Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: jacqui.c Date: 13 Oct 09 - 09:53 AM Amos - thanks so much for all these wonderful reminders of the weekend. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Charley Noble Date: 13 Oct 09 - 12:54 PM Amos- I believe there is a typo in your date for Barry Finn singing "Salonika"; it appears to be "2009" rather than "2008." It's either that or Barry and Big Mick don't bother changing their clothes from one year to another. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Amos Date: 13 Oct 09 - 01:11 PM Big Mick did not attend the 2009 Getaway, Charlie--and "Salonika" was not among my clips. I believe the recording of "Salonika" was uploaded by Genie using the rubric WildeNotesMusic from the 2008 Getaway, as labeled, but uploaded in mid-2009. A |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: My guru always said Date: 13 Oct 09 - 03:59 PM Well, I've been itching to add my thanks to FSGW for holding the Getaway and the fantastic welcome that Richard and I received from you wonderful Folks!!! So sorry for the delay, although we got back home on the 7th, we were pretty jet-lagged and had a quick turnaround to get to Banbury Festival on Friday. Got home again late on Sunday, worked yesterday & today and I'm just starting to catch up with stuff. We had an unforgettable time meeting so many good new friends, hearing so much great music and song. There's no way that we could list our high points, the whole weekend was magical and full of 'tingly' moments. I missed saying goodbye to so many people, but I've a feeling that I didn't get to meet and hug everyone properly either, time passed in such a blur! Huge thanks to Nancy for giving me the chance to sing some songs and to all the FSGW committee and all the willing volunteers who helped to organise and make the weekend work so well. Singing with Claire was wonderful, and the 5 minute workshop was great fun too - special thanks to Charlie for allowing me to get that Girlie Act together at the Sunday concert. There are a few people who have my homespun CD, so if you'd like to have a copy burnt or if anyone wants words of any of the songs I sang just PM me! Many thanks for all your kind words, you've made me blush *grin* Amos, your video downloads are just wonderful, thank you so much for the time and trouble you've taken to share those memories! Whenever I get a minute I'm getting caught up on all the stuff I missed! Richard did lots of videoing, but at the moment we can't download to the PC, only to the DVD recorder & burn DVD from there - I think the PC firewire is *$*!! Does anyone know if DVD's burnt in the UK can be played on US machines?? I'm not a techie, so please don't blind me with science.... Everyone's encouragement of Richard's singing has given him much more confidence and inspired him to put his name down for the concerts. I really hope he will continue now that we're back in the UK - but you'll be welcome anytime kendall, your kind words have meant so much to Richard! Lovely to meet you all, it would be wonderful if we could Get-away again one day. Should any of you get across this side of the pond, please PM me, we'd love for you to visit!! Hil & Richard |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Charley Noble Date: 13 Oct 09 - 04:09 PM Amos- I was wondering why there was someone that looked like me in one of the images, when I was safe in Maine! Genie- Nice video of Barry singing from 2008! Cheerily, Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: jacqui.c Date: 13 Oct 09 - 05:08 PM Hils - I think that you can play them here but Micca may be able to transfer to the net when he gets back, or you can send me a copy and I'll try and upload. See you in December! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Songbob Date: 13 Oct 09 - 11:13 PM Among all these recordings, did anyone record Pete Kraemer and me doing our number in the evening concert? Since the arrangement was pretty much made up on the spot, I'm wondering if it worked or not. Bob Clayton |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Amos Date: 14 Oct 09 - 09:26 PM Well, folks, that's all I have in good enough shape to make public. Anyone else who has some, by all means let us see them!!! A |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Joe Offer Date: 15 Oct 09 - 12:00 AM Say, did the dog get banished from the Getaway? I thought it was a bit cheeky to bring a dog along, but everybody seemed to like him. But then he vanished from sight. -Joe- |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: kendall Date: 15 Oct 09 - 07:11 AM I love dogs but the barking was a bit much. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: beardedbruce Date: 15 Oct 09 - 07:27 AM I have to defend the dog- he was just singing along. Not everyone can carry a tune. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: GUEST,Dani Date: 15 Oct 09 - 10:23 AM I was surprised to see a dog, too, but he seemed well-behaved and pleasant. I liked how he made himself @ home curled up and snoozing in the center of the circle Friday night, moving only to accommodate the waltzers : ) Dani |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Amos Date: 15 Oct 09 - 12:01 PM Ahhhh....the waltzing!! One of the high points!! I was only disappointed to be cut in on by one who was so much more talented at it than I am. That Ingerson feller is a real hottie, ya know... A |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Nancy King Date: 15 Oct 09 - 12:42 PM I too was surprised to see the dog. Don't know whose pet he was. Always in the past (at previous camps) pets have been specifically prohibited. I don't see anything on West River's web site about pets, so I don't know what their official policy is. This dog was reasonably well-behaved (though there were a few barking instances), but I would have been happier not to have him there. I guess it was his sniffing around the late-night snack tables that made me uncomfortable... |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Bill D Date: 15 Oct 09 - 01:02 PM In general, dogs are not a good idea at events like this...too many ways things can go wrong. And if they are allowed, it is only a matter of time until the wrong one arrives...or TWO who don't like each other. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Amos Date: 15 Oct 09 - 01:03 PM HE was a fine looking dog, and well-mannered and hospitable. I would not have banned him, myself, unless it was a Methodist requirement. A |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Genie Date: 19 Oct 09 - 12:41 PM Well, it seems a lot of old sea dogs have been allowed at the Getaway for years. To ban the landlubber dogs, is that ethnic discrimination? Oh, and, Amos, word around these parts (Pac NW) is that that Ingerson feller is a dancin' fool (and so is his wife Kathleen). Genie |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Bill D Date: 19 Oct 09 - 03:18 PM DOG?? Some of the Methodist staff was dyslexic, and thought.... |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Lonesome EJ Date: 19 Oct 09 - 03:27 PM Well, Bill, if that's the case God could use a good bath. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: kendall Date: 19 Oct 09 - 03:56 PM Waltzing? there was waltzing? I didn't know about that. sniff. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Bill D Date: 19 Oct 09 - 04:08 PM A bath?...naawww...that's Baptist theology... |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Lonesome EJ Date: 19 Oct 09 - 06:16 PM As I went down to the river to bathe my old retriever Dave and he shall wear a soapy gown Good Lord, he don't behave Oh, Children hold him still Keep him still, I want to keep him still Oh children hold him still Or the suds o'er me he'll shake |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: jacqui.c Date: 19 Oct 09 - 07:12 PM Waltzing? there was waltzing? I didn't know about that. sniff. You went to bed too early. The waltzing took place in Peace cabin at the late night sing on Friday night. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Bill D Date: 19 Oct 09 - 07:22 PM LOL, Leej... quick AND good! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Severn Date: 19 Oct 09 - 08:01 PM Phil Fox, a Getaway first timer, supplied the dog. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Richard Atkins Date: 19 Oct 09 - 08:02 PM Jaqui video of Waltzing was taken by me, you will see it when you visit us. I ask if i can video first, anything else stays with me. A special moment for me was giving Barry Finn a hug when he arrived in the early hours.I dont do that but so glad i did! A woderful Getaway thats unique |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Genie Date: 19 Oct 09 - 08:26 PM A Fox brought a dog to Getaway? That's so special! |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: CET Date: 19 Oct 09 - 08:33 PM I have to admit that it never occurred to me to question the presence of the dog. He was quite an ornament to the Peace Cabin sessions, and a few barks during the concerts didn't bother me. I can see Bill D's point, however. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Amos Date: 19 Oct 09 - 11:45 PM Kendall: Just to rub it in, I began the waltzing with KT, no less. If it hadn't abeen for Ingerson I'd have waltzed her to Texas or sompn, I swan...She dances so nicely. LOL! A |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Genie Date: 20 Oct 09 - 01:12 AM Yeah, Amos, but did ya get to waltz with BOBERT?? |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: kendall Date: 20 Oct 09 - 07:45 AM SNIFF |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Bobert Date: 20 Oct 09 - 08:43 AM I don't recall waltzin' with Amos, Genie, but I might have... But, no, I didn't waltz with KT... She was still mad at me from 3 years ago, I reckon... I donno??? |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Amos Date: 20 Oct 09 - 09:14 AM Bobert? Bobert's got two left feet. A |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Severn Date: 20 Oct 09 - 10:26 AM And I have two feet left, but they dance in the same manner...... |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Dan Schatz Date: 20 Oct 09 - 11:17 AM I thought the dog's rattling chain was a bit distracting during the workshops, but since I brought my own distraction (albeit a human one) I wasn't sure I had the right to complain. Some people do have allergies, though, and don't come to the Getaway expecting to be confronted with them. Dan |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2009 - other stuff than programming From: Bill D Date: 20 Oct 09 - 12:12 PM HA! *I* waltzed with KT in the back of the room during the concert...(or what passed for waltzing, since that's only about the 4th time I ever pretended to waltz with anyone.) With KT, even my inexperienced feet surpassed themselves and I avoided looking totally foolish. (Thanks KT) |
