Mind if I warm my hands by the fire?

Most of the time, this is a good place to come. I've enjoyed all the comments in here, and I'm glad that while politics is mentioned, this hasn't devolved into another political thread. I particularly enjoyed your post, Martin. It's the best description I've read in awhile of what happens when people get together just to enjoy each other and share music. It sounds like the time we had at our Gospel In Black, Bluegrass and Blues workshop. And, last year when some of the Shellbacks, Karen Kobella and the Gospel Messengers came up to our house for a thorough sing-around. Everyone was enjoying everyone else, and just rejoicing im being together. And what great fun the singing was.

Music does have the power to transcend all differences. Even moreso, so does love.
