Thread Name: Old Songs Festival 2011, big surprises?
Subject: RE: Big surprises at Old Songs 2011?
There were many high spots, the Folk Legacy gathering was tops. I'm honored to be a member of that family since 1973 or '74.
Then there was that cook out at our site with our old friends, the Woodchucks, John Roberts, as Peter mentioned, I love his singing and he did Carrying Nelson Home proud, or I should say he did Mike O'Connor proud.
Alouette and Mike Islin were there but they suddenly disappeared before the chow was ready!

Don Meixner added to the mix with his picking and singing. Our dear friend, Jeri graced us with her presence, Mary, Hollowfox brought a big box of strawberries and chocolate cake.
Peter and Joanne Sousa came by; they are always a delight.Rose Sheehan added a very welcome harmony to Carrying Nelson Home.
Kathy Westra and George Stevens, always a pleasure to see them.
E Barnacle who likes to debate Jacqui :-) and Lady Hillary joined us for the cookout.
Allison and Hunt came by and turned down a drink of my best Scotch! :-)
Joy Bennett and Cris Caldaway really rounded out the jovial crew.

Sunday morning, Edmund (CET) dropped in for a chat. That was a pleasant surprise.
