As Big Mick noted in his post, I drove over to Grand Rapids last night to join the session with Bill and Allen. It's been years since I've participated in a session (and, last night, I added only my voice) but it was every bit as enjoyable as any I've ever experienced. The added experience of getting to meet my first in-the-flesh Mudcatters made it even more special. And I can echo Big Mick's enthusiasm over Bill's rendition of 'The Mermaid' as well as the rest of the repertoire, some familiar, some not, that he and Allan were able to present. What a joy!
