It's really amazing to think about--all over the nation and oher nations people are undergoing huge inconvenience, aches and pains of toting bags and travel, to converge on this little leafy glen in the backwaters of Maryland to spend three days eating so-so food and sleep in hard racks...for the pleasure of hearing each other sing. Now that is really somp'n, I am here to say!!


Put we picked 'em where we larned 'em,
And for that Getaway
I would foller Morse on a sway-back horse
To hell, come any day!
