Oh, bloody hell, Abby! We were sitting not 15 feet from one other looking directly into each others' ugly mugs. And it wasn't even a crowded room.

In consolation, I was sitting with two rather comely young lasses from New Hampshire, with a pint of IPA in front of me and the Swansea lads singing 'long side.

I do recall your song, as well as its intro. I was the bloke who sang 'Randy Dandy Oh' and found that there were plenty among the bunch who could sing a lick and more.

As a suggestion, I've often made a time to meet friends at the Seaman's Inne Pub prior either to Thursday or Friday concerts or both. The food there (in the pub)is good and what passes for reasonable in tourist traps. It's not entirely unusual for those groups to include a few of the performers. Maybe the Mudcatters would like to try that next year.

Another populer Mystic meeting ground, in the morning, is the redoubtable 'Kitchen Little' where breakfasts are nothing short of stunning. It's on the water side, just a block north of the North Entrance.
