03 May 07 - 11:31 AM (#2042329) Subject: RE: Woodchuck's Revenge house concert From: jacqui.c I'm pretty certain that we can be fairly fluid with the time of the start of the 'Chucks' performance, so if we have a number of people who can't get there until a little later, maybe we can start a little later. We can always get started with a song circle. |

I'm judging the likelihood of me having a non-existant energy level through red eyes and a truly biblical level of snot. I'm on the 9th day of this cold and starting to get better, though. I shall be there. Barry, I'm not going to 'hold onto' either my bowels OR my kidneys! It would be messy, for one thing. Plus, I don't think bowel-grabbing is something that is in public. (Mary, I can tell you that based on mooching coffee off them at Old Songs for a few years, you should let Tom make it and those who need to can add water.) |

20 May 07 - 11:51 AM (#2057041) Subject: RE: Woodchuck's Revenge house concert-May 19-Maine From: Charley Noble I can report that Jeri did at least make it to the Woodchuck's Revenge House Concert, and it was a wonderful dinner and concert. I was delighted to hear a couple of favorite Si Kahn songs: Wild Rose of the Mountain and Aragon Mill. Then there were the outrageous parodies of Fox on the Run and Roseville Fair. There were also haunting ballads such as the one about the dance hall singer and the down and out cowboy; what's that one called? I know I've heard someone else sing it but I just can't put it together. There was a long lost Utah Phillips song and a whole lot more. I don't think they did a single woodchuck song, which is my one disappointment for the evening. After our marathon driving, singing for three hours at the Press Room with the shanty swappers, we didn't have the energy to hang out afterwards for more singing. But we went away with two new CD's. Any other survivors with reports? Thanks to Mary for hosting another special event, and to Jacqui for coordinating the food. Cheerily, Charley Noble and JudyB |

20 May 07 - 04:51 PM (#2057159) Subject: RE: Woodchuck's Revenge house concert-May 19-Maine From: jacqui.c They did do Gunfighter Eyes, which is one of their own and very good it was too. I'm now waiting for the words to 'Two Below' and one or two others that really got me. the 'Chucks are definitely very good fun and gave a great evening's entertainment. Sandy's granddaughter shows great promise as a folkie with a lovely voice and an obvious interest in the music. It was a treat to hear her sing. |

20 May 07 - 06:29 PM (#2057227) Subject: RE: Woodchuck's Revenge house concert-May 19-Maine From: SINSULL I had fun. The 'Chucks and family arrived early and we shared some champagne and snacks while swapping stories. A "new" Maine story is in the works - "MaMa and the Last Longed-haired Maine Squirrel". All my requests were performed. "Gunfighter Eyes" is a favorite. If you don't know it, buy a CD. "Zucchini" was hilarious. Brought back memories of my sister-in-law dropping off bags of the insidious vegetable on neighbors' porchesd at midnight. AND...Sandy brought his banjo. Poor man had to perform with me drooling in row 2. I thoroughly enjoyed last night. Nice to have Rebecca here. Now if the Kitchen Fairy would only come and make the mess go away. Thank you Woodchucks! Mary PS Strange but true. Less alcohol was consumed last night than any other concert or song circle before. I have enough beer and wine as well as the hard stuff for another party. M |

I'm going to have to re-learn some songs I used to know and find some new ones - maybe some I can play on guitar. The post concert singing was a bit thin, but I was tired and assume others were too. We all folded sometime around 2-something. It was a good time with good music, food and friends. Thanks for making it happen, Mary. |

I'd like to thank everyone for their enthusiasm and hospitality, and for being so supportive of my granddaughter, who also had a great time.
