Linn-

We've been moving stuff back into the entryway after having the floor done. Really not a whole lot of stuff. Just the washing machine, the dryer, the sideboard where we store all our office supplies, not to mention the copier that nests on top.

It was a fine session!

I did do a song I had just learned, "The Sea Dog," based on a poem (1918) by Burt Franklin Jenness (another sailor poet) which Bob Zenz adapted for singing back in 1992; the words are on a Mudcat thread titled Sea Dog. I also screwed up one of my favorite songs, "Lumber," which I should know stone cold. I was taken totally by surprise at the beginning of the 4th verse where I could not remember the first word ("But..."). Ugh! I also did "Fire Maringo," "Tasman Buster," and "The Long Road Home."

Nor and Eli also had a good time but both of them were ignored by the waitstaff for refills. Poor Nor! He finally wnet up to the bar trying to attract Hanna's attention to no avail. Then chatted with Peter, returned to the bar and was ignored again. Well. it is busy and not everyone is as efficient (or as brave) as Peter at getting attention.

Gardi's new song "Monomoy" is certainly worth listening to again.

Barry Finn was certainly in gret form!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
