Thread Name: 2011 Getaway Reports
Subject: RE: 2011 Getaway Reports
How were you people able to type Tuesday and even Monday? I could barely find the room I keep the computer in, much less the keys.

I admit I had a pretty good time this year. I was annoyed to find at the very excellent local sings Monday and Tuesday nights I kept thinking of Getaway.

But I was certainly gratified that even Getawayers what knew me from last year stayed in the room when I came in and even after I started singing. I'm flattered. It was also fine to hear some others do "earthy" songs so if I come back next year I can return to my usual soft romantic and children's material.

As to the kindness and openness of so many - I can barely think about it, certainly not write. But the music - to listen day and night and never hear a song I didn't enjoy, a style I didn't prefer, a personal approach that was cynical or phoney or staged - that's pretty rare for me. Yeah - a well-spent too-brief Getaway.

Thank you to ALL.
