April 30 will be tough for me and the mayor ..... we are heading out to the UK for a few days on May 6 and I anticipate being frantic..........but we will try!

David was WONDERFUL......

I will be there. And there are beds at my place if the southern contingent needs them. Friday will be tough for Linn and Tom - the Press Room session.

Sue and I greatly enjoyed the evening, too-- David Jones was an absolute delight with his richly expressive singing, entrancing storytelling, and hilarious humour.

We only wish we could have stayed for the late-night session, but our desire to indulge was trumped by our tendency towards "farmer's hours."

Anybody up for a hearty singaround about 1/2 hour north of SINSULL's, to be held at our farm in Pownal? We're thinking of Friday, April 30th, roughly 6 PM - 11 PM. Proposed theme would be Agricultural balladry and Songs of the Land. Bonus for anyone who can get the cows to sing along!

I found eggs in the fridge that aren't mine - thank you Jeri. I will enjoy them. And who belongs to the tasteless wine coaster and stopper left on the kitchen table?
We are not amused!

Thanks to all, I had a great time. Great to see messages from Herga Kitty and Mary from Seaford, I spend a lot of time in the UK now as I have a great big boat moored in Ely, near Cambridge, so hope to visit their clubs. Hope everyone turns out for Martyn W. Reed on April 17th, he is the best.

What a talent. I had had a short night followed by a long day and then a splitting headache so couldn't stay for the sing around, but I'm glad I went. David is always a treasure.

Mary, I left my beautiful eggs in your fridge. Please eat them or give them to somebody who will. It's almost worth a trip back up there, but not quite. I am going to sleep VERY well tonight!

I'm really impressed by not only David's talent and repertoire but by his his ability to maintain that congenial but professional demeanor when confronted with... us. Thank you Mary, thank you David.

Bert and I over breakfast was great too. I always prefer the morning after activities. A bunch of tired folkies sitting around slightly rumpled telling tales of long ago - usually pretty hilarious stuff involving famous names before they were who they are now.

So good to have Tom back with his concertina. Kendall and Tom's Vaudeville skit with the microphone was not to be missed. "Gimme that F@#$^%$#in' thing!!" LOL

Seamus and I took a nap and now are debating whether to tackle the dishes or just break them and get new ones.

Another excellent evening with a first class performer, who kept us entranced for the whole evening. He impressed Kendall with his ability to tell jokes, which would tell you how good he is. A lovely informal session that I had to leave too early, really. Many thanks though, to TRUBRIT and Tom, for the lift home - Kendall left earlier, being totally worn out.

As Mary said - good food, good company.

The singing revived. I remember a lot of show tunes, songs from the depression, some traditional stuff. Old Man River will never be the same.
We missed you Maeve. David was in rare form. The audience thoroughly enjoyed him. Great food. Good company.
More later. Breakfast is being served.

Maeve-

Singing may well have revived but JudyB and myself left at 10 pm, after a wonderful concert and a little bit of singing and talking.

Kendall was certainly in good spirits. And it was great to see Tom and Linn again. And Tami had a tasteful birthday celebration, the cake as well as the birthday serenading.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

Speaking of whom, was that a sort of informative little non-sequitur or were you really suggesting that hideobilia would be pawned off on Kathy?

Warning for all: I am attempting to declutter, and all hideobilia will be politely refused. Besides, the hideobilia frequently includes something that freaks out my already nervous, paranoid dog.

Kathy is planning on attending.

I'll miss being there, Sinsull. It's not worth anyone going out of their way on my behalf. I expect it will be a while before I can go anywhere with what we're trying to sort out.

Have a wonderful time, everyone. My regards to David Jones who doesn't know me from a newt, but whose music I admire greatly.

Judy's hoping she doesn't get tied up with a Saturday Legislative work session.

This will be a really good evening. The weather is supposed to be dry and in the 50s.

Now - who's bringing what?
We have quiche from Jason and a main ciurse from Tom.
There will be a birthday cake and ice cream.

I will do a main course - maybe Tortollini Alfredo.
