Hi, everyone,

Thanks for the well-wishes...the open mic was wonderful fun. It ended up as a kind of hybrid of jamming and turn-taking with hours of trad, blues, originals, bluegrass...

How do I say it but "cooking with gas."

I can't believe I actually had the gall to sing a song I'd written "on the steering wheel" the same afternoon, without even a once-through. I love 12-bar blues in G for that. I made a good goof, but then that's maybe why they didn't hire me to host, eh? **BG** Anyhow, it's guaranteed to have a different tune next time. It was great to have mandolin and sax breaks to make it music.

Trying to recall what Mom and I sang together...St. Louis Blues and (pre-menopausal moment). Willie-O, do you remember if we did a train song?

Pictures? Wellllllll...I forgot both camera and film at home, so I'm crossing my fingers that the disposable one and pictures taken by someone else will turn out okay. I promised W-O that I wouldn't send any bad pictures to bbc.

Singing & dancing, CH.
