Yes to all of that, Jeri.

One memory for me, is of watching my son Shadowmonk clear his throat with a *tiny* sip of Joel's moonshine before he sang "Grand Pubs of Yorkshire" for I-forget-who. Of course, another highlight was seeing him and his friends joining in the late-night sings instead of going over to their cabin to listen to Smashing Pumpkins or Rage Against the Machine on their boom boxes. *BG*

One of my favorite workshops was Rick's and Jed's Instrumental Styles. I just came to listen, it never occurred to me that zither playing also involves instrumental styles.

My borrowed car left with its owner to go to the RenFest about noon Sunday, which is why I couldn't get to any of the Folk Legacy session (it was UP THE HILL). Rats and toads, what a thing to miss! I had planned to go to the first half, then off to lead Civil War songs. Ah well that's life, and that's the Getaway, too....

With both FL and 1935 against it, Civil War was pretty darned sparse so we sang all our favorite songs in unison, but there were still some songs I'd never heard before.

Time to quit now, I have to finish an article on woodburning ("pyrography") by tomorrow for a new magazine. I'm just taking a short Mudcat Break, but back to work now....
