Moira sang it while a huge bar of chocolate made the rounds and she ended up on knees begging for it.
Killed the whole "reserved" Brit persona.
This has been a very special evening. Brilliant music, magical harmonies and a house filled with good people sharing. Two sets of about 50 minutes each followed by a disorganized sing around where CMR performed any request that came from the floor. Jeri sang two new songs - one in honor of Seamus' run in with a skunk. The other, a beautiful tune and moving lyrics about life/death at sea. CMR took down the lyrics, musical notation and a recording. Someone has to record Jeri's stuff! It is too good to go unnoticed.
Of course Alice misbehaved and Ashra stole food but I think Kendall did too. Speaking of the Captain - he played while we all sang and told stories and jokes. He was his old self.
Maeve (Holly) was here. She and I picked apples barefoot. Great fun. She has a beautiful voice and added to the festivities. We all went home with assorted farm produce and plants. "Hens and CHickens" will fill my garden next year.
Malcolm sang a song that Micca is going to want - a dyslexic take on the Sailor's Alphabet. Hilarious!
Tami joined me in "The Baggage Coach Ahead", not literally. And she sang a Norwegian lullaby in honor of the Shetland Islands - long story.
Wonder of wonders! Jason sings loud and clear.
This entire evening was a pleasure.
Thank you all for a wonderful evening. Now, to bed in a Nor'Easter.
