Subject: RE: Goderich 2005 Celtic Roots Festival
Jess (of Crucible) asked me to sing the song I led at the song circle into her tape machine - what an honour!

Mooh, please tell Mrs. Mooh that I had 2 separate terrible migraines on the way home from Goderich, and Mr. Black Walnut was able to help me through the first one in Sebringville, but that during the second one, I was hiding in a dark corner of a McDonalds restaurant, trying to recover from the migraine, whilst Mr. Black Walnut was driving my harps and keyboard back to Toronto in another car, trying to keep them out of the baking heat of the sun, and into McDonalds walked 2 Celtic Festivalers from Peterborough, who rescued me - one of them drove me and my car from Kitchener to Toronto! So I got home safe and sound. What a ride.

Other than that......Wonderful college. Wonderful festival. Wonderful volunteers. Wonderful bed and breakfast. Wonderful town.

~b.w.

P.S. I liked so much of the music, but probably especially Crucible, and the Wailin' Jennys, and Janet Harbison, and the McDades (Jeremiah, and their throat singing drummer!), and the Anne Massie band, and the Emily Smith band, and of course Nancy and James, and the college concerts, and Jean Mills' accordion T shirt, and the beach, and the sunsets, and the stars, and The Bean, and ....... I'm getting off topic, aren't I.
