Pondering.

Those of us galumping around in inflated horses had a grand time making fools of ourselves last year. However, I was very aware that the enthusiam of many in the audience did not match our own. There were more than a few stunned and incredulous faces looking back at us from the rows of chairs.

I was in the audience for "All Around My Hat." My own reaction to it was that it was planful, choreographed, and somewhat rehearsed. The number of people in the cast was appropriately scaled to the space and the event, and the spirit of it was in sync with the Getaway. I was definitely entertained. I suspect that last year, many in the audience experienced the 'production' as simply startling and chaotic.

We know that Bill is very involved with the active membership of FSGW, those folks in the DC area who regularly attend the song circles, open mikes, house concerts, etc. He is wonderfully tactful. I think he is trying to tell us that many people in the audience last year were not particularly amused by our antics.

Which is another good excuse for me to avow that I ain't wearin' no poodle skirt.
