This last bit of the conversation reminds me of one of the very best reasons you could have to come to Getaway. Or should I say two of the very best reasons. The chance to meet Bill D and Rita Ferrara should be worth the trip on its own. But unless you are prepared to lose your heart, you better leave it home. One of my favorite Getaway memories is when Rita came over and sat down with me at the 1st getaway at Havre de Grace and asked me to sing a song (Death of Queen Jane). She then did it the way she knew and we had one of the loveliest conversations. When I used to do mini concerts, I loved to look up and see Bill in his portable chair. His smile is so infectious and his way so genuine, that I knew we would be friends for a long while. These are the type of lifetime friends you will make with very little effort at the Getaway. FSGW is loaded with caring and giving folks. I have grown close to a number of them.

Come and make music with us.
