Sleep? Sleep? Who needs sleep? When you're dead you can sleep.
I had a great time. Spent most of this afternoon at the singaround led by Bat Goddess and Curmudgeon. Roll and Go showed up, Debra Cowan wowed us with the "Dreadful Ghost" (the ghost was dreadful, not the song!- ahh, beautiful!), Jeri sang her lovely "Why we sing" song (i'm waiting for the words, Jeri). Judy Predmore gave us "Twin Lights"; I'm sorry I had to leave early and wasn't able to hear more of the wonderful musicians again.
Highlight of the weekend: singing in Gerret Warner's kitchen, packed with at least 25 singers. "My lady of autumn" stands out, as does Barry Finn belting out just about anything!
