Sheesh! Thank you. I'll grab this (slightly) embarrasing thread while it's up here, and say I had a wonderful time last night. One thing that stands out for me was that while we no-account pickers were doing are thing, the team of Lydia Bartkiew and Jason LaPrade gave us (and the audience) wonderful sound. There were a lot of instruments - ALL acoustic, on stage. Often a nightmare for sound people, but these two did a wonderful job. If anyone's touring through Ontario, ask for these folks. (I'll give you their e-mail).
I borrowed a page from the Washington folks book, and asked anyone who'd like, to hang around for a song circle afterward. Quite a few did, and I think they had a fine old time.
