Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Nancy King Date: 21 Sep 11 - 02:42 PM We'll miss you, Ernie! Next year for sure, right? For those of you who ARE coming, you might want to check the schedule again. There have been a couple of changes. We're hoping there won't be any more, but you never can tell... And if you haven't yet registered, do it NOW! See you all there-- Nancy |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: ClaireBear Date: 21 Sep 11 - 02:09 PM I second Amos' emotion. Those scintillating late nights and glorious sunrises won't be as scintillating or glorious without you, Ernie. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Lonesome EJ Date: 21 Sep 11 - 12:55 PM Well, after 5 years in a row, I am bowing out of this year's event. It's just too wearing to spend 4 days at a trade show, then arrive at BWI Saturday night for the remaining half of the Getaway. I hope to return next year if I don't have a conflict. I know, Amos, "delegate". But I would have to clone me to delegate this one. I'll be thinking of all of you and that beautiful Chesapeake shore. Sing one for me. LEJ |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Charley Noble Date: 21 Sep 11 - 08:57 AM Sure looks as if it's shaping up for another great weekend. I'll be picking up Bradfordian (Barrie) when he transports to Portland late Monday (after Getaway), assuming he's in any shape to travel. Be kind to him, and be sure to thank him for all the work he's done shepherding the new set of Mudcat CDs. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Charlie Baum Date: 19 Sep 11 - 03:36 PM If you haven't registered yet, register NOW! (Even if you have to bring money with you to the event to pay for it, or mail a check.) We need to let the folks who run West River know our numbers--especially how many meals to prepare. And if you have allergies or special dietary needs, we need to tell the camp NOW so they can purchase the right amount of food for us and work around whatever dietary restrictions we have among us. There's still room, but we need to know who is coming NOW. (If you're a maybe, post on this thread NOW, and we'll count you with weighted probability.) --Charlie Baum |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Genie Date: 19 Sep 11 - 01:32 PM Glad you folks worked it out to be able to come, Rose. The video of you and Colin singing "Crossing The Bar" at last year's Getaway has gotten a bunch of good attention at YouTube, and Olivia contacted me via YouTube to ask about her and Colin coming to this year's Getaway. It will be great to hear all three of you. Genie |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: maeve Date: 19 Sep 11 - 01:15 PM Dan "bringing Dick Swain..." Just when I've had to accept once again that I can't get there! Drat! Maeve |
|
Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Dan Schatz Date: 19 Sep 11 - 10:56 AM I'm looking forward to it, though once again I think it'll just be me. This could change if anyone else is expecting to have small children. When I was a kid at the Getaway, lo these many years ago, there used were enough children that we could keep each other company. At the moment, it looks like Kiran would be the only one, and at 4 he's just not yet of an age to sit quietly in workshops all day (even though he loves the music), or to play happily without other kids. So this is a plea for future years - if you have young kids, bring 'em, and let me know! And if you are bringing kids this year, please let me know and we'll talk. On the bright side, I get to co-lead the "Singing to the Choir" workshop with Sally Rogers again, and co-lead the "Fishing and Fishermen" workshop with Nick Apollonio! Not to mention the workshops I get to just GO to.... And I'm bringing Dick Swain - does that count for anything? Dan |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Midchuck Date: 19 Sep 11 - 08:37 AM Got my registration confirmation. They even got all the information right. I did well to have Kris handwrite the registration instead of doing it myself. (How come nobody's told the Getaway people about computer-fillable PDFs?) It will be an interesting trip down, for a rural Vermonter fighting the megalopolis traffic. With the aid of The Captain and Jacqui, aka Hardy, I should be all right. Peter |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Jeri Date: 18 Sep 11 - 10:53 PM I wanted to go, but didn't have the money this year, and no one to go down with. I AM planning to go next year! |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Siochain Date: 18 Sep 11 - 10:46 PM I've just locked in our bus plans, including the trip home. Hopefully we will make it to Union Station on Monday morning for a 9:30 AM bus. We are looking forward to our second (first for Olivia!) trip to the Getaway. Rose |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Siochain Date: 18 Sep 11 - 10:02 PM I am coming with son Colin and friend Olivia. We are opting to travel by Bolt Bus to Greenbelt on Friday. I'm crossing my fingers that a kind soul will stop at the Greenbelt Metrorail Intermodal Station sometime after 5:00 PM and help us with the final leg of the journey. I'm working on the return logistics now. We can catch a bus home on Monday either from Greenbelt or from Union Station - or from Baltimore - it all depends on when/where we can catch a ride to. I'd love to hear from anyone who can offer us a ride. Many thanks! |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Midchuck Date: 15 Sep 11 - 07:48 AM Jacqui, when I used the term "dubious company," I never meant to refer to you. I was talking about the person who addresses me as "You Old Scroat," when he's one of the only living people left on the planet, older than me.... Peter. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Midchuck Date: 13 Sep 11 - 09:29 PM Did the application and wrote the check tonight, to mail in the morning. I hope I'm not late, but since I'm planning to camp in the van, and running out of beds isn't an issue, I would think I'd be ok. Kris can't come this year, as she is teaching for one more year, but if it works for me, maybe both of us in 2012, unless we're in Montana. I may be traveling in dubious company, if all goes as planned. But at least I'll have a spare source of busted-vehicle swearwords if they're (heaven forfend) needed. Peter |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Abby Sale Date: 09 Sep 11 - 03:30 PM Good Amos. I like that. I wrote one too but I only got a verse & a half. Maybe I had no more to say. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Amos Date: 08 Sep 11 - 06:13 PM From Ernie Johnson and me, last year: 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 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) |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: ClaireBear Date: 08 Sep 11 - 05:42 PM O joy! It's confirmed: There will be TWO Bear sisters at the Getaway this year! Please be gentle with Frieda, who's not a Mudcatter (yet) but IS a musician and a librarian (emeritus), so I just know she'll fit right in. Claire |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Abby Sale Date: 08 Sep 11 - 05:27 PM I remember my mom had the sheet music in her piano bench. I don't recall she ever played or sang it, tho: The Song of the Seabees (1943) Words by Sam M. Lewis Music by Peter de Rose We're the Seabees of the Navy We can build and we can fight We'll pave the way to victory And guard it day and night And we promise that we remember The "Seventh of December" We're the Seabees of the Navy Bees of the Seven Seas The Navy wanted men That's where we came in Mister Brown and Mister Jones The Owens, the Cohens and Flynn The Navy wanted more Of Uncle Sammy's kin So we all joined up And brother we're in to win. http://www.31st-seabees.com/seabee_song.htm & Judy Garland: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqtF686DEdM Dumb song but was important propaganda for us then. |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Tinker Date: 08 Sep 11 - 11:12 AM AMOS... I may need another cup of coffee to clear that image from my brain. Okay so I'm still determined to get there, my quick overnight with Bill and Rita has stretched into two nights as I cross my fingers and hope that the ignition coil is all that is wrong with my car. Dear husband woke me this morning to ask where the sump pumps were... yup more water in the basement less than 24 hours after we got a new hot water heater! But I did get to use my great breadth of experience helping clear up the mere annoyance of water at Bill and Rita's this am. Hell or high water I will get to Getaway! |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Amos Date: 08 Sep 11 - 10:56 AM We have such good memories of our Getaway a couple of years back. I'm glad someone has still got a good memory. Mine's collapsed into a haze of mostly pleasant recollections, although I do recall a threat of bodily harm emanating from a gigantic tranvestite Irishman. Or did I dream that? A |

Subject: RE: Who's coming to Getaway 2011? From: Linda Goodman Zebooker Date: 08 Sep 11 - 10:33 AM I won't be able to get to the 2011 Getaway. First one I've had to miss since I first heard about that wonderful weekend in 2000. Because of the calendar this year, the New Jersey Folk Project will have their weekend simultaneously, and I need to go to that one because of wanting to see a couple of friends who will ONLY be there this year. So sad to miss you all!! I'll send something to the David and Linda Olive scholarship fund since I can't be there in person. |
