Glad to hear the good news, Allison. I wanted to write a note to you last night, but the discussion in the living room with Dave Para and Cathy Barton kept me away from the machine. Give Lindsay our best, and Maggie, too. It was a delight to see her again.

I'm looking forward to seeing the photos of the Mudcat Ring as they sang around the Folk-Legacy booth. A circle of blue t-shirts and happy faces! Great scene.

Okay, gang. The next official assembly will be at the Getaway in October. Leave the peanuts at home, but bring your voices and instruments. Informal gatherings (like at Folk-Legacy on July 31st) will happen in the interim. bbc: look for a personal note coming soon.
