Thread Name: Old Songs Festival 2011, big surprises?
Subject: RE: Big surprises at Old Songs 2011?
I'm having a problem imagining Heather Wood looking scared, not to mention being in a workshop that early on Sunday morning. I might likely be wrong about who it was though, not having been there.

CupOfTea/Joanne, I had no idea you had that much trouble getting rid of those rum balls! I only had one, but would have gladly helped you out by eating a handful or two. (Yummy-thanks!)

My only real surprise was learning how to sing overtones. I tried that unsuccessfully for a long time, so I went to Guy Mendilow's workshop thinking nothing would change, but at least I'd hear HIM do it. We all got going, and I heard loads of overtones coming from everybody, including me! Now, I can try to make it better.

It's always a pleasure to see old friends, and to catch up or simply listen to stories and jokes. The G & T's with Don and Cindy were wonderful, as always, Kendall & Jacqui's place was a home base. I also go to be part of a flash mob that wasn't all that flashy or mobby, but at least I know I can still play fiddle.

I'm still tired. I didn't ever stay up really late or drink much, but I DID get back Sunday night and go to work on Monday night. I'd still like to go back for some more music.
