Jeri's quite right. Last night's session was certainly among the very best we've had. All were in fine voice and the songs flowed from the barrel.

In addition to Danny Spooner, we had songs from other festival performers April Grant, Bruce MacIntyre, Dave Hallowell and Jeff Warner, Mudcatters Jeri, Barry Finn, Bat Goddess and yrs truly, not to mention Barbara Benn, Jean Pauly-Jennings, and Pamela from Albany (last names often take a while to register in my brain) and tunes deftly squeezed out by Paul Semprini and Joe, a first timer at one of the sessions.

Heed Jeri's advice and get on the road. "Ports of Call" starts at 3:00 at the Rockingham Ballroom, the singaround at 4:00 at the Press Room and the concert at the North Church is at 8:00.

And we do really miss our Maine friends -- Tom
