I just returned from the concert and it was a resounding success. We had an audience of about 250. Half were returnees from last year and the others were all new faces. This was a very enthusiastic audience that sang along on all the choruses. Bill Hahn was there recording the entire concert for future airing on his WFDU "Traditions" show.
I printed out Art's message and personally handed it to James Durst. He sends back his warmest regards to you, Art. Yes, he is still doing "Cricket" as part of his repertoire but did not think it was appropriate for the audience he was playing to today which was primarily a "Weavers" crowd.
