These memories will linger with me for a LONG time. I was absolutely overwhelmed. First by the vocal music- the talent and skills of you people is phenomenal. I was bathed in it, immersed in it, drowned in it. Goosebumps on already chill flesh is a new experience for me. And then, by the heart-warming quality of the people I met at every turn.

I do earnestly hope that no one judged me as being non-forthcoming or non-appreciative.. There are several valid reasons for why I didn't sing more: #1, I'm not a performer (although I am profoundly grateful for the people who are); #2, I have a small problem with claustrophobia and crowds in general (I love jams but I'm more comfortable with smaller groups of 5 to 15); #3, I had such a GRAND time just listening and absorbing. Oh, and recording. I pretty much filled up the 5 mini discs I had brought with me. The last one filled up on Sunday evening, so no recording from then on, which I regret. After I have the songs put on CDs I'm going to be busy learning lots of new songs.

I did ask from time to time whether anyone objected to being recorded but if anyone does object, please feel free to PM me and let me know, and I'll delete any given song. (After I have learned it for myself. *G*)
