A bit windy & a bit wet but not bad enough that you wouldn't want to bite the bullet. I got a few pictures of a fare number of catters in the Dutch Barn at Sandy & Caroline Patton's singing session. There were some great acts to be had, among them that I caught were Norma Waterson & hubby Martin Carthy, Karen Casey, Joel Mabus & a great surprise for me was Steve Tilson, as a guitar player, as a singer & as a songwritter, just great. There were loads of catters' there doing quite a bit of good singing themselves. One of the surprising things I found was how early most catters & the rest of the festival goers) turned in, only Sandy & Jeri got tough. I caught Jeri trying to dig up some sounds Saturday night, it was just after 4 in the morning, you go girl. Kendall outlasted the sun by mere minutes (well maybe it was a bit longer). Hadn't seen some people in some time, it was espically nice to see Karen K again over at Sandy's & just as nice to see Sandy & Caroline (& to hear them singing). I caught Susan A-R, as I was sitting beside her, joining in with some lovely harmonies, got to meet up with Hollowfox, Deb C woke up the barn & put an end (Fri night) to the, how can I say it, "could I have some more syrup with these songs please" with a great rough & tumble rendition of "Mars Forever More". Got to sit & chat with bbc & Dwane and you can always count on Dick G & Susan of the DT to be gracefully about. That Kendall must have a corner on the funny songs market aside from his downeast humor when he's bringing his songs out, my hero. Got to meet up with MMario on several occasions & the Woodchucks were every where, you'd think that they covered the festival more the the staff, except when it gets late & the sun has just sunk. I think my daughter was seeing more of Alison & her daughter Maggie more than she saw me but I did get to meet up with Alison a good few times & chat. Also got to meet up with, can't spell it so forgive me, Dhrama & got to hear John B in the Dutch Barn singing (nice stuff John). Even though Jeri said she was getting raspy in the throat she sang right proper in the barn too & what a beaut of a song she did justice to. Even the river that my son told me about that ran right through our camp site wasn't enough to put even a slight damper on the weekend. I know I'm missing some but I just got in after 8 hrs (we took the long way) of driving. Well all in all it was a hell've time. Oh, I can't forget to add Judy & Dennis Cook to the list here, as always in great & gracious form & always such a pleasure to run into them & Peg who was as usual singing up a storm worthy of the show mother nature was putting on (thanks for the cookbook sweetie). Barry, whose finally trying to get some sleep.
