|
Subject: RE: Getaway News --- Please .. whats on .... From: ClaireBear Date: 19 May 10 - 04:39 PM Already looking forward, myself. It will be wonderful to see you, Mary (maybe even in Maine, too) -- and Bruce of course, who is right about sleeping. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway News --- Please .. whats on .... From: beardedbruce Date: 19 May 10 - 04:41 PM Actually, I wasted time sleeping myself- but I certainly did not ARRANGE to do so- it just caught up with me. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway News --- Please .. whats on .... From: SINSULL Date: 19 May 10 - 04:45 PM Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise. So I go to bed at 4AM and get up at 6AM and stagger around for a few days. |

From: Bill D Date: 19 May 10 - 06:21 PM The local (When the Getaway was really 92.418% local, we often didn't get really into gear until August...and a lot of the planning still doesn't happen until then.) I'm sure Nancy will pop on with what she knows... (no doubt some ideas have been tossed about about guests who might be available.) |

And speaking of people I'd like to meet,would someone please get the word out to Mmario's family that if any of them plans to get born, baptized, married or buried the first weekend in October, then they're jolly well going to do it in West River, Maryland? Thank you. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: ClaireBear Date: 19 May 10 - 07:10 PM Hey now -- Bobert's shown up as advertised twice in a row now. All those adoring floozies must be habit-forming. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Amos Date: 19 May 10 - 07:23 PM Wal, the WHOLE truth is Bobez only came part-time last year. And did nothing all day but hound me for weed!! Sheeshe!! Just cuz I come from California he thinks.... |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Rapparee Date: 19 May 10 - 08:54 PM Well, don't go hounding me for potatoes just because I come from Idaho. Or sheep either, for that matter. As far as I can tell right now, barring strikes, earthquakes, medical problems and other things over which I have almost no control, I'll be there. Yes, I can bring a rapier...but a dagger would be more convenient. (My wife is making me go. Really. She told me to.) |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Nancy King Date: 19 May 10 - 09:12 PM Well, the bottom line is, yes, it's too soon to ask. As Bill pointed out, a lot of FSGW folks have to get through the Festival before they can even begin to thnk about planning the Getaway. That said, rest assured the the planning HAS begun. We are in the process of lining up our official invited guests (not as simple a task as it might seem, since we can't pay them anything), and have so far confirmed Debby McClatchy, Caroline Paton, Linnea Palmer Paton, and Molly Andrews. More are pending. In a few weeks we'll be asking for workshop suggestions, so get your thinking caps on. Rapaire, I'm delighted to hear you'll be joining us this year! And it sounds as if we'll have a lot of other fine folks returning. Please do, in fact, let us know if you intend to come -- it helps with the planning. Menus? You gotta be kidding, Mary! We have NOTHING to do with that, fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your point of view. Sleeping arrangements? What exactly is it that you want to know? I expect the arrangements will be pretty much as they have been in the past, but Jennifer can't even begin to think about that until all the registrations are in, etc. Speaking of registrations, a few decisions have yet to be made before we can put the registration form on line, and those decisions won't be made until July, in all likelihood. So cool yer jets, folks, and relax in the certain knowledge that it will be totally fabulous, as usual. Looking forward to seeing you all in October! Nancy |

|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: SINSULL Date: 20 May 10 - 11:58 AM Too soon for FSGW but I am getting reservations for pre- and post-Getaway beds. PM me if you plan to stop off in Maine so I can plan sleeping space. I do plan on taking some time off from work so this should be fun. SINS |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Rapparee Date: 20 May 10 - 12:41 PM Should I bring a sleeping bag? Are there showers with hot water? Indoor plumbing? Toilet paper? Private bedrooms with valet service? What is the usual tip of the concierge? Will there be an adequate stock of various potables? Do I have to sew name tags in all of my clothes? |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: SINSULL Date: 20 May 10 - 12:44 PM Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. No. $.0. YES.Only if you plan to take them home. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Bill D Date: 20 May 10 - 01:12 PM "Will there be an adequate stock of various potables?" When I was in Wichita, I sometimes ate at the 3rd Pizza Hut ever opened...before a standard 'look'. They rented space in a ex-restaurant space on the 2nd floor of a building near the university. One night, a friend brought in a bottle of red wine (they didn't even serve beer!) and set it on the table. Soon a BIG waiter came stalking over, looked sternly at the fellow and announced..."You're not allowed to have that in here!..so will you please keep it under the table?" This is a Methodist camp... the rules will be explianed... |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Desert Dancer Date: 20 May 10 - 01:16 PM Not that it'll do me any good, but someone might be wondering: DATES? |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: beardedbruce Date: 20 May 10 - 01:18 PM No, I usually bring crystalized ginger and licorice. Is there a call for dates, as well? |

|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Nancy King Date: 20 May 10 - 01:30 PM Rap -- Mary has answered your questions accurately, if over-succinctly. If transporting a sleeping bag is a problem, as it often is for folks coming from a long way off, let us know closer to the date and we'll be sure someone brings extra bedding you can use. On the matter of "potables," please check out this thread, in which things on this topic are spelled out pretty well. Nancy |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Amos Date: 20 May 10 - 02:13 PM Public drunkenness is theoretically impossible, and also frowned upon... |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Genie Date: 20 May 10 - 02:22 PM "Potables," of course, includes fruit juice, coffee, tea, water, soda, milk -- you know, the kind of beverages most folkies usually consume. Rap, Rapaire - the outhouses are heated and usually have a full supply of Sears catalogues on the floor too. You may be expected to slip the valets (Big Mick, Bobert, Amos, Bruce, etc.) a little sump'n (like a potable or a special favor) but it's not a law. And you don't have to sew name tags in your clothes unless you plan to shed them in places other than your bunk room. (Maybe during the floozy dance at Bobert's Blues Band?) |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Amos Date: 20 May 10 - 02:36 PM Encouraging him in such matters is ill-advised, Genie. A tall beefy man well past middle age, Rapaire is not something to see shedding his garments. On the other hand, maybe he and Lonesome can partner up and bring about a dual-moon system (or if the weather gets chilly, a Blue Moon event). A |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Fortunato Date: 20 May 10 - 03:18 PM Susette and I won't be having the pre-getaway party, but we plan to come to the Getaway. After the Getaway we head to Richmond to play a concert in the Heritage Series at the Hanover Tavern. Booked by our agent in central Va, Mary Smith. http://www.hanovertavern.org/ Wednesday, October 6th. Come on down. regards, Chance |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Alaska Mike Date: 20 May 10 - 04:25 PM As I mentioned in my "Florida Mike" thread, Tawmmie and I have retired and moved to Florida where we now swim in our very own pool every day. We will DEFINITELY be attending the Getaway in October. It will be so good to see our friends once again. Mike |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: ClaireBear Date: 21 May 10 - 02:19 PM I'm starting a wish list: along with Maeve, I'd add Skarpi, Mmario, Brett and Wakana, Katlaughing...and of course a score of others, but I'm just starting with a few Catters I haven't met yet who I know have indicated an interest (realistic or otherwise) in coming to the Getaway, this year or in the recent past. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: SINSULL Date: 21 May 10 - 02:25 PM Skarpi is in. But not Brett and Wakana or kat. Haven't heard from Leo. Micca is in. Gutbucketeer says he may make it. Alaska Mike and Tawmmie. Olddude. Leadfingers. KT and Ebbie. And many more. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Charmion Date: 24 May 10 - 08:48 AM Edmund and I are in, barring the ascent of any geopolitical balloons. I have yearned these many years for an opportunity to meet the great Rapaire, swashbuckler of the Idaho libraries. After the Getaway, we will be on the loose for a few days before heading north for a family wedding -- Edmund's eldest niece. Who knows what might happen? Not us! |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: GUEST,mmario Date: 24 May 10 - 05:53 PM As far as I know there are no impending births, weddings or baptisms; deaths are our of my hands. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Charley Noble Date: 24 May 10 - 07:56 PM We'll be coming back from a musical tour of the UK but why not just continue on to DC. Who cares if our house is falling apart and the tenants and kittens are at each other's throats? Oh, yes, Judy cares..... Cheerily, Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: ClaireBear Date: 24 May 10 - 08:14 PM Don, last year's full fare (event; lodgings for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights; breakfast Saturday, Sunday and Monday; lunch and dinner Saturday and Sunday) cost $193, a very reasonable price it seems to me. The Getaway page mentions that scholarships are available -- at least they were last year; the site hasn't been updated for this year yet -- and I know that other ways to save a few bucks (for example, committing to an upper bunk) were also listed on the registration form, which of course isn't up yet for this year. Hope I'm not speaking too hastily... C |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: katlaughing Date: 24 May 10 - 08:34 PM It's a lovely dream and I long for the day I can watch live coverage of it, barring my Rog retiring long enough to drive out there with me after we hit the jackpot, in more ways than one. **BG** Quite a line-up so far! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: ClaireBear Date: 24 May 10 - 08:39 PM Maybe someday we'll have that western Mudgather in your backyard, Kat, so you can join in the fun! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: katlaughing Date: 24 May 10 - 09:51 PM Thanks, ClaireBear, I hope we'd need more room than my backyard and one loo, but we'd make it work regardless!:-) And, when I get the next book published and sold with the next one in its final edit, well, who knows..,some select readers have really loved it already, so it could go somewhere and then we'd really be able to be a bit more footloose and fancy-free! This is or something better for the highest good of all concerned. kat |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Rapparee Date: 24 May 10 - 11:01 PM There was a thread on a Western Mudgather couple years back. I offered Pocatello, then suggested other places. It would not be all that difficult to find a place for it here in Idaho or Western Wyoming. How about MOAB, Utah? |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Rapparee Date: 24 May 10 - 11:02 PM By the way, would it be possible to ship a box of stuff to and fro so I wouldn't have to take my trumpet, valve oil and so on on the plane? |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Janie Date: 24 May 10 - 11:12 PM Rap, Yes. Folk Trumpet? J. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: katlaughing Date: 24 May 10 - 11:23 PM Naw, Rapaire, let's save that for another/the other thread. Not much in the way of travel is possible for me for now...just musing and shouldn't have brought it up. Now, back to your *trumpet??* |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Rapparee Date: 25 May 10 - 10:45 AM Yes? It's a silver-plated C. G. Conn, made in 1929 in Elkhart, Ind., USA. I bought it (used) in 1964. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Micca Date: 25 May 10 - 04:43 PM Skarpi, if you fly into New York, from Pennsylvania Station the train (Acela Express or the North East local) goes to Baltimore and Washington DC direct and one of those nice FSGW folks might be able to arrange for you to be met. |

Art, it's nice to know you might have room for someone my size in your car if you drive, but I'm curious as to how that swinging by Boston en route from Arizona to the Baltimore area thing works. Leo, I really hope you can make it. It'll be great to meet some of the Mudcatters I haven't met yet and see some familiar faces from 2008 as well. Genie |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: GUEST,Gene and Sandra Date: 27 May 10 - 10:58 PM 5/27/10 NEWS ! NEWS ! NEWS! Regarding this years pre Getaway party .. Some of you might remember Sandra and Gene (Adelphi Records)--that's us.. at the end of the Getaway last year proposing (threatening!) a seriously wonderful 2010 pre-event hoodoo at our newly renovated digs. {We live less than a mile away from Suzette and Chance's previous place.} Here's Gene with the lowdown.. The party itself will start at the standard 7:30 ish PM. However the event will begin at around noon of the same day. We're calling it the "Great Maryland Hoodoo Crab and Music Bash". There will be two instructional workshops: a beginners and an intermediate level regarding the does and donts, the hows, wherefores and whyfores concerning the art of cooking, opening, shelling and of course eating of the various parts of the world renown maryland blue crab.( By the way early arrivals get to meet them live before they get to eat them.) We're also planning on providing crash space for at least several persons or couples. Sleeping is obviously optional as are PJs :-) More on this as we get closer to the Getaway date. Those who need a place to crash please contact us by e-mail personally-- slkoppel@yahoo.com Priority to overseas visitors first..west coast, hawaii and alaska count as overseas. Best from Sandra and Gene-- stay tuned. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Bobert Date: 28 May 10 - 07:37 AM Sorry, KT... I musta been smoked up when I wrote "No need for weed"... Of course, there's always need for weed and seein' as "Amops" lives in Potafornia I just figured he take a duffle bag into his corner weed shop and tell the folks there to "Fill 'er up!!!" and bring it with him... BTW, we're still lookin' fir a "chick" singer for BobertsBluesBand and, unlike the other ladies in the band, the chick singer don't necessarially have to have a big bottom... Of course. we do add a few points to the application if she does but it isn't a strict requirment... B~ |

Can someone please post a link where I can get details and booking form. thanks |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: jacqui.c Date: 28 May 10 - 09:04 AM Cats - there will be no need for you to be 'kept an eye on', trust me. So long as you are comfortable with a camp full of lunatics you'll be right at home. Bring the photos, anyway. |

Amos, thanks for your kind words, however, I reckon I've always leaned toward the "camp full of lunatics" side rather than the "always been in" side. Hils, I'm afraid that "no" isn't going to work this year. You must find a way!! Micca? DO something! Bobert....hmmm....I'll have to think about that....

From: Severn Date: 28 Jun 10 - 09:01 PM The church people haven't read all this yet, or else we'd have heard from them, but I've gotten word from unnamed sources that the CIA has taken an interest from tapping somebody's weak cheap cell phone, and the reaction around headquarters went something like this: "What! You say that these people are funneling money into the protesting Methodista rebels?" "It appears so, sir." "Appears so? Just what ARE these people protesting?" "Ants, sir. They're said to protest ants. There was a lot of static, sir..." "Nonsense! You must mean Anty-War. An Anty-War would be downright insecticidal! We Must stop them. We'll fly a chopper overhead and send a couple of our people in to investigate. And be on the lookout for roaches. Where there are ants, there usually roaches, so we can convict them on that. Watch out for these folks. They're very methodical, to say the least..." "Yes, sir! We'll get on it right away. I know some people in the World Folk Music Association that can lend us some clothes." ....There it is, folks!, Try and sing over the chopper noise, and if you see a couple with a buzz cut and a beehive with matching his and hers New Christy Minstrels T-shirts , wearing wing tips and pumps respectively with their shorts, at least make sure you charge them the admission. And be careful with any roaches.... "Those are not roaches, sir. They're Palmetto Bugs...." |

I'd love to do a CW workshop of some kind during the weekend.

From: Lonesome EJ Date: 08 Jul 10 - 01:47 PM Anyone who attended my "Tribute to Gordon Lightfoot" medley of his entire song catalog will be interested to hear that I will again attempt this monumental salute on Saturday of the Getaway. Last year's effort was plagued by technical difficulties, including a broken b string, a swarm of pelicans, and an offshore breeze which blew the lyrics for Old Dan's Records into Chesapeake Bay. I had also failed to allow for the full 7 1/2 hours required for completion, and though I soldiered on after it was too dark to see the music sheets, I must apologize to those who pointed out to me that If You Could Read my Mind does not contain a line comparing the doomed relationship to a disabled rowboat anchored in the Niagara River 50 feet from the Falls. So pack a lunch, bring your laptop or something to read, and we'll meet under the gazebo just north of Worship Isolation Tent. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Alaska Mike Date: 11 Jul 10 - 07:25 AM Jed mentioned the war ship that England sold to the Confederacy. It was the CS Shenandoah and it worked mainly in Alaskan waters trying to wipe out the Yankee whaling fleet. When I tried to find a song about it there were none, so I wrote one that turned out pretty decent. A Civil War song workshop would be one of many that I will look forward to. Mike |

For Susette and I it's the first time the Getaway will actually be 'away'. It will be good to see Alaska Mike again, the 'barefoot' folksinger. I'm sure meeting Repaire will be an experience. MMario may surprise us with his presence, I understand, as well. Leadfingers Terry is on the bill also. The Getaway must have something with folks willing to come a long way, time after time. I missed the Gordon Lightfoot extravaganza last year, EJ, so please let me know when you're doing that, I want to be there. Hello to all from Hanlon Mt. see you at the getaway. |

We plan to scoot over to Michigan after Getaway weekend to visit with the grandkids. Jed, I listened to your song and liked it very much. Mine is called Shenandoah Roll on Home.

I did manage to rejoin FSGW, though. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Nancy King Date: 20 Jul 10 - 10:39 AM Art, this year's application form is not yet on line. Sorry! We expect to have it up before long, hopefully within a few days. The person who has to get it in is busy putting the FSGW August Newsletter together. Volunteer organizations tend to overstretch the same people a lot! In any case, there's no huge hurry to get your registration in -- any time in the next few weeks will be fine. We're glad you're planning to come! --Nancy |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Amos Date: 26 Jul 10 - 08:57 PM Thanks to the intrepid Ernie Johnson, who coined the chorus and impetus, we now have a song for GEtaway 2010. The tune is a raggy oldtimey sorta thang. CHO: Lord willing and the creek don't rise, I'm going to the Getaway. Out where the lonesome seagull cries, on the edge of the Chesapeake Bay All the folks stay up all night, Making music 'til the rooster cries, Lord willing and the creek don't rise, I'm going to the Getaway. I've gone to work most every day The whole dang year it seems Trying to forget the singing sounds That show up in my dreams I've been through bitter winter months And hellish summer days And now by God, I've had enough, I'm going to the Getaway CHO I long to see a country road That leads up the shore With folkies wandering 'cross the fields, Two hundred souls or more. I hunger for the songs they sing And the funny things they say, So mister, stamp my ticket quick, I'm going to the Getaway! CHO I want to hear old Bobert shout The blues when they're done right. And watch Big Mick put the Irish out When he gets a little tight I want to hear sweet Liz LaPrelle Hold the whole place in her sway. By God I'm done with the working life, I am going to the Getaway. CHO When I get there I'll drink all night, And sing a thousand tunes And if I watch the windows right, Catch sight of Ernie's moon! I'll listen to the cowboy songs While the ladies dance and play. Be still my heart, I'm off to start And I'm going to the Getaway! (CHO, turnaround repeat on last two lines) |

The very first, tentative try at a schedule grid won't even be attempted for another couple of weeks. We'll try to have a preliminary workshop list shortly after that. We're still gathering responses from some folks, and are having a bit of trouble getting together because committee members keep going out of town for things like family vacations and folk music weeks. Tsk, tsk... Never fear, it'll be great! Nancy |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Genie Date: 14 Aug 10 - 04:46 AM Aw, geez, guys! Yer makin' it sound like this is a Getaway not to be missed! But I'll prolly have to 'cuz I'm not sure I can still get a reasonable frequent flyer deal. And there's also the thing about getting from the airport to the camp site. I'll look into the airline thing, but if anyone else is flying in Thursday or Friday and wants to carpool from the airport, please let me know. If I can make it, I want to swing by Raleigh, NC, either on the way out or the way back. DK if anyone is driving to or from that area, but it would be great to carpool if that's an option. OTOH, if'n there ain't gonna be no Bobert's Blues Band extravaganza, Getaway jes' won't seem the same. (Maybe we can do that there Bobert's Bad Band thing?) G |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Janie Date: 14 Aug 10 - 09:05 AM Genie, Hope you are able to make it. Raleigh would not be much a detour for me on my way home, and I'd be happy to give you a ride. Janie |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: artbrooks Date: 14 Aug 10 - 09:10 AM Genie, if your sister (?) wants to swing up to Henderson again, we can cut a deal. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Amos Date: 14 Aug 10 - 12:30 PM Genie: I will probably make an airport run friday morning for LEJ and would be happy to have you come too if you're needing a ride. PM me your ETA (this is BWI I am talking about) and your cellphone number if you want. A |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: ClaireBear Date: 14 Aug 10 - 12:37 PM I can't do a thing to help as I'll be driving down from Maine in a full car, but it sure would be great to see you, Genie! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Bill D Date: 14 Aug 10 - 01:50 PM "...no Bobert's Blues Band extravaganza,..." NOT? nawww... in the late evenings, there can be any sort of extravaganza folks put together, in several locations. Why there are even genteel ballad singing extravaganzas...not that 'some' folks would ever realize it..*grin* |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Genie Date: 14 Aug 10 - 03:51 PM Thanks, Janie, Amos, Art, etc. That info gives me some coordinates to work from in booking flights. Art & Janie, if you can let me know whether you're driving from NC to the Getaway or back after the Getaway, that will help. I could maybe fly to and from RDU and skip the DC area airports. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Janie Date: 14 Aug 10 - 05:02 PM Genie, I'm driving both ways and am glad to offer a ride both ways. The return trip on Monday would pose no problems. Friday, however, I am leaving early afternoon from work, which is in Roxboro. Roxboro is up near the VA/NC border and about 45-60 minutes west of I-85, too far out of the way for me to pick you up in Raleigh or at RDU. Roxboro is also 45-50 minutes north-northeast of where I live. If you would like to spend the night with me on Thursday, ride to Roxboro with me, and take the car to putz around until noon on Friday, you would be more than welcome to do so. I should tell you that Roxboro is a poor, rural milltown and there are not a ton of ways to amuse yourself for 4 hours. They do have a library! The return trip would not be a problem, since I will be headed for home and not to Roxboro. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Susan A-R Date: 14 Aug 10 - 08:24 PM I'm gonna miss it again, the irony being that I fly OUT of DC on the first (contra dance band rehearsals, and a cat who is ready to kill me after most of the summer away. Is there the usual party the Thursday before in the DC area?? Also, I did get great ticket prices to fly in and out of National, so it's worth checking with travelocity and the like. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Genie Date: 18 Aug 10 - 08:51 PM The Sandrolin pre-Getaway Crab- and Music-Fest sounds like a real happening, and I'd love to be there for that. The good news is that I was able to get a RT ticket for only a few $ using my Southwest Rapid Rewards points - and that SWA lets you change your itinerary as often as you like w/o a fee, as long as they have availability for those tickets on the days you want. The bad news is that if I were to fly into BWI any time that week, I'd probably end up arriving at about 11:30 PM. They don't seem to have any flights from PDX that would get there earlier. So if I could arrive Wed. night, to be there for the bash at Sandrolin's, I'd have to figure out how to get to Silver Spring and where to stay Wed. night (unless they let ya sleep at the airport). Right now I'm booked to fly into NC and plan to ride up from there, which is cool. I just wish there was a way to be in two places at the same time. Anyways I'm really looking forward to seeing the Getawat 'old timers' and meeting some of you 'Catters who weren't there in 2008. I might even have to buy a floozie dress fer Bobert's Blues hoedown. (Or is that "ho down?") |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Genie Date: 20 Aug 10 - 12:08 AM Bobertz, jes' wundrin' when's the last time ya shopped at a GoodWill. Nowadays yer lucky if you can find a garment for $3 that's a red-tag half-price special. LOL But I'll give it the ol' barroom try. Salvation Army might be a better bet -- or, better yet, a yard sale! Anyway, somewheres in my closet I gots ta have somethin flooze-worthy. (Only question is, can I still git into it) Terry, thanks for the info about contacting Sandolin.

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Janie Date: 05 Sep 10 - 10:41 AM A reminder about the silent auction. Funds raised through the silent auction are used to provide scholarships to the Getaway. Many of us have had years when it was the scholarships that made it possible for us to attend. So....bring something to put in the auction, don't forget to check out the auction, and bid early and often on items you might like to take home! The lay-out at West River means there is no longer an optimal location for the auction, where people can browse without climbing over top of people in the area for other reasons, or without intruding on a workshop being held in the same space. Because of the lack of a PA system in the cafeteria, it is also hard to make general announcements and reminders, including a reminder about when the auction will close so people can make final bids, (and reminders to come and pay and get what you won before leaving.) One result is there has been a big drop-off in the funds raised by the auction since moving to West River. I'd love to see that change this year! Janie |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Genie Date: 05 Sep 10 - 07:13 PM Aw, Dan, Getaway will be noticeably less bright without Kiran there! (Not to disparage you and Geeta, but I'm sure you're used to being upstaged by him by now.) Janie, I've got some things to bring for the auction. (Fortunately, Southwest still allows 2 checked bags and your two basic carry-ons with no extra charge.) But are you saying there's no sound system for the concert or do you just mean no P A for mealtime announcements? (I can easily bring a very small battery-powered amp and mic for announcements if that will help.) |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Janie Date: 05 Sep 10 - 07:25 PM There hasn't been a PA for the cafeteria, which is the only place people are centrally gathered except for the Saturday night concert. Before you bring anything, though, check with Charlie Baum. They may have plans for that this year. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Janie Date: 05 Sep 10 - 08:48 PM Just reread my last post, Genie. When I said check with Charlie, I was referring to amplification for the cafeteria. |

I also have some extra sleeping bags. We seemed to accumulate a new one each year my son went to camp. Who needs one? PM me or write Swallowtailjig at yahoo and I'll bring you one. I can offer overnight accomodations for a few 'catters on WEDNESDAY night (not Thursday) but not transportation to the events as I won't have the seats in my car.

From: Amos Date: 24 Sep 10 - 09:27 PM It's really amazing to think about--all over the nation and oher nations people are undergoing huge inconvenience, aches and pains of toting bags and travel, to converge on this little leafy glen in the backwaters of Maryland to spend three days eating so-so food and sleep in hard racks...for the pleasure of hearing each other sing. Now that is really somp'n, I am here to say!! Put we picked 'em where we larned 'em, And for that Getaway I would foller Morse on a sway-back horse To hell, come any day!

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Charmion Date: 25 Sep 10 - 01:55 PM Up in the Ottawa Valley, the plan is complete. Laundry is churning even as I type, so we'll have something to wear when we get there, and the dreaded List (stuff not to forget) is under construction. Cute as it is, the new car is smaller than the (much missed) indigo-blue station wagon, so the stowage geometry of instruments, bedding and baggage has yet to be worked out. We leave after work on Thursday, flop for the night somewhere near Syracuse NY, and arrive on Friday. |

Not sure if I'll be able to bring my 3/4 size guitar, but I know I won't want to travel with a full-size one, because I don't have a heavy-duty baggage-handler-proof case. I may bring an extra washboard or two - in case anyone wants to do some hand laundry between jug band sessions. Genie |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: CupOfTea Date: 27 Sep 10 - 06:33 PM ok. I'm excited. After hearing about the Getaway for decades, I'm going to my first one. Woot! I have such great memories of the folks from the DC area from when Folk Annoyance..er.. Alliance was there. That was one of the few times at Folk Alliance when traditional singers got a decent space and drew fantastic people to sing together - making it about folk music rather than the "industry" I'd met 'em before, but that event alone made me love Judy & Dennis Cook. I'm looking forward to putting faces and voices to some of the names I've read here. I figure being new, YOU are more likely to figure out who *I* am than viceyversy, so please do introduce yourself to the wide woman from Cleveland who will usually be seen with a mug of tea in hand. I'm a bit nervous, too... will my throat cooperate? Will my fingers behave? Will I forget lyrics I've known for 25 years the way I do at an open mic? It'll be an adventure, anyhow, and a chance to see beloved friends like Caroline, Sally Rogers, the Cooks, and a chance to meet new people who may be my next decade's beloved voices. Joanne in Cleveland who is packing all the weird instruments JUST in case... |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Nancy King Date: 27 Sep 10 - 08:21 PM Art -- you bet it is! (I'll try to arrive early enough to get some...) Jerry -- Sinners are allowed in ALL workshops. Otherwise, none of us could go to any of them. PLEASE NOTE that we will be asking folks to sign up for specific tasks this year. Many long years ago, when we did our own cooking (no longer possible), each camper was required to sign up for two hours of (mostly kitchen) work. We no longer need that level of commitment, BUT in order to avoid the problem of the same people doing everything, AND to make sure the necessary tasks are accomplished, we will ask everyone who doesn't already have to a job (auction ladies, you already have jobs -- thanks!) to sign up to do a specific chore at a specific time. Many of these jobs won't even take a whole hour to complete, but they ARE important! Stuff like making sure the snack-and-drink table in the Retreat Center is stocked and clean, helping to set up/clean up after the midnight snacks, manning the registration table -- stuff like that. Sounds like we'll have a lot of new folks this year, in addition to a whole bunch of old friends. Hooray! --Nancy |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Bill D Date: 27 Sep 10 - 08:44 PM Oh my... I can see our 'success' at attracting people from all over the country and the world to the Getaway has created some awkward situations as new folks decide to 'try it'. A few years ago, when we had just a few who drove in from 'up North' it was relatively easy...and when we had 2 vans full of English chantey singers, we knew about it months in advance and organized lots of locals to provide both housing and bedding...etc. The problem is, many 'locals' never look at Mudcat, and have to be called or the requests printed in the previous months newsletter. I have picked up folks from 2 different airports in the past...especially when BWI was right on my way. This year, I have logistics problems that prevent me from personally collecting folks. I WILL ask about and see if I can locate a ride for Clare P. in Chevy Chase, but it's short notice. We need to work out a 'system'....*wry smile* I really hate for a prospective good time for folks become a tedious adventure in just getting there. Important to keep in mind... this is not a Mudcat event....Mudcat is just one way folks hear about it. **Hello all you locals who occasionally read Mudcat!** Can anyone help either Clare in Chevy Chase OR go by BWI on Friday eve.? |

The workshop will be a demonstration of how different singers have approached her poems. Please send me a PM if you're interested in leading a particular poem as a song. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News - Please, what's on? From: Genie Date: 29 Sep 10 - 12:43 AM Abby, I PM'd you about possible ride sharing. You should PM Janie if she doesn't PM you first. There could be something workable. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: KT Date: 29 Sep 10 - 01:21 AM yay, Abby! Bruce, don't bring that 5 string on my account. Though I do feel like all thumbs when I attempt to play Banjo, they're all on my right hand. Now, ginger, on the other hand...... |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Linda Goodman Zebooker Date: 29 Sep 10 - 08:29 AM Being awake in the morning for workshops is not hard for me. One of my (so many) favorite things about the Getaway is the singing finally stopping and you realize the sky is getting light. You think about taking a wee nap, but then the sunrise colors on the water are so beautiful. A cup of coffee and you've convinced your brain you slept like a baby. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Tinker Date: 29 Sep 10 - 08:31 AM I'm starting my journey this year from a bit farther north... I'm spending the next few days at Holy Cross Monastery on the Hudson where all practice the great silence from the end of Compline (9pm)til 8:30 am... On Friday I'll leave here and head to Getaway, hmmm think there'll be any culture shock? |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: ClaireBear Date: 29 Sep 10 - 08:47 AM Tink, I think that sounds like the perfect week. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: KT Date: 29 Sep 10 - 08:58 AM Lovely, Tink! And you'll be in really good (well-rested) voice! Have a good retreat! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Charley Noble Date: 29 Sep 10 - 09:31 AM I'm thinking of attending the challenging chorus workshop on Sunday. This stevedore tribute song by Edward J. Brady from the Sydney docks in Australia might be a prime candidate: ---------C------------------G---C Now it's yakker, yakker, yak-ker, ------G-----C--------------G--C For your drop o' beer an' bacca, ----F----------------------C-----------------Dm---------------F To earn your bloomin' clobber an' the bit o' tuck you eat, ----------------C--------------G/C When you're layin' on the screw, -------G--C------------G--C With the boss a-curs-in' you, ----------F--------------------C------------------G-------------------C An' the sweat runs like a river, an' you're chokin' with the heat! Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: beardedbruce Date: 29 Sep 10 - 11:18 AM Oh, well. I work until 10pm Friday- so I'll come straight to the camp from work. I wonder what I'll forget? Save me some salmon! Please! |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Bill D Date: 29 Sep 10 - 11:27 AM Bruce...do *sharks* 'save' any salmon for later comers? |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Charley Noble Date: 30 Sep 10 - 08:53 AM Here's my picks for the weekend, which may change when I get more info or can't find a particular workshop: Saturday: Songwriting with Gordon Bok and Jed Marum Sea Shanties with Paul DiBlasi and Dave Diamond Pub Sing with Amos Jessop and Mark Ryer Old Time Songs with Molly Andrews and Debby McClatchy Challenging Choruses with Bill Day and Claire Norman Sunday: Sea Songs of Cicely Fox Smith with Charlie Ipcar Sally Rogers Inland Waterways with George Ward Ballads II with Colleen Cleveland and Wendy Grossman Parodies with Roger Himler and Micca Patterson And if some are filled to the brim there are plenty of alternatives. As I recall we can stay over Sunday night and leave Monday morning although I didn't see that mentioned on the schedule. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 30 Sep 10 - 11:26 AM I notice there is a Potluck Dinner FCriday night. If traffic allows, we'll try to make it and bring something. The Getaway workshop schedule doesn't say what time the supper is. Anyone know? |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Charley Noble Date: 30 Sep 10 - 11:31 AM Probably from 6 pm on. Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Nancy King Date: 30 Sep 10 - 11:45 AM Jerry, the potluck goes on from early evening until quite late, because people are continually arriving all evening. New food keeps appearing as people arrive. Note the only means we have of re-heating stuff is a microwave in the Retreat Center. I usually bring my chili in a crockpot. Charlie, yes, some folks do stay over until Monday, but you're supposed to have registered for that, just so the camp knows how many people they need to feed Sunday night and Monday morning. If you did not register for staying over, and want to, speak to Charlie Baum or Dean Clamons. There are no activities scheduled for Monday other than cleaning up and collecting hugs, but the late-night singing on Sunday night is often very nice. No Dani? Bummer! |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Bill D Date: 30 Sep 10 - 12:19 PM well, last year I brought an extension cord and extra outlets, and several crockpot type things were plugged in on a table by a wall...I'll plan to do a similar thing...so 'reheating' like Nancy does it at least possible. (not sure of circuit limitations.) |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Bill D Date: 30 Sep 10 - 12:22 PM ....that is, if I get finish packing for fighting the leak that has materialized in my downstairs hallway....it's coming UP from some pathway under the foundation...*grump*...I actually have 2 fans blowing a stream into an unused shower stall! |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: SINSULL Date: 30 Sep 10 - 12:36 PM Hate to ask this but... Flash flood warnings for Maryland, Pennsylvania, etc. Any news on the camp which is right on the water? Will I need rubber boots and a MacIntosh? |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Bill D Date: 30 Sep 10 - 01:09 PM The current weather report is for a clear and mostly sunny weekend. It may be 'damp around the edges', but I assume the camp was designed with location in mind. I'd guess it drains well...and it will have about 14-16 hours to dry from the predicted end of rain till we begin arriving. we shall see, hmmm? |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: GUEST Date: 30 Sep 10 - 03:28 PM You'll find your personal flotation devices under the cots. We'll be missing Dani! Waaah! KT in Seattle |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Severn Date: 30 Sep 10 - 05:46 PM KT, These personal flotation devices do not, by any chance resemble cowboys on horseback, ducks or flamingos, do they? Provided by the SINSULL Corp? |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: GUEST Date: 30 Sep 10 - 06:20 PM I haven't heard anything about coastal/river flooding. Mostly certain roads in DC and Baltimore with dips/underpasses that are known trouble spots. And some storm drains around City Dock in Annapolis backed up. So as long as no tour buses wreck on US 50 we should be A-OK. -- Gary |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Rapparee Date: 30 Sep 10 - 09:44 PM You mean the personal flotation devices that you can inflate by pulling the red handle or by blowing it by mouth? The ones that look for all the world like yellow toilet seat covers? |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Charley Noble Date: 30 Sep 10 - 10:17 PM Maybe I'll pick up a pizza on the way in. Pizza and spring water! It just don't get better than that. Van is packed. GPS is programed. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Joe Offer Date: 30 Sep 10 - 10:19 PM So, is the storm over and done with? I covered a lot of distance today because I didn't want to be driving through a storm, but all I experienced were high winds along the Hudson. That didn't stop me. I did a lot of walking on the New Jersey side of the Hudson and got great views of Manhattan. Cost me 25 cents for parking. See y'all tomorrow night. -Joe- |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 30 Sep 10 - 10:26 PM I expect to be driving in heavy rain to start out with, early tomorrow morning. Hey, it could be wrose. I could be Noah. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Rapparee Date: 30 Sep 10 - 10:28 PM You should have been flying into BWI tonight, like I was. The government should do something about those potholes in the sky. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: GUEST,Dani Date: 30 Sep 10 - 11:00 PM Hallelujah, the great storm is over. Dani |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: artbrooks Date: 30 Sep 10 - 11:19 PM We probably won't be leaving Pittsburgh until noon, so don't expect the salmon until after 6. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Janie Date: 01 Oct 10 - 12:50 AM Nice "girls night out" tonight with Dani, Genie, Janie, Holly and friend. We are eager to get on the road tomorrow at lunch, so had better get to bed tonight! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: maeve Date: 01 Oct 10 - 02:12 AM I may never get to the Getaway, and I failed to send along any auction items for this year's scholarship auction. I have, however, had the pleasure of meeting ClaireBear...thanks to Jacqui. ****************** (From a couple of years ago:) Blessings on the Getaway We send to you all journeys of delight, Diverting companions to sweeten the days, And music seeping, flowing, rushing, Enough to fill the deep well of joy in each heart Enough to lighten the darkest despair Music to brighten the stars overhead Music to comfort those who fain would be with you, Yet are not. Maeve |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: MMario Date: 01 Oct 10 - 08:50 AM I hope to be on my way shortly - have to get the oil changed in the car; and finish packing prior to that; but expect to be there 7-is or before. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Linda Goodman Zebooker Date: 01 Oct 10 - 01:11 PM We'll miss you, Dani! |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Claymore Date: 01 Oct 10 - 11:34 PM Sorry to miss it but life has its compensations. Two weeks ago I did the sound for one of the most interesting concerts in over thirty years with the Mountain Music Concert featuring musicians from Nepal paired with a couple of the local Appalachian Old-Time fiddlers/mando players. Last week it was Scottish Weekend which used to take the week before the Getaway at Ramblewood, but now goes to Timber Ridge, just west of Winchester, VA. This week it is the Appalachian Heritage Festival in the Cultural Center of the Known Universe, Shepherdstown WV. The tie-in? Elizabeth LaPrelle who blew up the Getaway away in '01 is now a headliner with two of my favorites, Jay Unger and Molly Mason on Saturday night. I shall pass on the Getaways good wishes, where those who know, heard her at 13. Have a good time! |
