Since this NOMAD thread seems to be more active, here's what I posted on the "other" NOMAD thread...(maybe a Joe-clone could combine them?)

Reynaud and I had, as always, a wonderful time. NOMAD is right up there with Old Songs as a favorite festival. We were only able to be there from 2:30 to 9:30 this year, instead of open to close.
We are grateful we had the opportunity to visit and play with as many friends as we did!

The big focus for us was "Songs from the Civil War" with ShoreGrass (Barbara, Frank, Paul and Dave). Between our gig schedule and their gig schedule there was no possibility of getting together to rehearse before NOMAD, so Barbara sent us their CD, and we learned the material at home. Fortunately, Reynaud is comfortable with that sort of thing; I tend to panic when I feel under-rehearsed. In the event, however, it all went fine! (Added Bonus--we now have several new songs that we can add to our Civil War set!)

To all the Mudcats we didn't get a chance to talk to/jam with--may we meet again real soon, with more time to visit!

I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures!
