The hostess is coming late to the thread......sounds like a good crowd and I haven't mentioned it yet to my friends who came to the last gathering. We're thinking light summery food for the pot luck - huge Nicoise salad (w/anchovies for the purists) then some home made egg salad, tuna salad, that type of thing ---- and rolls for people to fix what they want to eat. I'll try and get my ddaughter to come -- she is 'stepparenting' a little boy just about Kiran's age........

Will Nancy King be joining us??

Here's hoping y'all have a lovely time of it, though!

i thought it went very well -- a goodly number of people, two adorable youngsters (Kiran and Leon) and Jacui's grandson Louis(Lewis - no sure how you spell it) were there......food was good and plentul and music was super...

It was a wonderful evening. Some surprise visitors from the DC area. Two adorable two year olds followint "the big boy", Lewis around. Bountiful food with Deborah convinced there wan't enough. And music, beautiful music.
Dan led off with an hour of songs mostly with choruses ranging from trdional folk to The Rose Tatto. He played an assortment of instruments - autoharp, banjo (be still my beating herat), Kendall's twelve string and his own six. Dan has a beutiful voice and simple delivery. He could have gone on for another hour and all would have been pleased to listen. The crowd favorite must have been The Wheels On The Train Go CLACKITY CLACK. And we killed off Puff The Magic Dragon.
Later the mention of Helen Scheyer led to a few "over the top" Helen songs, songs of death and goodbye. Everyone participated and it was a very special evening. Even Kendall performed - with Kiran ehtralled. I hope someone got a picture of those eyes. It was magic.
Everyone go a hug goodnight from Leon - what a cutie. Some got hugs from the snake population. Jacqui was rescued several times when Morticia got a bit too amorous. LOL You had to be there.
Lewis watched longingly as Dan played guitar. He was convinced that he could never play that well until he found out that Dan started at 15. Lewis is 10 and already playing by ear. heh heh Now if we can only keep him away from the electric stuff.
It was a beautiful evening. But if Maeve sang I missed it while I was downstairs with Leon and Kiran. I heard Jacqui from there but missed a lot.
So TRUBRIT is right. I think it went very well.
I was sorry to have t end so early.

It was indeed very good music from Dan, followed by Kendall's and Jacqui's delightful short set. No, Mary, I didn't sing. I had some songs and poems ready but was so weary I thought it best to drive home while I could do so safely. I left after delivering a cherry tree.

The sounds of "Puff" were in the air as I drove away. Thanks for the delightful hospitality, good company and refreshments, and wonderful music.

Keep a watch for the re;ease of Dan's new cd/book project. It will be a treasure.

Could the folks who ordered a new CD (and received the little sampler in advance) remind me who you are so I can make sure to set copies aside for you? Thanks.

I had to agree!
