I have barely slowed down this last few days, since we still have guests (Noreen & Stewart) and have not even finished unloading the van yet! I have downloaded pics, but have not edited and sorted them, so I will be posting many images that will jog memories ("oh, yeah! I remember her/him....who was that?" .I took a bunch of crowd shots at the concerts, too so I may have at least snaps of 'almost' everyone.

The line is beginning to blur between "Mudcatters" (which I guess means anyone who has posted once..*grin*), local folks who NEVER post,, (like Hunter, who has been at every gospel sing since time immemorial), non-local folks who never post, but who have been at Getaways longer than I have...(like Keith Baldwin, who started things off with "Hoboes & Trains" and added a song to MANY sings)....I will identify them as I post pics.

Since I have now attended 28 consecutive Getaways..(not nearly as many as Dick Greenhaus and SongBob and a few others), my mind blurs sometimes, and names escape me....but you all can help if I fail to put names to all the pics!

I am still sorting out my feelings of awe and camaraderie at some of what I saw and people I met....and since I was overwhelmed with setting up my wood display too, I was often not at all of the music I wanted to hear. (thank you ALL who made nice comments [and especially those who took something home..*happy smile*)

so....here are 4 pics of the audience Sat night....see how many you can pick out...many more to come
