Joan -- We missed you too!!!!! She (Joan)is too modest. Joan used to live near NOMAD, and was a KEY person in organizing this annual festival -- to the tune of hundreds of hours of volunteer work (along with Mark and other members of the organizing committee). I'd like to add that the organizers of this festival not only do great work, but are among the friendliest festival organizers I've ever run across. Highlight -- Dennis and Judy Cook singing the Berryman's "Double Yodel" in the "He Said, She Said" workshop on Sunday afternoon. It was hilarious and wonderful. Rick -- Yup, the kazoo guy was there -- and had run out of his wonderful kazoos before the end of Saturday. Durnit. I'd hoped to buy some for my nephews this year. Kath
