Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: Charley Noble Date: 08 Nov 06 - 10:08 PM Barry- Maybe we could send a shanty team to assist the oral surgeon? All together now! Haul 'er away! But, perhaps, it's better to just extend my condolences to your growng son. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 08 Nov 06 - 10:19 PM Sorry Barry. Oral surgery sucks. SINS |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: Amos Date: 08 Nov 06 - 10:39 PM Just got back from Mexico where I had two titanium risers screwed into the back of my jaw. Aside from feeling like Rocky Balboa's foil, I am fine, but I sympathize with oral surgerees all over the country. Anyway, Sins, that's why I wasn't ther, too. A |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: Charley Noble Date: 09 Nov 06 - 09:19 AM Are Andrew and Carole now in residence? I was fearing that they might have got washed out to sea coming up to Maine from Boston yesterday afternoon. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 09 Nov 06 - 09:21 AM They are still abed after dinner at Bugaboo Creek and wine and talk at home. |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: Bat Goddess Date: 09 Nov 06 - 12:09 PM Hey Carole & Andrew! Really wish Tom and I would be able to get to see you this trip -- so near and yet so far. Carole, make sure Sinsull remembers to give you a new pair of wearable moose attire that I left for you at her place a couple weeks ago. Hugs! Linn |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 09 Nov 06 - 08:17 PM Where's NH Dave? Hope all is OK. See you Friday? SINS |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: Amos Date: 09 Nov 06 - 08:40 PM SInsull -- New Hampshire is just a bit to the left of you -- don't blink... A |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 10 Nov 06 - 01:51 AM Dave didn't make it. Everyone else has left or gone to bed. I am so tired but too tired to sleep. Wonderful music; great friends; magic moments. Phone call to gnu; phone call from Leadfingers. Plans for next year. And to bed. SINS |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: Bat Goddess Date: 10 Nov 06 - 07:47 AM Survivors to The Press Room tonight? Carole and Andrew, please have a safe and uneventful trip home -- keep your toes warm. Linn |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: jacqui.c Date: 10 Nov 06 - 08:10 AM My head's still reeling from the combination of the music and the falling down water. Tami surpassed herself with her songs, alone and in duet with Deborah. Mexicali Rose is working like a dreeam to keep the music flowing and Andrew's own compositions made a major impression on everybody present - that man can write! We have a reprise tomorrow night, sadly without Carole and Andrew. Must get some rest sometime - the Getaway seems to last longer and longer as the years go by! |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: Micca Date: 10 Nov 06 - 08:27 AM Sitting at the screen at8.30 on Friday morning my head is still full of the music too, I echo what Jacqui says above, That McKay is a writer and a half, he has a batch of songs I wish I had written, and that iS the highest compliment a songwriter can pay another. Songs last night were, as ususal, a mixture of serious and silly, but enjoyable for all that, and well done Ranger and Debora for your duetting, I think we can say that you guys are developing a "repetoire" |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: kendall Date: 10 Nov 06 - 08:53 AM I really enjoyed the evening. I looked around and realized the room was full of Brits! (don't mention the war...) The food was outstanding, the curry was with me all night,GOOD THOUGH! |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: Charley Noble Date: 10 Nov 06 - 11:10 AM Another excellent evening of singing. Thanks for hosting these house parties, Sinsull! However, in the future I'm going to avoid shifting from ale to champaine and back to ale. The curry was, indeed, excellent. Judy and I had great fun in the afternoon showing Andrew and Carole around the Portland area. The weather couldn't have been better, bright and sunny in the mid sixties, and the waves out at Portland Head Light, lingering after the previous night's storm, were simply fantastic. Driving back to the Portland Waterfront I was able to find my usual free parking space in front of J's Oyster House, and we then paid a brief visit to Harbor Fish Co. to admire their tasteful displays of fresh food from the sea, and their tanks teeming with lively lobsters. We also paid homage to the Portland Observatory, a timber-framed octagonal tower high on Munjoy Hill built in 1807 to keep track of USO's, unidentified sailing objects. We stepped into China Sea Marine Trading Co. to admire their collection of fine nautical antiques and other miscellaneous bric-a-brac; Andrew and Carole added to their "fid" collection. We then adjourned to Gritty MacDuff's for contemplation of Black Fly Stout and Best Brown, along with a plate of Cajun sweet potato fries. We're looking forward to Saturday but are grateful that we have Friday to recharge batteries. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: NH Dave Date: 10 Nov 06 - 11:14 AM Sins, I emailed you directly around 4:00 on Friday, saying that I wasn't feeling well, and would not be able to make it. As things turned out, this was a good decision, and I will try to be up this Saturday. Dave |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 10 Nov 06 - 01:21 PM No problem, Dave. Hope you can make it tomorrow. SINS |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: GUEST,KT Date: 10 Nov 06 - 02:34 PM Hey, Sins, and all, wouldn't it be great if someone recorded some of the music from this event tonight??? Huh? Wouldn't that be GREAT? Huh? I think it would be GREAT! And then, someone could make me a copy, and then.... KT |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: kendall Date: 10 Nov 06 - 04:14 PM With or without 10 cuts of Mexacali Rose? |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: Tinker Date: 10 Nov 06 - 05:49 PM With of course if you want the full flavor of the event you need to know where the giggles are coming from.... I'd like one to pretty please... |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: KT Date: 10 Nov 06 - 08:51 PM Well, I've never had the pleasure of hearing "Mexicali Rose" so I s'pose ten cuts would be just fine with me. Hope Your all having a grand time! KT |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: Severn Date: 10 Nov 06 - 09:00 PM Mexicali Rose From The Grave 10 times? And that won't even be the enhanced reissue with the onus cuts added. I'll take one. |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 10 Nov 06 - 09:28 PM My well bred guests all disappeared today and gave me an afternoon of peace and quiet. Ready to go again now. Mexicali Rose stop cryyyyyyyyiiiiiiing... |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: GUEST,Uncle Jaque Date: 10 Nov 06 - 09:49 PM Glad to see you're still at it; been a while since Aunt Mahtha & me wuz down t' one o' these things, & would love to do it again sometime. Since then, we moved from Yarmouth up here to Monmouth (sort of halfway between Augusta and Lewiston) at the end of Sept., and our Daughter produced our first Granddaughter, Anabeth Avery, via C-section (the kid was, per family tradition, bass-akwards) on Oct. 30. Cute lil' critter, too. If she takes after her Maw, she'll be a singer for sure. I'd forgotten what a pain in the arse moving was - but sure got a rude reminder on this one, after almost 30 years in the yarmouth digs. Spend most of my time looking for stuff, then doing without when I caint find it. Havn't even had my guitar out of the case for over a month now. Was going to march in the Portland parade tomorrow with the 3rd Maine, but vascular issues in feet from Korea '68 have been acting up and marching on asphalt followed by an hour or two of standing around listening to obligatory bloviations would do them no good. Besides, I've forgotten about half of our fife repitoire, and can't find my darned music book to brush up with. The VA up here at TOGUS is doing right well by me, Jeri; it's possibly the best thing our gub'mint ever come up with for us. Amazing. The only hassle I've got now is all the paperwork and falderall involved in applying for disability rating - I need to buy a copier to back up all the documents that have a way of getting "lost". Do any of you know if there are any folkie things - jams, sessions, whathaveyou going on up this way? I'd kinda like to get back into it if I could. Looks like my civilwar so'jerin' days are about played out. As you know, I'm mos'ly into the old stuff - early to mid 19th Century for the mos' part. It's sure to be a hoot at Sins' Sat night, and I'll be missin' ye; kind regards and warm fuzzy feelin's tae ye all! |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: maeve Date: 11 Nov 06 - 08:21 AM Hi, all. Thursday's gathering sounded wonderful! I wish I could be there tonight, but no such luck. Please remember me when you start up the song circles again, Mary. I'll be looking forward to joining you. Hi to Kendall and Jacqui. Meanwhile, make a joyful noise tonight. maeve |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: jacqui.c Date: 11 Nov 06 - 09:03 AM We are hoping that there will be a song circle at Deborah's house on December 9th. WE thought that it would be good to have a pre-Christmas session to get all those seasonal songs out of the system. (And to let Kendall cry "Bah, Humbug!") :0) Further details to follow. |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: Barry Finn Date: 11 Nov 06 - 02:54 PM Hi Mary & ALL A good surprize for me, Gabe's mouth will be covered by Justine eye so I'm breaking out. Can you or anyone else PM or e-mail me with Mary's address & tel #(in case I get lost). I'll be heading to Maine in a few hours. & what can I bring along, I don't want to be walking in as te only person with one arm as long as the other. (e-mail finfam4atcomcastdotnet) THANKS Barry |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: jacqui.c Date: 11 Nov 06 - 03:34 PM Just PM'd Barry with the details. What great news! |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: Barry Finn Date: 11 Nov 06 - 03:48 PM Thanks Luv See ya there. Barry |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 11 Nov 06 - 04:19 PM WHOO WHOO! |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: jacqui.c Date: 12 Nov 06 - 11:34 AM What a rowdy evening! It was so good to see Barry there and he gave us good reason to celebrate his presence with some terrific songs. Micca did the third part of his Fiorst World War trilogy and there were a number of other songs from the floor to mark November 11. Kendall was back to picking and telling stories, when we could get the rest of the crew to shut up. We went back for breakfast this morning only to find that Mary was still abed. After a lot of searching we managed to find the makings for coffee and breakfast and Ms Mary was even given a cup of coffee in bed by Jeri, who was the only one brave (or foolish) enough to take it to her. That was Kendall's idea but he demurred to enter her bedroom! It was worth the effort as the lady in question joined the throng with a smile on her face, having been fortified by the infusion of beans. Next song circle will be on 9 December at Deborah's house. PM me for directions if needed. Get your Christmas offerings ready! |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: Charley Noble Date: 12 Nov 06 - 11:40 AM Barry did arrive safely, as well as a host of other folks. Judy and I got in about 7 pm with the singing already in progress (retrogress?). There were fine traditional songs, outrageous parodies, bawdy songs, oldies but goodies, and totally incomprehensible songs. When we left about 1 pm, things were winding down to the incomprehensible but who knows if there wasn't another burst of energy after we safely exited. I'm thinking this morning (safe at home) that some of these folks are going to be experiencing (are experiencing?) serious Post-Getaway Re-Entry Stress (PGRES). After all, why would anyone want to do anything else other than sit around with a group of friends and sing songs all night, graze at the bountiful buffet, and sip various fermented fluids? Grateful thanks to Sinsull for hosting this gathering. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 12 Nov 06 - 11:56 AM This was an exceptional evening. Thank you all for wonderful music and recitations. Thank you Jeri for coffee in bed. Micca is off with Linn and Tom. The house is empty. Now I go into post-Getaway slump. I think I will go and burn the lyrics to Mexicali Rose. SINS |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: Bat Goddess Date: 12 Nov 06 - 03:40 PM Lovely evening! Lovely drive home today (in nuisance rain, then pelting rain -- good conversation, though!). Sorry, I've been here (in this thread) for about 15 minutes, but been too busy comparing mystery series, favorite authors, good sources for books, etcet etcet with Micca, while my computer twiddled its thumbs. Pity Mary didn't burn the words to "Mexicali Rose" yesterday... Linn |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 12 Nov 06 - 11:36 PM It served a purpose, Linn. More music/Less talk. Now go check the BS thread about bones. We need answers. |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: GUEST,Micca in NH Date: 13 Nov 06 - 09:41 AM Well, all I can say is what a cracking evening, in the best of company with a wonderful range of songs and a few stories, several rememberance songs for the day . There were some guesses as to who exactly I had in mind and am refferingi to in "The Shantyman whose never been to sea" mostly wrong, which I intend to publish here as soon as I get back to UK my heartfelt thanks to all who took part ina most enjoyable even and to Blessed mary for hosting it . You folks are just Magic |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: Micca Date: 13 Nov 06 - 12:16 PM I mean I will publish the song NOT the guesses when I get home!!! sorry ,pre coffee be fuddlement in the above post |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: MMario Date: 13 Nov 06 - 12:19 PM why not do both? Or at least the *WRONG* guesses... |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: Micca Date: 13 Nov 06 - 12:28 PM MMario, it could be embarrassing , as some of the guesses suggested a n element of spite and d suggested that the shanty singing of some well respected singers was rather less than "authentic"And I have NO wish to throw petrol on that fire , thank you very much |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: Micca Date: 13 Nov 06 - 12:35 PM Uncle Jacque, I passed a Message of greeting and asked to be remembered to you to one of your band colleagues in 3rd Maine at the Veterans day parade, may I complement them and you on their smart turnout and the precision of their drill? i have some photos of the m and the "firing of the volley" if they are of any interest to you or them PM me when I get back to London , after next w/e and I wil send copies to any e-mail ad |
Subject: RE: Post Getaway at SINSULL's From: Charley Noble Date: 13 Nov 06 - 05:47 PM Micca- It was a pleasure to encounter you again on this side of the Great Pond. Best of luck on the long flight home. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
