We had a lot of trouble dividing our time between 2 events going on simultaneously, a good indication of a good program line-up. This year was particularly shanty-rich! Between Johnson Girls, New York Packet, Shipping News, etc, I had a good time belting out choruses from the audience.

The food has definitely gone downhill since the high school started requiring the festival to use its "Culinary Arts" class as the main caterer. Gone are the days of interesting and/or scary ethnic food booths...but there's always "My Place" and the "Blue Colony Diner"!

George and I were first given the opportunity to perform at NOMAD by Joan. We enjoy getting to "show off", but what keeps us coming back year after year (as long as the Committee will have us) is the chance to visit with friends. Having Jeri, Kendall, Vixen and other 'Catters there added to the fun (and our audience - thanks, guys!) The Sunday Singaround is one of the few places where folks can sit and swap songs during the program, and is a great part of the NOMAD tradition. Joan, we missed you...
