I was there with most of the other member of Roll & Go and Jeri joined us about half way through the afternoon. We had a great time. Picture this. It was a beautiful warm day with blue skies defined by an occasional puffy cloud. We sat on a covered deck overlooking a boatyard and the water. An attentive waiter was on hand to serve us beverages and food. As we whiled away the hours various performers came to entertain us. The afternoon was pretty near perfect.

After the workshops Charley Noble, Jeri, and I joined Bat Goddess and Curmudgeon on the deck at Federal Jack's where we swilled down various beverages, nibbled on a variety of delicious foods, served by the same waiter (Oh! Back again?), and sang songs amongst ourselves.

Later we went up to the Kennebunk town hall for the concert. There was quite a line up for that. Martin Hugill, Louis Killen, Compass Rose, Don Sineti, Jeff Warner, Forebitter, Celeste Bernardo, Ellen Cohn, and our own Marc Bernier. Allison _?_ of the Johnson Girls was there as well though she was not on the program. They fitted her in and she made a great addition. The acoustics in the hall were not very good but that didn't matter. They had a decent crowd and we managed to fill that hall with sound. They even let Don sing with a microphone. For those who don't know Don I have, in the past, described him as looking like a refrigerator on which someone has stuck a head and filled the body with double bass woofers and amplifiers. That man can generate some sound. He is charismatic and loved by one and all.
