Charley, the tall guy who does a lot of Stan Rogers' songs is Eric Bogle who usually only joins us when the weather outside is not conducive to hiking, kayaking, or other outdoor activities, etcet, etcet.

And Tom brought his guitar for a change, which meant he could sing a bunch of stuff he hasn't done for awhile, like "Holy Ground" and the other ones. (Sorry, brain is off someplace -- hope it's resting up.)

The young college crowd at the bar were there, evidently, for the football game on the tube. I don't know why, cuz they were so loud they couldn't actually HEAR what was on the telly... Well, prolly more beer there than in a dorm room.

We did have two representatives from Gloucester -- Alexander right from close to the beginning at least and then Gardi who, I think ;-) used a small handheld GPS device to find us.

Good session, all in all. Missed the folks that weren't there, but we had fun and sang a lot of songs anyway!
