Maeve did come after all with the apple pie, which went wonderfully well with Jeri's rat cheese; she only lives about 20 minutes north of me so I invited her to a benefit concert we're doing in Richmond (Maine) April 20 with Roll & Go, and Kat Logan & Jim Loney.

There was also a new couple who seemed very interested in the singing, who have just moved into town from Rhode Island. What were their names? Their lasagna was fine.

Tom's curry was also a delight, and people seemed to enjoy the homemade blueberry chutney that I brought to go with it.

There was also a great salad, roasted veggies, fruit, and lots of beer and wine, and a bottle of expensive looking scotch.

I got to sing some of my old Great Lakes songs: "Keewenaw County" and "Fresh-Water Whaling (aka "Superior Sperm") and I got Linn to sing "Lovely Agnes." Other songs I led included "Mid-Watches," "Poor Little Ellen," and "The Body in the Bag."

Everyone seemed to be in good spirits, maybe just a little tired from extended winter!

Thanks, Sinsull, for hosting another fine song party.

Of course, most everyone is still there singing but they don't have an hour to drive.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
