After the Getaway, a number of Brits will be gathering at my house. Sussex Carole and Cranedriver leave on Friday so I would like to have a gathering, Thursday PM November 9th, to see them off. Mid-week but it may be your only chance to see them.

Saturday, November 11th will be the final Song Circle of the year. As always, 6PM start with a buffet then music. The remaining Brits should be well rested and in rare form by then.

Who's in? Who needs a bed? Charley Noble has graciuosly arranged additional beds if we need them.

Judy and I are certainly coming Thursday, November 9th.

We're not sure about Saturday but we'll try to make that one as well.

Cheerily,

Damn! Because of our work schedule, it looks like we're going to miss seeing Sussex Carole and Crane Driver. (Looks like I'll have to mail the socks -- or bring them along this weekend. -- Ha! Surprise, Carole! There are more moose in your future!)

But we WILL be there on Saturday the 11th and will need a bed.

This working for a living sure puts a cramp in our musical social life. How come we're not traveling by those cool personal jetpacks that My Weekly Reader promised back in the optimistic '50s?!?

"...those cool personal jetpacks "

I saw a news report that there was actually a convention of jet-pack inventors, doing demos and reminiscing. They can fly just fine...for between 20 and 40 seconds...*grin* It didn't say whether carrying pot-luck and a guitar was included in computing the time aloft.

Have fun - it sounds like a great way to getaway from the Getaway! Wish I could get away from here today - wet and miserable in Yorkshire.

Phone number? Hahahaha. I am day hawk. I go to bed early and I know ye fellers would end up calling me in the wee hours.

Of course, you can easily look up my number and call me in the wee hours if you wish. But, be careful what you wish for, as I also rise early.

Alas, if it was only a matter of resources, not time and personal committments. Someday... someday.

As far as I know all the Maine contingent were planning to drive straight through to home - so they are still on the road, but might (if they are nuts) check in later tonight.

Deb and I got back at 7.00pm. We had a really good run through in her LEXUS!!!!! GPS made navigating a doddle and that is one comfortable car!

Will the post Getaway (That would be a "Gotaway", right? As in "Gotaway with words, and music besides") also be done up in full costume?

Will the flamin" phlegm-in-gos have to stand outside stock still in the cold to make it look like a trailer park?

Or will the ostriches be ostrich-sized and have to stand the watch themselves? ("Sure, I can see everything with my head buried down here! Why do you ask? Ear-to-the ground and all that.....")

Some have said that the cowboys "MADE their Getaway" (Much like Frank & Jesse made theirs, I suppose)

On the other hoof (or wing?), others have asked "Is it true that aged children should be herded and not seen?"

I'll make it to a singaround someday, but while I'm back at the post office "pushing the envelope", I hope you all have a good time up there and that the pictures from there will be just as damaging as the ones from down here.

OK Dave.
We're back. No terrorizing of service areas but I did make a friend at a toll booth.
Take-out food and bed.
More tomorrow.

Sinsull-

We'll bring a Greek pizza if that would be OK. We assume things will be starting around 6 pm? Is this house concert format, open session, or some combination of the two?

Steak and kidney pudding coming with us - real English delicacy.

Open format. We seem to get more music that way. I will intervene to allow some of the quieter folks to participate.

Greek Pizza sounds fine. I am so tired right now that you'll be lucky if I manage a bag of chips.

Loverly, Jacqui. Looking forward to it.

We just don't get those great tine of steak and kidney "stew" here in the states, so puds and pies are a bit dodgy.

My grandmother used to do a steak and kidney thingie - and I'v tried a couple of times to duplicate it - her kidneys were tender and tasty - mine were like rubber and nasty tasting. What's the trick?

Leo - you need to fry the kidneys gently for a couple of minuets before stewing them along with the steak - again, slow and long.

Come to Maine - I'll make a special pudding in your honour.

There's a slight chance I might be able to make it but I'd be late & would surely miss the pot luck. I could bring the liver.
