Well I did make it to the Sing in Berkley & it was a nice get singing get together, it was nice to meet up with mudcatter yrlancslad, Jim I guess was there too but we didn't get to meet. I did plan on meeting Riggy there & did get to go pay him a visit on Saturday with my daughter up in Sebastopol, very beatuiful country, redwoods, wine vineyards & apple ranches, got the nickel tour of the area too. Thanks Riggy. Friday eve I headed over to the San Francisco Folk Music Society sing in the Haight area. Sad to say it was very disappointing. Many people singing from books & lists, songs that they hadn't prepared & didn't know & couldn't finish without others jumping in to finish for them. This was where 25 yrs ago I met & became friends with a host of great singers who had the place jammed all night with the singers lifting the roof off the place. Sadly those days were only remember likea distant era be those now attending. What happened?
I'm shorthy on the way to meet chanteyranger & have a bite to eat at his place before we head over to the Starry Plough for their Monday nite session.
