It's been a while since I wandered in here, but glad to hear that the tradition continues. Just wanted you to know that I miss and remember you all fondly.

Is there anything going on in the Augusta to Lewiston (Maine) area?

About 6 years ago we re located from Yarmouth up here to Monmouth - a really lovely little village in between those cities - to be closer to the kids. Besides; Yarmouth was getting entirely too civilized!

I've been doing a few Civil War Music gigs for the Town's annual "Apple Festival", local Historical societies, Senior Housing communities, etc. especially for the "Sesquicentennial" of the Civil War. Last Summer I even came out of reenacting retirement for a bit to re-join the 3rd Maine Fife & Drum Corps at the Augusta Civic Center for a 150th commemoration. I'm not so sure that any war is something we need to be "celebrating" particularly.

That's about it for music. Would kind of like to get back into it some time.

May all the blessings of the season be abundantly enjoyed by Mudcatters all - especially the continuation of or restoration to good health!
