Well!! have arrived safe at Marys, Home Port! after an INCREDIBLE trip that has,again, renewed my faith in the Magic of the Mudcat, without which none of it would have happened.No Getaway, No Friends to visit here in the US ,None of it!! So Thanks Max!,
We Left Celtaddicts in CT yesterday late morning and set off for Portsmouth for the Press Room and got there about 4 pm to a great welcome, it seems Linn HAD met Janet before!! (which we knew already but she didnt remember) and had a Brill session with some very moving songs including a Superb rendition of "North West Passage" and some fun songs too, it was Greeat to "Re-meet" the Portsmouth, and the Plan is to go for the Shanty sing today as well! How about that for an "embarassement of riches"?
What more could you ask for, a week that included a Folk Festival,a n evening with Severn, a long train Journey, Fall colours, boats and ships to climb aroumd on and inspect, a sing on an old Whaling ship that is being rebuilt, a trip on a schooner on the Connecticut under sail, then a sing at the Press Room with lots of friends, and then to arrive "home", I will write more when I stop fizzing!
