Bill, Why are we just hearing about this now. If you are going to be at Guy's on Thursday I'll try to get up there for a couple of hours. I'll PM Guy for directions. I'm only about an hour away from Litchfield. Would love to meet your wife. I'm coming to England at the end of March through the middle of April. Will you be home by then? Hope to see you Thurs.

Finally, a quiet moment when we can check in! Bill and Lorna are still slumbering sweetly upstairs. We have had a marvelous visit. Guy drove them all the way up to my home in rural NH on Sunday night, it was great to see the two and only, and wonderful to meet Guy and his sweet daughter Elizabeth. Good music abounded.

Yesterday (Monday) we investigated the music stores in Keene; believe it or not, Bill bought another banjo! He'll tell you about it; all I know is it was a "find" for him and he's delighted with it. We then had lunch and did some jamming at the home of a friend of mine. It was so balmy for about an hour that we ate outside in the sunshine!

Last night Bill and Lorna delighted the holiday crowd at the Nelson contra dance by dancing (Lorna) and calling (Bill). Bill's dance was OXO, named after the soup cubes. It was a dance the crowd had never done before and they loved it!

Now they're sleeping the sleep of the just plain tired before going off this morning to get a rental car and head west to bbc's.

On Friday they fly to LA for a one-day stopover before heading to warmer climes- Hawaii, OZ, NZ, Singapore.

It has been wonderful and a blessing indeed to end this year with such dear friends.
Bill said last night that he'd post from bbc's.

Stay tuned...

Bill found some great banjos and if he found one nicer then the Gretch I saw him open up at Allison's .Well ... he's sleeping on the floor when he gets back here. Hold on, thier sleeping on the floor anyway.
       I just talked to Dick G who is comming over on New Years day and he may bring along the Patons . Now if Jerry R found his way here or Barbara S on the shore that would be amazing. Now if Rye Cooder or Martin Carthy happen to be around they would be welcome as well.

Hi, folks,

Bill & Lorna arrived here yesterday at about 4:15 pm. We had a good chat & a cup of tea, checked Mudcat, & headed out to meet Patons at a Chinese restaurant for dinner. Had a lovely time & then went back to their house for good conversation & a little music. Back to my house for the night, at about 3 am! Got up this am at about 11 & went to a local diner for what I guess we'd need to call brunch. Bill had a yearning for pancakes & American bacon! Back to the house for pictures, directions to Guy's & packing up. I sent them out at about 2:45 pm & gave Guy a call to say that they were on their way. No finer company than the Sables. Allison, Guy, & I are so pleased that you took the time to include us on your itinerary! Please come back any time! This was Bill's 4th visit w/ me, but his 1st to my new home. He approved! I'll send a few photos to Jeff for Mudcat events.

best,

bbc in NY

HAPY NEW YEAR !!!
         I cant beleave Bill Found that Bacon & Day with such a classie old sound.Dont get me wrong I love B&D's but this one is so warm at realy realy fits Bill to a Tea ( we drank lots of it ) . It has a very nice older calf skin head. Bill said on the Little wonder he hits the strings further back ( nearer the bridge ) but with both the Gretch and the Bacons he is playing closer to the neck. I think thats the sighn of a brighter instroment . Go have a look at the photo of this great banjo ( oh yes and three very nice people)
          Bill and I got into some wonderful music last night but I was realy touched when we pulled out the banjo-lalelys and Bill started down the George Farnby (sp?) road.Very much fun and touching as well. He had never heard the intro to "Shine on harvest moon" so I had something for him .
         Lots of great conversation and realy nice interaction with my kids .
          I'll get Bill up to my attic to give you his picture of all this as soon as hes up. Erica and Lorna are laughing away at something at the moment .More soon . All the best , Guy

Well I must say the Sables are the easiest guests we've ever had. We had a wonderful get together last night With Dick and Susan. Great music all around. Dick got me playing my frettless tuned very low . It must have been almost down around D but with the intervels we all use in G tuning. The instroment sounds great like that.
             I dont know wich of these two men knew more great old tunes. HEAVEN .. Also Bill had a tuner that stuck on the peghead that worked every time. I ordered one before he left I liked it so much.
             We took care of cars and bags and all that stuff this morning and they sailed off into the sunset on connecticut Limo at 12:45 with hugs all around . I dont think I can wait all the way till Witby in August to do more of this. !!! Thanks for the visit Bill and Lorna and see you real soon wink wink say no more say no more !!    <>    !!!

We are home again We arrived on Wednesday to snow and ice and found out that we were new grandparents. I notice everyone is congratulating Andrew my son but he had nothing to do with it. It was my daughter Catherine and her husband Jason who had the new baby. She was born when we were in Singapore on January 23rd and weighed in at 7 lbs. They are calling her Amber. Thanks to every one we met up with it made our trip very memorable.
Cheers Bill and Lorna
