Subject: RE: Straw Bear Festival Whittlesey 2004
Aha, you were there too were you, Greg? Didn't see you but I did say hello to Mary & Anahata briefly.
Had a good music session in the Bricklayers on Friday night, which eventually turned into a song session. (I believe there was a similarly good session there on Saturday night too but I was at the singaround session at the Boat with Derek & Mary).
During the day on Saturday I communed with the Bear, playing for it in all three processions, and also chatted to loads of morris/molly dancing friends. Wonderful!
Sunday was good too, playing with the band as part of the entertainment in the college hall and then finally at the burning of the Bear.
Another Straw Bear over ...
