We were there for the Saturday evening session, 4 to 10, and it flew by. It was great to see mudcats there. Kendall was the first person we saw outside when we walked up to the front door. Said he was taking a break from Caroline Paton's musical flower box!

Nice to meet Vixen and Tim for the first time -- yes, we're gonna hafta get together sometime to play some tunes -- and Karen K, Kath Westra, Lamarca, Liam's brother, who else? Also good to see Sandy & Caroline and Dick & Susan again.

High points: The Castle Band with Willow & Jim Sirch were wonderful, especially the woman who sang with them whose name I never heard.

The Shape Note beginner's session. Now I'm all ready for the program we're having in Branford on Friday.

The song "Will the water be chilly when I am called to die?" was a great one, and I'm looking for it if someone has the melody and words.

Low points: By the time we got to the cafeteria, all the good food must have been eaten. What we had was only food-like.

Not used to being a full-time spectator. We expected to have a bit of a jam, but that never happened, so it turned out that we just took our guitar and banjo for a good ride.
