Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Janie Date: 08 Oct 07 - 11:31 PM If the weather doesn't figure out pretty soon that autumn is here, we'll be skinnydipping by moonlight in the West River! (Or at least, be able to have some of the workshops outside.) Note to Bill D. I got new reading glasses at the five and dime, the better to read, yes, READ, lyrics. Will you love me anyway? Janie |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: TRUBRIT Date: 09 Oct 07 - 08:21 PM Jacqui -- I'll be your substitute evil twin this year -- I am not up to Sins' incredibly high standards but I am working on it!!! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Bill D Date: 09 Oct 07 - 08:40 PM " Will you love me anyway?" Didn't I always? ☺ (I have been known to use a cheat sheet!...my rule is, if I can close my eyes and not tell if someone is using a sheet, I don't worry much...heck, Mick used to set up a music stand!) |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Par From: jacqui.c Date: 10 Oct 07 - 08:37 AM Great Deb - We've got Tami to help out as well. Between you you should be able to help wreak some havoc, especially with the UK contingent. And Big Mick and the other usual suspects. He he he he he he he ...................... |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Micca Date: 10 Oct 07 - 10:32 AM jacqui, since I seem likely to be the sole UK representative this year I am worried!!! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: DeanC Date: 10 Oct 07 - 02:02 PM The Getaway is less than 4 weeks away. If you haven't registered yet, now would be the time to do it. It helps us with planning to know who is coming. You can register and/or pay on line at FSGW Getaway. From that page you can also get to a printable form if you prefer to by mail. Dean |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Lonesome EJ Date: 10 Oct 07 - 02:17 PM Well, I intend to use a music stand and sheet music. The complexity of my performances requires it. ;>) |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Fortunato Date: 10 Oct 07 - 03:18 PM Lonesome EJ, you're clear as long as you don't use an electic light on your music stand -- "there'll be no plugging in!" The folkie cops will be out to abuse you if you do. ("I do not bite my thumb at thee, sir, but I do bite my thumb.") |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Amos Date: 10 Oct 07 - 04:25 PM LEJ's performing complexity has acheived the status of a legend in his own mind. :D Clock's a-ticking, boyos and lassies. I expect it will be a...um...memorable occasion indeed. A |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: DeeRod Date: 10 Oct 07 - 09:28 PM Power structure default or indifference leads me to plan to get the Fri. night sing started once again. 8:30 Main hall. Everybody who wants to sing gets to sing if that means six hours to get around the room. Bring your cast iron butts (developed at Fox Hollow) and choruses. We guarantee that your chosen song won't be sung by anyone else before the person next yo you does it. PS Motels for you furriners are a lot closer in Annapolis, Upper Marlboro or Bowie. Look at the map. Also BWI is a reasonable airport. Nat & Dulles are not. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: TRUBRIT Date: 10 Oct 07 - 10:46 PM MICCA!!!!!! Get with it.......! You are going to need that life belt that Barry is sending you. I think I am suitably incensed (can't speak for Jacqui but I suspect she'll be pissed!!). Lucky for you that we love you!!!!!!! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Micca Date: 11 Oct 07 - 04:17 AM Debs, (and jacqui) I was referring to Non-USA resident UKers!! specially "imported" for the Getaway NOT the Maineiacs!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: GUEST,Dani Date: 11 Oct 07 - 05:40 AM Bill, I am so relieved to hear you say that. I think that's a very humane guideline. Some people, like me, only get an opportunity like the Getaway once in a blue moon, and the next verse doesn't stick where it's supposed to ; ) Thanks for that. I have SO MUCH respect for music you do and encourage. If your standards prevailed, the world (not just the folkie one, either) would be a nicer place. Dani |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Linda Goodman Zebooker Date: 11 Oct 07 - 09:53 AM Yes, things I know quite well in my own livingroom, that I've done dozens and dozens of times can still disappear like smoke in a song circle which is filled with other people's music and keys in your ears. Or else you concentrate so hard on remembering that you can't make eye contact, etc, even if you've practiced this specifically. Having the stuff in your hands helps a lot. I'm glad of this advice also. Linda |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Par From: jacqui.c Date: 11 Oct 07 - 09:54 AM I was just going to do "MICCA! CELLAR!" and then he back pedals like mad. MAYBE he can be forgiven, particularly if he manages to import some Mint Imperials this time. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Micca Date: 11 Oct 07 - 10:39 AM Mint Imperials???? Who said anything about Mint Imperials? |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Bill D Date: 11 Oct 07 - 12:19 PM Dani, Janie, Linda G.,...this use of paper for variable memory issues 'can' be a thorny one, but I have adopted the "if I can't tell with my eyes closed" philosophy as *I* get older and have fewer opportunities to sing in public...*grin* (Linda...you & I go to the same Open Sings, and YOU know that we do get those who can't even follow a tune or find the words even IF they are staring at the sheet...*sigh*...probably because this is only the 3rd time they have ever looked at the song.) That is sad...and tedious, and provides no enjoyment for the audience. I have a large collection of songs that I have known..or almost known...for years; and with a bit of help in my lap, I can usually get thru them just fine. The Getaway is an amazing place, with well-known musicians hob-nobbing with rank amateurs...and mostly getting along just fine. And most of those pros can remember when THEY were rank amateurs, and are pretty tolerant at this venue. It's a good idea to not attempt a song you really are not sure of and haven't practiced at all...but otherwise, SING and enjoy! See you soon! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Ebbie Date: 14 Oct 07 - 03:01 AM Ron Davies, tonight a friend called to tell me that she had come across a CD I had given her a couple years back of KT's Mini Concert at the Getaway. She was marveling at the beauty of the violin's sound on River. Told her it was a viola and gave you credit. So if you ever meet Sandy from Juneau, you will find a ready made fan. (In addition to me and KT) |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Janie Date: 14 Oct 07 - 11:48 PM This simply curiosity. What is it about this particular thread that it keeps getting hit with these spammer messages? |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Ebbie Date: 15 Oct 07 - 12:13 AM Was my comment spam, Janie? |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: KT Date: 15 Oct 07 - 02:32 AM LOL, Ebbie! I hope not. Gee Eb, I saw your name and hoped you'd gotten us both a ticket! |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Ebbie Date: 15 Oct 07 - 02:36 AM Nope. Just got you a viola. (Not really. But it is about the only instrument you don't have!) |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Ebbie Date: 15 Oct 07 - 03:20 AM That didn't come out right. Meant to imply that the viola is about the only instrument you don't play. But I really don't even know how many instruments you have. Shoulda bought the tickets! |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Janie Date: 15 Oct 07 - 06:51 AM Never, Ebbie! (Sure wish you and KT DID have your plane tickets in hand....) Janie |

Subject: RE: Getaway 07- general discussion/kibitzing - Part 2 From: Bobert Date: 15 Oct 07 - 08:25 AM Well, having recieved an PM from a member of the organizing committee who assumed that I'd be in attendance to do my usual mini-concert and perhaps other stuff (think blues jam here...), sadly, I will not be attending this year... Okay, I'll admit that if Ebbie and KT had committed I prolly would have made more effort but the blues duo of wnich I am half is playing just about every weekend somewhere and this is the case with the Getaway weekend... Yeah, I'll miss the heck outta the folks who know perfectly well who they are so no reason to go down the list... You know who you are... But, hopefully, next year... Sniff...

Not only Janie will miss you -- I was looking forward to talking recipes 'n' Renaissance faires with you. And Bobert, you were another reason I wanted to come all the way from California. I so want to hear you play! If I come again next year, do you both promise to show up? Claire |
