Barbara-

Thanks so much for your description. It gives me a much better picture of what was happening. It probably works even better for the insiders! I try to do the same with the Mystic Sea Music Festival here in the States and some of the other events I and my group perform at or attend that I think folks from away might be interested in.

Saving one's voice for the performances is an important priority, given the number of opportunities there are to wreck one's voice in a noisy pub session. And there is always the temptation to sing just one more!

Clearly such concerns do not apply to the intrepid Captain Birdseye.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
