The Getaway just seems to get better with each passing year.

So many great moments, it's difficult to recall them all right now.

Dan Schatz doing an amazing version of Rolling Home at the Saturday night concert, with a dedication to Kendall. Amos and KT both singing their own songs dedicated to the Cap'n.

I was absolutely flabbergasted that John Roberts had learned and sang Carrying Nelson Home for me at the Saturday night concert. That was such a treat.

Hilary and Richard were just stupendous and I finally got to hear Richard sing Lady of Autumn, late on Sunday night. If that lad doesn't use that voice more often I'll be finding some sort of torture for him - that is too good a sound to waste!

Hilary and Claire doing a harmony on Where Ravens Feed late Sunday night was just superb - such beautiful voices and they blended so well. The LaPrelles dueting on what sounded like an Elizabethan piece that same night was something I'm glad I didn't miss.

Richard and Dave Diamond's parodies were absolutely spot on at the Parody workshop. Gordon Bok and Steve Cormier both gave wonderful mini concerts.

Rita Ferrara''s Santa Lucia on Sunday night, with Zither accompaniment was so beautiful - Kendall enjoyed that so much.

We had a twelve hour journey home, but the time seemed to go quickly with Carol for company. We completed the last leg of the journey with an almost full moon rising to accompany us home. When it first came up it was deep orange on the horizon, changing to silver as it climbed into the sky.

Carol and I spent the day trawling a local thrift shop and then at the beach with Seamus, who I have now sprung from Auntie Mary. I think tomorrow may just be a relaxing day. Maybe I'll recall more of the highlights then.
