Folks, here is a NOT to be missed house concert on August 21 in South Portland.
Bob is an old and dear friend; he is also one hell of a performer. Let's roll out the Northern hospitality.

We'd like to attend this one as well. Would it be inappropriate to mention that Bob Zentz is also performing at the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath on Sunday, August 15?

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

Yes, it would. LOL Now what?

Just realized that I am volunteering at Preble Street on Saturday. This may take some time management. But we have been trying to get Bob for years so I am not about to miss it!
Who's in?

Note to all: Bob's website lists the concert as August 22. It is the 21st.

By the way, how does a conceret differ from a house concert. Is there anything we need to do differently?

Oh dear! Judy and I will have to bail. One of our good friends is having her 50th birthday party that day and we're expected to help provide music.

I hate summer!

Would be good to see them. Has Jacqui sent out a blanket mailing? Maybe we can get the Sousas and the Gloucester contingent.

"Is anybody out there???????? "

I've been out there for years, Sins. It's looking doubtful that I'd be able to drive there twice in one month.

Anyone who can should certainly see Bob in one of his upcoming concerts. He has an almighty store of good songs.

Oh, and don't forget that Bob is a multi-instrumentalist. I don't know how many he will carry to Maine, but I'm sure it is many. I just recently saw him with a new-looking Hurdy-Gurdy. I saw him peerform just last month. He was surprised when several audience members asked him to play the Hurdy-Gurdy.

Roger in Baltimore. At least I was 3 years ago. I am now in Virginia and I get to see Bob perform frequently since I'm only two hours from his home.

Bob and Jeanne did a great job at the Maine Maritime Museum last evening. It was a nice crowd, a little over 30 attending and quite willing to join chorus or refrain.

They're now looking forward to the South Portland house concert next Saturday with all you fine folks.

Cheerily,

Great, Linn. You can have the first floor bedroom. Tom's ankle will appreciate the lack of stairs.

I plan on a cold supper. Sandwiches, devilled eggs, cucumber salad, fresh fruit, etc
Wine, beer, soft drinks.
Keep it simple.
By the way, the dishwasher died as did the coffe pot and toaster. LOL This should make for an interesting eveing and breakfast.

I've got a toaster tucked back in the lower cupboard somewhere that has been seldom used in the past 30 years. If I can extricate it, I'll bring it along.

Our coffee maker died yesterday, too, but Tom didn't waste much time replacing it. (Good think our Boston trip was foiled yesterday by a booked solid train.)

I thought I'd broken my toe on Tuesday and had it taped all day at work. Today it seems more likely that I've sprained the area where the big toe and next toe join the foot. At least that's where the discomfort is. And, since I've been favoring that foot (I'm on my feet most of the time at work), my right knee is seriously out of whack. It needs a brace, but of the ones I have, one elastic brace is waaaaay too big, and the other one should cover more area above and below the knee. I just took it off because it curls and cuts and is more uncomfortable than no brace at all. The remaining one is a major production with velcro, etc. and just more hassle than it's worth.

Tom's trying to decide what to bring...maybe tapenade, maybe potato salad or something.

We will bring a coffee pot, and I will do a necropsy on the dish washer. If you need to replace it I can install it and save you some money.
Remember, I can fix anything but a broken heart.

But will he read the directions first?

We may be stopping in Portland on our way to Litchfield (Blistered Fingers Festival) but not sure whether it will be on Saturday or Sunday. Is there room in your yard for a 30' motorhome to park for awhile? Kendall has seen it and can judge. We'll be staying at a campground, so would drive it over if it would fit and then be able to get to the house concert.

And we've got 2 perc coffee pots (lg and sm) and a toaster.

Oh, and what time does all this happen?

I have a huge driveway, Barbara. I am sure we can fit it - been done before multiple times. There is an outlet near the driveway to keep things running too.
We start at 6PM with a buffet. But arrive early to claim the driveway for your motor home. LOL
Kendall can give you directions.
So - multiple coffee and pots and toasters and if necessary a requiem for the dishwasher. I love it when a plan comes together.
Don't forget folks Jacqui had a birthday this week and we are still celebrating. The uglier the better.

Great! I'll make a reservation tonight at Wassamki or Bayley's. We can run with or without power, but thanks. I'm sure I won't get a chance to cook (and you should all probably be glad) so I'll get something at the bakery? And some wine?

We'll be the ones arriving in the big white breadbox. Before 6.

Tapenade...or cheddar cheese "salad" (more of a spread for crackers or bread). Depends on whether he can get the right olives at the right price.

Nope - I'm boiling, dissecting and scooping out the eggs and I'm hoping that YOU will make the mixture before I fill the eggs again. Division of labour, I call it.
