Thanks, Janie. By the way I did certainly enjoy singing and playing with you at the Peace Cabin this year--and I still think your duet of several years ago on There'll Be No Church Tonight--can't remember your partner, though I can see her--- was a major highlight of that Getaway--especially since I'd never heard the song before and you guys did a delightful rendition.


I do try to support all other music-makers as much as I can. I especially enjoy singing harmony or playing harmony--just being part of the ensemble.   I love to try to help out anyone musically--as long as the person is not singing out of RUS. Making music as a group is endlessly satisfying--and it can easily be done without RUS.

It's just that the use of the book in question has been extremely deleterious to many open sings and similar occasions.    And I care too much about music to let that go. I suppose it's part of being a music addict.

It's certainly true that Joe is also endlessly helpful and supportive in any number of ways.
It's ironic that we seem to have this one little point of friction. I suppose it's possible he and I will have to agree to disagree.
