This just dawned on my when I went over my schedule: was Merle Roesler there? The Songwriters Showcase went straight into Scottish Songs without Merle's mini-concert, and I remember a button lying on the check-in table when I was leaving.
Skarpi surprised me as well. I thought he'd be good, but he was better than that. Truly a pro with a really great voice. Barry Finn, in full voice on a good day can stip paint at 50 paces if he has to. He did just fine at the Getaway - nobody needed paint stripped.
