Hey, it wasn't THAT small a group! The harmonies were incredible.

Let's see, Barbara Benn was there for the earlier part (she had an event at Strawbery Banke Museum to cover), Brian Marston, Barry Finn, Brian Hoye, Dave Halliwell, Jeri, and MMario who got the prize for coming the furthest for the session. Tom and me, of course. Then Kevin Scanlon, Alan Eaton and Ramona Connelly showed up after Barbara had to leave. Am I forgetting anyone?

Roll and Go and Kendall had a gig (capitalism rears its ugly head ;-) ), Mark and Barbara are marrying off one of the kids, Bruce MacIntyre is recovering from surgery, and I think gigs were responsible for a few more absences. I won't know for sure until they submit notes from their mothers.

The harmonies were AWESOME! (Not a word I often use in the colloquial sense -- and I DO mean "inspiring awe".) Some wonderful material new to the session, too. And the listeners were exceptionally pleased that they finally came to one of the Saturday sessions instead of just the Friday sessions -- they could actually HEAR all the words, harmonies, and the discussions that followed about the songs' sources, histories, etc.

Other than the fact that my tape recorder had the "pause" button inadvertently on for the first go-round (so I haven't a clue as to how I sounded on "Sloop John A", Charley), I think it was a great session!

Thanks, everybody, for making it so!
