Oh, hear hear, Bob. I heard a few songs this weekend that I really need to know. Wonderul music, all of it, but some that really touched me. And one problem (if you could call it that) is that so often there was not enough time after a workshop to go talk with a person to learn more about them/their song/their music.

There was some especially wonderful stuff I heard from folks I DON'T know, and I was wondering how people feel about sharing recordings? The gospel session especially seemed to be worth preserving ;) and not just for my own posterity.

And, speaking of posterity... I was NOT going to bring it up, but since you did first, Moonchild, and Roger seconded it, I WILL tell everyone how lost and forlorn you looked walking across the clearing toward us in your jammies with your ditty bag under your arm saying, "shower? Is there a hot shower? WHERE?"

I still haven't had time to process all my thoughts about meeting you all, and impressions of the warm people behind these blue labels. Whew.

Some quick impressions:

Barry's fabulous voice filling the hall with his own powerful music.

Rogers harmonies are beautiful! and he can tear up a raunch song better than anyone I'VE ever heard. Baking powder, indeed ;)

Moonchild and AllanC are like peanut butter and jelly, folks. Their voices are lovely together.

Joe just IS a camper. A person would feel like they were camping in his presence even if having dinner at the Waldorf Astoria. That infectious sense of fun is such a gift.

What else? So much else.... after I put my laundry in the dryer for the third time.
