Thanks, gang, for the reports! I like to think the world rolls on even when I've in orbit somewhere else.

Richmond Days went off well with splendid weather for the first time in three years. We even got the fireworks off! The Lawnmower Race is still a work in progress but the Duct Tape Fashion Show had more contestants than prizes. The Belt-sander Race had it's first run and we'll probably prime it for another year. The pig scramble was an amazing success; six years olds are about on par with the piglets. Judy did her usual good job running sound for the open mic and the 1 hour featured performers. The main evening acts did their best to blast everyone off the waterfront into the river. The grand parade went off without a major hitch. I'm ready to sleep for a week!

Of course, today I was down in my home town of Georgetown performing with Alison Freeman at their arts festival, and then we all adjourned to the Five Islands wharf and enjoyed fresh lobster and corn on the cob.

Life goes on!

Next Saturday is our big Songs of the Sea Concert at the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath, Maine. Do consider coming. Featured performers will be Bob Webb, Roll & Go, Castelebay, and Alsion Freeman. More info on the Bill Bonyun Benefit Concert thread.

Cheerily,
