No time for a festival wrap-up right now -- gotta head out the door to work, but . . .

Among the wonderful musical experiences of the weekend, one thing stood out for me, at least -- it's right up there in my own personal highlights smack next to having Louis Killen sing harmony on my "Fathom the Bowl"

Happened at the singaround at Jack Quigley's Pub. You know how when harmonies work, they REALLY work -- something magical or akin to a chemical reaction occurs and and energy is produced out of thin air. Well, Barbara Benn and Pamela Goddard started singing "Row On, Row On" in close harmony . . . in just the right key, etc. I chimed in on the choruses with a third harmony and we achieved harmonic critical mass. I'm not totally sure, I'll have to ask around, but I think for a moment there, every molecule in the universe quivered.

The music was amazing. Danny Spooner, Cindy Kallet and all the other performers gave the crowd in the heart of Portsmouth a real treat -- and we had glorious weather to boot. Not a single cloud in the sky. On the way home the full moon (or close to full moon) rose in a blue and lavender sky behind us.

An amazing weekend. More later.
