Just back in civilisation from the Poconos for a few minutes before Joe turns up to whisk us away on another whirlwind tour of meeting and hearing so many wonderful Folks!!

Really enjoyed Dave's concert and apologise for us turning up late from Portsmouth, our fault, there were so many goodbyes to make!!

Thanks to Deborah and Dave for their hospitality and also to Mary for all looking after us so well! Thanks too to Jacqui who got us to the coach for our connection on MondaY.

So lovely to hear Maeve, so glad she sang for us, such a good voice & great songs! You must sing out more maeve!!!

Hope to meet again one day, meanwhile safe journeys!!!

Hmmm..."working for a living...) I'm certainly working. Living, too.

The coffeehouse begins at 7pm and costs $7, $5 for Seniors and students. Nice write-up here

Plenty of time to drive from South Portland area. I'm using our grocery money. I suspect the Library won't barter for perennials, but then I haven't asked. You could bring some books and try a trade.

Dave Goulder will be singing tomorrow at Camden Public Library in Camden, Maine. I believe this is the last chance to see and hear Dave during this tour. If you missed his thoroughly enjoyable performance (and that of Mary and their good friend Ken) at the South Portland house concert on Sunday, this is well worth a drive. If you were there on Sunday, this is still worth a drive. PM for more information.

You know you'd have been made welcome, John.

I'm still humming and smiling; spilling over with delight with the folk and the music. I've said it before, but it's worth the retelling: This is a special community with local kindness and music drawing in treasured visitors and friends from afar... such a wealth of songs and people were gathered together last night!

Sins, my friends who got me there are 2 from down the road and the next town crosslots from our farm- Brigid and Linda.

Thank you to those who gave encouragement for the singing I could offer last night. This is THE place where I can try out songs, and I am grateful. Thank you to Sinsull, Jacqui and Kendall, Deborah and Tom...and the rest of yez.

I hope to see our out-of-town visitors before they vanish again.

Dave, Mary and Ken actually ended up staying with Deborah and Tom. We finally sorted out sleeping arrangements after everyone but Tami and Jason left. Doesn't Ken have an incredible voice? This was one of the best evenings ever. Again - thank Deborah and Tom.

One of the best evenings ever!

The food WAS good - particularly the divine chicken curry that Tom Coward made.

I had been a little concerned that maybe we wouldn't get a decent turnout for Dave but we finished up with a total of 18 people in Deb's sitting room for a terrific performance from a consummate performer.

Dave seemed to be enjoying himself, which is always a plus, and will be welcome back to do another concert whenever he can.

We heard some great voices joining in the choruses and were treated to some lovely solo performances from the company during the all too short singaround that followed Dave's performance.

An evening like this makes all the work worthwhile.

Many thanks to Deb and Tom for hosting this concert on such short notice. We are so lucky that they and Mary are wiling to open their houses as venues for these events.

Thanks to Mary for providing beds for Hilary and Richard and Dave and his party.

What an amazing evening. All sorts of people showed up including KT! That was a shock. With her sister whi is a local - also a shock. Mark with his wife - we haven't seen Mark in over a year. Mia Boynton, an old friend from the Getaway. I hauled Hillary and Richard up from Portsmouth. Jason and Tami, Kendall and Jacqui, maeve and her friend, Gordon, the British lady I want to call Cassandra but that's not her name. Dave was in top form - everything from dry stone to walls to Ode To Joy on the jew's harp. Mary harmonizing. Lots of song sharing later - how wonderful to have TWO songs from maeve! Well done, Tom and Deborah.

I may be bringing three friends with me tomorrow night rather than just two, Jacqui.

Will there be raisins in the oatmeal cookies? I love raisins in my oatmeal cookies. I also love oatmeal cookies without raisins. Come to think of it, I don't think I ever met an oatmeal cookie I didn't like...

I don't know how late I can stay since I'm not the driver this time. We will have been hard at work building a drystone wall with Dave the day before. I'll ask to stay for a little of the song circle.

We can probably put back the actual concert to 7.00pm - we really wanted to make sure that it wasn't too late a night for those who have to work the next day.

It's about a 45 minute drive from Portsmouth so if those that want to come take off sharpish when the festivities end there shouldn't be a problem.

wish it could have been another day, but that was the only one that suited Dave.

South Portland, Maine.

House concert by Dave Goulder at TRUBRIT's.

Pot luck supper from 5.30pm. Concert from 6.30pm.

This is the same weekend as the Portsmouth Maritime Festival, but was the only date that Dave had available and was too good an opportunity to miss.
