Getting to play in the show with Janie and Allan C, even though my 2 words were OOh and Aah!

Noticing with a smile that the same folks who jeered at the mention of us doing a Kingston trio song were also singing along in the chorus!

Being included in the Buskers with Lorcan, Skipjack and Leadfingers, and having Lorcan thank ne even though I almost screwed up his song with an early entrance on the Low D whistle.

The Saturday night Jam was to me one of those unrepeatable musical moments. Occasionally you have a life experience that later in life you look back on and remember it wistfully and wish you had appreciated it more at the moment. The older I get, the more aware I am of these moments while they are occurring. They are rare times and I am thankful of them. I can tell you all about them becaues you were there but to anyone else there is no use even trying.

Playing as one of the Pedestrians with Lonesome EJ, Jim BUnch and the legandary Bobert in the BLues Mini concert was another such moment.

Meeting Ebbie, hearing KT sing, drinking wine with Micca, trying to keep up with the music and wit of Amos, getting my candy thong from the Ducks, meeting so so so many wonderful people.
