Thread Name: Old Songs Festival 2001, How did it go
Subject: RE: Old Songs, How did it go
Hollowfox, I went up there expressly TO drool on him...Norma too. I suppose they get a lot of that from people. Morons like me go up and say something like "I just wanted to tell you (uh-oh - lookout) how much I've enjoyed your music...blah, blah, blah." I at least stopped before the blah-blahs, and Martin was very gracious - even shaking my hand. Then I shut up and let Hollowfox drool on him.

Just to continue our conversation, the impression I have of you from 197-whatever is a young woman with a wicked sense of humor and an aggressive joy in life and music who wanted to share that joy with folks. I wanted to be like you when I grew up. I also remember the warmed flask of something (brandy?) at Fox Hollow, when I was on the late shift at the campground gate. Anybody who shares their joy, and their booze is OK in my book!

Sandy, I didn't notice you were running any sort of "tight ship." It had a very relaxed feel. I did notice is you got some of the quieter folks to sing. Whatever you did, I hope you keep doing it - that song swap couldn't have possible been any better.
