyone know? |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Charley Noble Date: 30 Sep 10 - 08:53 AM Here's my picks for the weekend, which may change when I get more info or can't find a particular workshop: Saturday: Songwriting with Gordon Bok and Jed Marum Sea Shanties with Paul DiBlasi and Dave Diamond Pub Sing with Amos Jessop and Mark Ryer Old Time Songs with Molly Andrews and Debby McClatchy Challenging Choruses with Bill Day and Claire Norman Sunday: Sea Songs of Cicely Fox Smith with Charlie Ipcar Sally Rogers Inland Waterways with George Ward Ballads II with Colleen Cleveland and Wendy Grossman Parodies with Roger Himler and Micca Patterson And if some are filled to the brim there are plenty of alternatives. As I recall we can stay over Sunday night and leave Monday morning although I didn't see that mentioned on the schedule. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: beardedbruce Date: 29 Sep 10 - 12:49 PM BillD, I was hoping the ginger might get me a small taste... |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Bill D Date: 29 Sep 10 - 11:27 AM Bruce...do *sharks* 'save' any salmon for later comers? |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: beardedbruce Date: 29 Sep 10 - 11:18 AM Oh, well. I work until 10pm Friday- so I'll come straight to the camp from work. I wonder what I'll forget? Save me some salmon! Please! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Charley Noble Date: 29 Sep 10 - 09:31 AM I'm thinking of attending the challenging chorus workshop on Sunday. This stevedore tribute song by Edward J. Brady from the Sydney docks in Australia might be a prime candidate: ---------C------------------G---C Now it's yakker, yakker, yak-ker, ------G-----C--------------G--C For your drop o' beer an' bacca, ----F----------------------C-----------------Dm---------------F To earn your bloomin' clobber an' the bit o' tuck you eat, ----------------C--------------G/C When you're layin' on the screw, -------G--C------------G--C With the boss a-curs-in' you, ----------F--------------------C------------------G-------------------C An' the sweat runs like a river, an' you're chokin' with the heat!

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: ClaireBear Date: 29 Sep 10 - 08:47 AM Tink, I think that sounds like the perfect week. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Tinker Date: 29 Sep 10 - 08:31 AM I'm starting my journey this year from a bit farther north... I'm spending the next few days at Holy Cross Monastery on the Hudson where all practice the great silence from the end of Compline (9pm)til 8:30 am... On Friday I'll leave here and head to Getaway, hmmm think there'll be any culture shock? |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Linda Goodman Zebooker Date: 29 Sep 10 - 08:29 AM Being awake in the morning for workshops is not hard for me. One of my (so many) favorite things about the Getaway is the singing finally stopping and you realize the sky is getting light. You think about taking a wee nap, but then the sunrise colors on the water are so beautiful. A cup of coffee and you've convinced your brain you slept like a baby. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: ClaireBear Date: 29 Sep 10 - 01:24 AM Genie, I'll volunteer for harmony if you want me. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: KT Date: 29 Sep 10 - 01:21 AM yay, Abby! Bruce, don't bring that 5 string on my account. Though I do feel like all thumbs when I attempt to play Banjo, they're all on my right hand. Now, ginger, on the other hand...... |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News - Please, what's on? From: Genie Date: 29 Sep 10 - 12:43 AM Abby, I PM'd you about possible ride sharing. You should PM Janie if she doesn't PM you first. There could be something workable. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Dan Schatz Date: 29 Sep 10 - 12:07 AM Abby, that's great! I'm looking forward to seeing you again! Dan |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Amos Date: 28 Sep 10 - 11:52 PM Abby: It will be a pleasure to meet you at last!! Charley: I have your slot highlighted. Despite the long nights I never seem to miss breakfast, so I'll be there for at least part of it. Unfortunately I dinna ken any numbers. A |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Bill D Date: 28 Sep 10 - 09:17 PM Abby!You are really registered & coming? wow... we'll have to be on our best behavior and not sing bawdy songs in the evening, as I KNOW you object to such doings. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Charley Noble Date: 28 Sep 10 - 08:59 PM Who on earth will be wide awake at 10 am Sunday for a workshop on the poetry of Cicely Fox Smith and the songs adapted from such? I'm not sure I'll be awake but I'll be there. About 70 of her poems have so far been adapted for singing and recorded, and there are about 570 more poems to consider. The workshop will be a demonstration of how different singers have approached her poems. Please send me a PM if you're interested in leading a particular poem as a song. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Abby Sale Date: 28 Sep 10 - 08:19 PM Well, I seem to have been suckered into finally going up to this thing, whatever it is. People keep saying, "Oh, you'll love it." Some kind of conspiracy, I'm completely sure. I'll probably get dysentery out there in the countryside, as well. Sigh. Anyone near enough to Raleigh to share a ride? |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: beardedbruce Date: 28 Sep 10 - 12:36 PM KT, I've got my left-handed five string... ( also a left-handed trumpet) I have the 20kg of ginger- 4 5kg bags. Is that going to be enough, or should I try to get more? I'll be doing a violin sort at the Getaway, trying to figure out which ones to fix, which ones to keep, and which ones to sell. Kibbitzers welcome. |
