We certainly had a wonderful time. I am majorly sleep-deprived and coffee-wired, hallmarks of a great music camp. Had a fine bunch of singers and just enough instrumentalists, no bodhran, though mary herself plays a piano accordion! Singer-songwriters, old timey folks and just the right mix of everything except the promised sunshine.
Got to see the cranberry harvest in a tour provided by mary, and we went down to the docks and mugged someone, coming back to camp with a 12 pound salmon for saturday dinner.
Amergin sang his originals, Sandy Bob brought banjo, guitar, his own and other people's songs and Rita, who also sings wonderful stuff. SB, would you be willing to post your "Hard to Get a Job under W"?
Genie was also there and some other once in while mudcatters. Couple local sisters dropped in and sang German songs and rounds in exquisite harmony - and were surprised to find a number of us also knew German songs. Genie did De Lorelie with them.
mary sang her songs, and others and kept the home fires going, everything running smoothly and got us all packed off today. Thanks again, mary. I don't think I've ever had better food at a music camp, and we did it ourselves. Mary set out the food and people pitched in and made it into meals. Wow.
Great job, mary, everyone.
Blessings,
Barbara
