Memories of the day:

* Curmudgeon, face twisted and gasping for breath as he laughs at some remark/joke/story/song...

* Too many musicians in a small space, a critical mass resulting in endless O'Carolan tunes, massed voices harmonizing on various choruses, ducking fiddle bows and swinging guitar and banjo necks.

* Food spread all over the kitchen, Captain Kendall's fish chowdah, beef curry, cakes, nuts, cheeses, pasta salads, stuffed bread, lemon squares and, of course, BOURBON BALLS!

* The quiet that falls over a room full of people during a quiet song, and the rush of sound as the chorus comes up.

Thanks again, Tom and Linn.
