BG - many thanks for sharing those pics; It's a darned good thing at least ONE of us actually had FILM in our camera! {B>{*~
(*Duh!*)
I thought I had a couple of pretty good shots of you & Crumudge for a while there.... Oh well!
Who's the old coot on the banjo at the very end? };^{)~
Looks like he might be singing that old Stephen Foster saw "When the Glendy Burke Come Down". Hope ye don't mind if I use that one on me resume' - it's one of the better ones!
Next time I hope you get Brian head-on so we might see his sparkling Irish eyes and winning Irish smile; he ain't all THAT ugly, eh?
Perhaps at the next one, we can designate one of the non-singers to act as our official Photographer to record the event for posterity - and to share with fellow 'Catters all over the World.
Speaking of "next time"; just a couple of thoughts: In August the Yarmouth Historical Society is presenting a program out on Cousin's Island (Community Center) on the region's nautical history during the age of sail.
The Sons of Union Veterans has been meeting and having dinners etc. at that building during the Summer Months, and It's a cozy little joint with running water, "facilities" (which the Captain's barn lacks), and a full kitchen. I don't think the Island Association that manages it charges a whole lot for it - I'd estimate that a couple of bucks a head from our usual turnout should about cover it ... interested?
The Cousin's Island Community House is less than a mile, i'd reckon, to Madeline Point wharf, where the Casco Bay ferry picks up for Peak's Island, and nice weather might provide a very congenial outdoor jamming space nigh unto the Sea.I have another couple of ideas as well, but will take it back to the "ME/NH Sea Songs" Thread.
Here's clues;
The royal River Park pavillion, where weekly performances are held through the Summer... and the 5th Maine Regimental hall & Museum out on Peaks' Island in Casco Bay.
Stay tuned!
