Thanks for the welcome, folks!

Barry, what time is that sing usually at? Hopefully I could make it up there sometime soon. What is the caliber of the people there? Professionals, amateurs, any instrumentalists, or mostly a capella? What genre of music tends to prevail??

I wonder if I know you? (You don't have to answer that if you don't want to) :-) I did go to the festival in New Bedford, if you mean the one that was in May. The free one that Jeff Davis, Compass Rose, Rum-Soaked Crooks, David Jones, et al, were at? I missed a lot because I was carting my baby around, but at least I got to see old friends.

I noticed your post about Bill Doerflinger skulking around the Mystic Fest a few years ago; I was there too. We seem to travel in the same circles (goodness knows they're small enough around here!)...
