Psst - nobody tell Charley about that thing called the Digital Tradition. He might actually find the lyrics to Aunt Clara in there and not want to continue with the trade with BG.

Bbc, if you just didn't feel like singing, it's ok. As far as the mood goes, it's whatever the particular combination of people on a particular night make it. Knowing the type of music you like (or thinking I do) anything you sang would have gone over well. (Tony even did a Jackson Browne top 10 hit, and folks seemed to enjoy it very much.)

I almost posted this in the Jug thread, but it fits better here. We have a friend, Rick, who used to live around here. He sometimes comes to the session and brings his daughter. (Bat Goddess, do you know how old she is? 8 Maybe?) She once brought her harp, and had learned "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." She played it, and we all joined in. This kid is far more competent in a few areas, and I don't mean skill level, (as Rick Fielding might say, she has an "ear" that is magnificent) than many adults are. Even though we do mostly traditional material, the joy in sharing music is in the sharing, not necessarily what the songs are.

Bbc & Duane, it was great to have you here, and I hope you enjoyed it. I think Kendall might have even had a good time on that particular night.

Mick came up again today to join us in a very informal gig. There STILL wasn't much of a chance to talk, but it was good to see and hear him again. I wasn't rude even once, by the way.
