Relax Don.

I am trying to have a conversation with you and you yourself gave this description of the gathering you attend - "And so it goes, just like we did it forty, fifty years ago. The only difference is that now we are geezers."   That would lead the reader to believe it is the same group - or a clique. You also gave a description of the Seattle Folklore Societys sings that differs from the description that they give on their website. I would love to hear from others that are involved.

So, to reply to your statement - no, I do not know what is going on in Seattle, but I am trying to piece together what you are telling us.

Please do not be defensive, this is just a discussion.
