Naem: Kendall can probably teach you how to do it right, and avoid aquiring any of my bad habits, but I'll be glad to pick "my" version of "Lorena" for ye for comparison's sake Wed.. Not many people know all (6 I think)the verses; I only bother with about 4 of my favorites. Audience attention spans just ain't what they were in the 1850's! It really sounds nice on the gut-strung parlour guitar, but alas mine still awaits my attentions on the bench. Kendall; what, pray tell, did you do on said other thread to so alienate you, and from whom? (not that it's any of my business, but since you mention it I'm curious). That's the sort of stunt I've been pulling with regularity all of my life! Considering the way I am, It's a wonder that I'm still alive at this age! (God DOES have a sense of humor!)
The RAFG will be working late Thurs. nite (9th) till about 2100 if Naem. or any other local Folkies wanna get together to make a joyful noise. I think our freinds (one of whom seems to know Kendall & Co. pretty well) down at Bay Square Assisted Living Community here in Yarmouth (accross the street from the Post Office) would be ameinable to providing an accomidating space, an appreciative, patient and forgiving small audience, and more than likely, a cup of hot tea. Frequently when we visit, the crew on Harbor I (where Mom lives) has a gigerbread or batch of cookies in the oven or cooling off on top, eminating the most delicious of aromas. No promises, but I'll bet that with a day's advance notice somthing lucious could be arranged! (Drop me an e-mail or landline as I don't git in here as oft as before). Another option might be the Brunswick MacBEAN's Jam, but I found that it's a bit cramped in the store, although the talent that shows up there is top-rate.
The past couple of weeks have been pretty nutz, what with getting Mother moved, etc., so havn't even started the brew, and not sure if we can get to it any time soon - so in the unlikely event we can do NH, will have to punt. Naem: sounds like you're pretty well set - I don't need to remind you to bring PLENTY of insulation if camping in NH this time of year. A fair Colleen from the Auld Counterie might enhance the comfort level appreciably, eh Mate? May the luck O' the Irish be wi' ye!
