05 Apr 13 - 07:05 PM (#3499342) Subject: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: SINSULL It's been a while since we have had a house concert and way too long since John graced our fair city. Friday, May 3 Whenever LOL John in concert Hot buffet, beverages, coffee and tea, desserts Some friends we haven't seen in ages and some new acquaintances. I hope we can fill my little house with music and laughter and good company. Who's in? Who needs a bed? SINS |
05 Apr 13 - 08:52 PM (#3499375) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: ranger1 I'm in! Might be able to drag a few more along in my wake. |
05 Apr 13 - 10:09 PM (#3499387) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Charley Noble I'll be there for sure and maybe Judy if the Legislature will let her. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
06 Apr 13 - 04:23 AM (#3499445) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Joe Offer You're letting John Roberts into the Great State of Maine? Don't you have guards at the border to prevent things like that? Well, actually, I'm jealous. I haven't seen John in a while, and I'd sure like to. He's a good guy. I hope y'all enjoy the concert. -Joe- |
06 Apr 13 - 09:12 AM (#3499548) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: DebC Well, Joe, both John and I will be in California in November and I am working on some other opportunities for us. Confirmed is November 16 at the SF Maritime Heritage Park Concert series. Sorry I cannot attend, Mary. I have to collect the other half from the airport that night. It'll be a great evening. Deb |
06 Apr 13 - 09:17 AM (#3499550) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: kendall Of course Jacqui and I will be there. |
06 Apr 13 - 05:44 PM (#3499760) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: SINSULL Several guys from work are threatening to attend. Not sure what they are up to but as long as they don't frighten the horses... |
06 Apr 13 - 08:25 PM (#3499817) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Anglo Special bonus is that I'll be accompanied by Lisa Preston on harp, fiddle & guitar. |
06 Apr 13 - 09:07 PM (#3499829) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: maeve I loved Lisa's music on "Sea Fever" and hope to hear Lisa and John in Sinsull's house of welcomes. |
07 Apr 13 - 06:59 PM (#3500212) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: SINSULL Maeve, It will be wonderful to see you. Too long and my doing. SINS |
09 Apr 13 - 06:03 PM (#3501134) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: ranger1 I let Holly and Sue at the farm know about the concert when I stopped to buy my eggs last night. Sue was definitely interested. Working on Andy, too, he had a great time when he came to see Jed, so hopefully he will come to more house concerts. I also invited my massage therapist and her fiance. |
13 Apr 13 - 04:44 PM (#3502888) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: SINSULL Email out to TRUBRit. So far we have 9 definites and at least 10 maybes. Should be a good evening. SINS |
13 Apr 13 - 05:50 PM (#3502923) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Charley Noble Damn! My mother has an art opening in Belfast that evening from 5:30 to 8 pm, as a benefit for the Maine Farmland Trust. I'll have to miss this one. Charley Noble |
13 Apr 13 - 07:32 PM (#3502962) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Jeri Late to the party: ME!ME!ME!ME!ME! ...and a bed if you have any left, please. |
14 Apr 13 - 11:38 AM (#3503224) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: SINSULL Been a while since we have had to break out the inflatable mattresses. So far we have enough beds. It looks as if the Woodchucks' Revenge will attend and sleep at Kendall and Jacqui's. We will miss you, Charley and Judy.Was that you parked on Preble Street and walking to Monument Square recently? I tapped on the window but you didn't respond - office window I mean. |
14 Apr 13 - 12:26 PM (#3503250) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Midchuck Well, two Woodchucks, anyway (the oldest and the youngest) - likely but not certain. Mike won't be there, so Sins can probably get to bed not much after 1:00 P. |
14 Apr 13 - 07:17 PM (#3503446) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: kendall "We are going to need a bigger boat". |
14 Apr 13 - 07:43 PM (#3503455) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Jeri ...or a smaller shark. I forgot about work, which might interfere. (DAMMIT!) It's supposed to last through May 6th, in which case I'm screwed. The "through" date is usually the worst case scenario, so it probably won't go that long. |
15 Apr 13 - 07:33 AM (#3503621) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: kendall Don't make me come over there. |
15 Apr 13 - 12:46 PM (#3503772) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: GUEST,Cuilionn Thanks to the Ranger for the heads-up... I think The Piper & I can come! We might bring one of our farmhands too. Anybody need any farm goods for special concert delivery? I can bring fresh organic salad mix, eggs, grass-fed ground beef, and/or pork chops! --Cuilionn |
15 Apr 13 - 12:54 PM (#3503782) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: GUEST,SINS Eggs for me please. Mary |

28 Apr 13 - 07:39 PM (#3510070) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: SINSULL Hope we can tighten uo the numbers.

Been a long time since we had to order pizzas. LOL |
28 Apr 13 - 08:37 PM (#3510084) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Midchuck Move the Chucks up to "Definite Unless the S*** Hits the Fan In Some Unspecified Way or if Jacqui says I can only stay there if I sleep in the Cellar." Should be good fun. Are Roberts and Sins gonna put on a fist fight? P. |
28 Apr 13 - 09:37 PM (#3510091) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Jeri I'm hoping my job gets done on time. I'm not even thinking about "early", but hope I'm wrong. I really, really, REALLY don't want to miss this! |
28 Apr 13 - 09:50 PM (#3510094) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: SINSULL Not likely, Peter. Not likely. |
29 Apr 13 - 05:19 AM (#3510154) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: maeve Sins, remember I said I "hope to hear Lisa and John..." It's always hard to know whether I'll be able to join you. Still hoping. Maeve |
29 Apr 13 - 06:18 AM (#3510165) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: ranger1 Maeve, we're still hoping you'll join us, too. Refresh! |
29 Apr 13 - 07:11 AM (#3510175) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: jacqui.c I'm making chilli for the pot luck. Who else can bring stuff for a (possibly) large crowd? |
29 Apr 13 - 07:55 AM (#3510191) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: maeve Jacqui- IF I can make it, I'll bring something. ranger1- Thanks. |
29 Apr 13 - 08:31 AM (#3510203) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: GUEST,SINS Tom and Deb are bringing curry. I am making a smoked sausage casserole. Ice Cream for dessert. Salad, cheese and fruit, crusty bread. We won't go hungry. Heads up. I have just won the early spring battle of the fleas. Please - no pets unless you are willing to pay an exterminator, treat my cats and vacuum, vacuum, vacuum. SINS |
29 Apr 13 - 08:32 AM (#3510204) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: GUEST,SINS Maeve, We will see you SOON! If you don't make it to John and Lisa's concert, then some Saturday SOON. Mary |
29 Apr 13 - 08:47 AM (#3510210) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Bat Goddess Double whammy keeping us away, though Tom and I will both be there in spirit. Tom's not up to travel as far as Portland these days or overnights, so we'll be keeping the session in line at the Press Room. (And Tom will probably be wanting to get home before dark.) PLEASE say 'hi' to John and Lisa for us. And everybody else in the room. Too bad...I've got some photos of John from 1981 at The Press Room that I'd LOVE to show Lisa... Linn |
29 Apr 13 - 08:57 AM (#3510216) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: ranger1 It's a house concert, Mary. I thought the rule was no dogs anyway. |
29 Apr 13 - 09:15 AM (#3510220) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Midchuck Not much we can do about hot dishes when we're coming from afar, but Kris might be persuaded to make cookies, and I can by a cheap case of Malcervesa at New Hampshire prices on the way over. P. |
29 Apr 13 - 09:53 AM (#3510224) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Becca72 I'm really going to try to make this one and if I do I'll certainly bring something...what, I have no idea. :-) |
30 Apr 13 - 12:21 PM (#3510442) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: GUEST,SINS I have to work on Friday so Jacqui will be in charge - oh, dear. Food around 6-6:30; Concert 7-7:30. If parking in the driveway, keep an eye out for Freddie and the turkeys. No road kill will be served. Mary |
30 Apr 13 - 01:00 PM (#3510459) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: ranger1 Jason has promised to make a quiche. If I'm not too tired after work on Thursday, I'll try to make a gluten-free apple crisp. |
30 Apr 13 - 01:35 PM (#3510470) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Bat Goddess Had a stray turkey (just the one, this time) in the driveway when I came home from my class. They always act so surprised... Linn |
30 Apr 13 - 07:13 PM (#3510561) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Midchuck The concert is only half an hour!? P. |
30 Apr 13 - 07:15 PM (#3510562) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: ranger1 No, Peter, it just has a flexible start time :D |
30 Apr 13 - 07:36 PM (#3510565) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: SINSULL Leave it to a lawyer to split hairs...HMMMM If in doubt as to what to contribute, think beer and soft drinks. Lots of wine and water but no beer, hard stuff or sodas. I am so looking forward to en evening with friends and music. SINS |
30 Apr 13 - 07:37 PM (#3510567) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: jacqui.c DOH! Back to the cellah, Petah. That last shot was so corny........ |

30 Apr 13 - 08:56 PM (#3510577) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Midchuck Everyone picks on me for being a lawyer. I'm not, at heart. I'm a folksinger/guitar player who had to practice law in the daytime because he couldn't make any money in his true calling. And now I'm retired from law practice. My license to practice is on "retired" status, so I don't know if I should be called a lawyer or not. At least you guys aren't as mean as the person on another forum who, when I announced my retirement there, replied "A retired lawyer. That's the second best kind!" I actually knew what Sins meant. I just wanted to encourage her to pay more attention to precision in use of language. Instead, I drove her into a fit of Spasmodic Capitalization. I apologize. Peter |
30 Apr 13 - 10:48 PM (#3510585) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Jeri Peter, you may have "retired" but this still seems to be lawyer behavior. (Encouraging SINS to "pay more attention to precision... yada, yada, yada"). I'm quite sure you enjoy telling people you've quit, but I don't believe you've been going to meetings or following the 12 step thing or actually doing anything that shows you really want to recover. The job looks more and more like it might go past the supposed end date, and I'm in a position that doesn't let me take Friday night off. I could possibly make it by 11 PM, but I'm guessing I might miss most of the music. I could swear some, but I'll spare you. |
01 May 13 - 12:53 AM (#3510600) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: ranger1 So Jesus came to visit? Will there be plenty of bread and fishes, too? |
01 May 13 - 12:14 PM (#3510720) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: SINSULL To be precise **$#@(!*** and the horse you rode in on. HARUMPH! Lots of bread and no fishes that I know of. Jesus will have the decency to make his second coming AFTER John and Lisa have done their second set. Not like him to spoil a party. As to Peter: if we did not love him we would not bother to insult him. Not his fault he is/was a lawyer. I believe his parents put him up to it. Jeri - you will be missed.But earning a living has its benefits. Keep in mind there will be breakfast on Saturday so come whenever/if you decide to. SINS |

03 May 13 - 10:14 AM (#3511301) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: SINSULL I have spare toothbrushes and a washing machine for those less prosperous. See you later. |
03 May 13 - 11:24 AM (#3511320) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Micca I cordially Hate you all!!!, I so wish I could be there for this one, as do many more Brits too!! |
03 May 13 - 12:57 PM (#3511358) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: SINSULL Wish you could be here Micca. Should be a special night. M |
03 May 13 - 04:33 PM (#3511422) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: maeve Ms. Maeve sorrowfully sends her regrets. We're flat out busy planting. I am so very sorry to miss you all. Sins, kindly send my warm regards to John. and Lisa. Perhaps I can see them in Camden. |
03 May 13 - 05:19 PM (#3511430) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: ranger1 I'll be bringing Jason and Michael. Jason is bringing quiche, I'll stop for soda or something on the way. |
03 May 13 - 05:23 PM (#3511431) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Cuilionn Looks like it'll be three of us-- The Piper & I plus a farmhand, coming too late for food, but in good time for music. Looking forward to seeing you all tonight! --Cuilionn |
04 May 13 - 08:49 AM (#3511555) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: ranger1 Wishing I didn't have to work this morning and that we could have stayed longer last night. Wonderful concert experienced with good friends. What better way to spend a Friday night? |
04 May 13 - 10:30 AM (#3511579) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Charley Noble Envious! But we also had a good time at Dahlov's art opening at the Maine Farmland Trust Gallery in Belfast last evening. I've posted some images on my Facebook page if anyone is interested. So how about sharing some details about the concert? Charley Noble |
04 May 13 - 08:10 PM (#3511697) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Midchuck A public thank you to Sinsull for putting the evening on; to Anglo and Lisa for a wonderful performance; and to Kendall and Jacqui for once again making us welcome in their home. A great weekend. At least for us. Peter & Kris |
04 May 13 - 08:37 PM (#3511700) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: kendall Damn fine show eh what? The joint was crawling with Brits, which is always refreshing. John and Lisa put on a very fine performance. I made it through the main performance but I faded suddenly and just had to crash. We need to get Woodchuck's Revenge back for as house concert. I still haven't recovered. |
04 May 13 - 09:33 PM (#3511706) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: SINSULL John is on my top five favorite people list along with Peter and Kendall. A wonderful evening of good friends, good food, good music and I came home to it.. Thank you, Jacqui, for making it all work. Funny but after everyone left I thought of all the songs we didn't hear... Patrick Spense, , Catch me if you can, Bringing Nelson Home, Sorry too tired to come up with a list. John was brilliant; Lisa too. Choruses abounded and my neighbor provided a morning serenade. SINS |
05 May 13 - 07:33 AM (#3511782) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: GUEST Just saw them at house concert here, Anne Dodson & Matt Szostak's. Like old times only better. Both amazing musicians, John reminded me of times and songs almost forgotten. How about the harp with sitar voice? |
05 May 13 - 08:16 AM (#3511789) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: maeve May I say I am really tired of not being able to go to concerts? I'm glad all went well at both house concerts. |
05 May 13 - 08:31 AM (#3511793) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Bat Goddess Maeve, I understand completely. We've got entirely different circumstances from yours, but an overnight for Tom right now is just way too complicated. The Press Room session(s) in Portsmouth is about as far from home as we can manage. Linn |
05 May 13 - 08:38 AM (#3511795) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: jacqui.c It was a wonderful concert. John just gets better every time I see him and Lisa is an amazing musician. Maeve and Jeri - you were missed! Saturday morning breakfast was great, particularly when John regaled us with Carrying Nelson Home and The Old Figurehead Carver. |
05 May 13 - 09:17 AM (#3511803) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: ranger1 Mary, John did sing Catch Me If You Can, you even asked him to, lol. |
05 May 13 - 12:44 PM (#3511843) Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: SINSULL My wording was clumsy. I was listing songs I remembered John singing including Patrick Spense and Catch Me If you Can. Just finished orgazing or what passes for organizing my kitchen. I seem to have a pot and a cookie sheet too many. Thank you everyone who attended, contributed, sang along...you made it a wonderful evening for all. SINS |
