Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: SINSULL Date: 05 May 13 - 12:44 PM My wording was clumsy. I was listing songs I remembered John singing including Patrick Spense and Catch Me If you Can. Just finished orgazing or what passes for organizing my kitchen. I seem to have a pot and a cookie sheet too many. Thank you everyone who attended, contributed, sang along...you made it a wonderful evening for all. SINS |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: ranger1 Date: 05 May 13 - 09:17 AM Mary, John did sing Catch Me If You Can, you even asked him to, lol. |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: jacqui.c Date: 05 May 13 - 08:38 AM It was a wonderful concert. John just gets better every time I see him and Lisa is an amazing musician. Maeve and Jeri - you were missed! Saturday morning breakfast was great, particularly when John regaled us with Carrying Nelson Home and The Old Figurehead Carver. |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Bat Goddess Date: 05 May 13 - 08:31 AM Maeve, I understand completely. We've got entirely different circumstances from yours, but an overnight for Tom right now is just way too complicated. The Press Room session(s) in Portsmouth is about as far from home as we can manage. Linn |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: maeve Date: 05 May 13 - 08:16 AM May I say I am really tired of not being able to go to concerts? I'm glad all went well at both house concerts. |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: GUEST Date: 05 May 13 - 07:33 AM Just saw them at house concert here, Anne Dodson & Matt Szostak's. Like old times only better. Both amazing musicians, John reminded me of times and songs almost forgotten. How about the harp with sitar voice? |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: SINSULL Date: 04 May 13 - 09:33 PM John is on my top five favorite people list along with Peter and Kendall. A wonderful evening of good friends, good food, good music and I came home to it.. Thank you, Jacqui, for making it all work. Funny but after everyone left I thought of all the songs we didn't hear... Patrick Spense, , Catch me if you can, Bringing Nelson Home, Sorry too tired to come up with a list. John was brilliant; Lisa too. Choruses abounded and my neighbor provided a morning serenade. SINS |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: kendall Date: 04 May 13 - 08:37 PM Damn fine show eh what? The joint was crawling with Brits, which is always refreshing. John and Lisa put on a very fine performance. I made it through the main performance but I faded suddenly and just had to crash. We need to get Woodchuck's Revenge back for as house concert. I still haven't recovered. |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Midchuck Date: 04 May 13 - 08:10 PM A public thank you to Sinsull for putting the evening on; to Anglo and Lisa for a wonderful performance; and to Kendall and Jacqui for once again making us welcome in their home. A great weekend. At least for us. Peter & Kris |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Charley Noble Date: 04 May 13 - 10:30 AM Envious! But we also had a good time at Dahlov's art opening at the Maine Farmland Trust Gallery in Belfast last evening. I've posted some images on my Facebook page if anyone is interested. So how about sharing some details about the concert? Charley Noble |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: ranger1 Date: 04 May 13 - 08:49 AM Wishing I didn't have to work this morning and that we could have stayed longer last night. Wonderful concert experienced with good friends. What better way to spend a Friday night? |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Cuilionn Date: 03 May 13 - 05:23 PM Looks like it'll be three of us-- The Piper & I plus a farmhand, coming too late for food, but in good time for music. Looking forward to seeing you all tonight! --Cuilionn |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: ranger1 Date: 03 May 13 - 05:19 PM I'll be bringing Jason and Michael. Jason is bringing quiche, I'll stop for soda or something on the way. |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: maeve Date: 03 May 13 - 04:33 PM Ms. Maeve sorrowfully sends her regrets. We're flat out busy planting. I am so very sorry to miss you all. Sins, kindly send my warm regards to John. and Lisa. Perhaps I can see them in Camden. |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: SINSULL Date: 03 May 13 - 12:57 PM Wish you could be here Micca. Should be a special night. M |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Micca Date: 03 May 13 - 11:24 AM I cordially Hate you all!!!, I so wish I could be there for this one, as do many more Brits too!! |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: SINSULL Date: 03 May 13 - 10:14 AM I have spare toothbrushes and a washing machine for those less prosperous. See you later. |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Midchuck Date: 03 May 13 - 07:46 AM Packing up toothbrushes, clean skivvies, instruments, cookies, and cash for beer, and heading out to brave the savage, primitive, inhabitants of Cowhampshire...See Ya... P. |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: SINSULL Date: 01 May 13 - 12:14 PM To be precise **$#@(!*** and the horse you rode in on. HARUMPH! Lots of bread and no fishes that I know of. Jesus will have the decency to make his second coming AFTER John and Lisa have done their second set. Not like him to spoil a party. As to Peter: if we did not love him we would not bother to insult him. Not his fault he is/was a lawyer. I believe his parents put him up to it. Jeri - you will be missed.But earning a living has its benefits. Keep in mind there will be breakfast on Saturday so come whenever/if you decide to. SINS |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: ranger1 Date: 01 May 13 - 12:53 AM So Jesus came to visit? Will there be plenty of bread and fishes, too? |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Jeri Date: 30 Apr 13 - 10:48 PM Peter, you may have "retired" but this still seems to be lawyer behavior. (Encouraging SINS to "pay more attention to precision... yada, yada, yada"). I'm quite sure you enjoy telling people you've quit, but I don't believe you've been going to meetings or following the 12 step thing or actually doing anything that shows you really want to recover. The job looks more and more like it might go past the supposed end date, and I'm in a position that doesn't let me take Friday night off. I could possibly make it by 11 PM, but I'm guessing I might miss most of the music. I could swear some, but I'll spare you. |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Midchuck Date: 30 Apr 13 - 08:56 PM Everyone picks on me for being a lawyer. I'm not, at heart. I'm a folksinger/guitar player who had to practice law in the daytime because he couldn't make any money in his true calling. And now I'm retired from law practice. My license to practice is on "retired" status, so I don't know if I should be called a lawyer or not. At least you guys aren't as mean as the person on another forum who, when I announced my retirement there, replied "A retired lawyer. That's the second best kind!" I actually knew what Sins meant. I just wanted to encourage her to pay more attention to precision in use of language. Instead, I drove her into a fit of Spasmodic Capitalization. I apologize. Peter |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: SINSULL Date: 30 Apr 13 - 08:16 PM Wait! yES pETER. 1/2 HOUR AND THEN YOU HAVE TO LEAVE... dAMN cAPSLOCK! dAMN lAWYERS! |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: jacqui.c Date: 30 Apr 13 - 07:37 PM DOH! Back to the cellah, Petah. That last shot was so corny........ |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: SINSULL Date: 30 Apr 13 - 07:36 PM Leave it to a lawyer to split hairs...HMMMM If in doubt as to what to contribute, think beer and soft drinks. Lots of wine and water but no beer, hard stuff or sodas. I am so looking forward to en evening with friends and music. SINS |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: ranger1 Date: 30 Apr 13 - 07:15 PM No, Peter, it just has a flexible start time :D |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Midchuck Date: 30 Apr 13 - 07:13 PM The concert is only half an hour!? P. |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Bat Goddess Date: 30 Apr 13 - 01:35 PM Had a stray turkey (just the one, this time) in the driveway when I came home from my class. They always act so surprised... Linn |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: ranger1 Date: 30 Apr 13 - 01:00 PM Jason has promised to make a quiche. If I'm not too tired after work on Thursday, I'll try to make a gluten-free apple crisp. |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: GUEST,SINS Date: 30 Apr 13 - 12:21 PM I have to work on Friday so Jacqui will be in charge - oh, dear. Food around 6-6:30; Concert 7-7:30. If parking in the driveway, keep an eye out for Freddie and the turkeys. No road kill will be served. Mary |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Becca72 Date: 29 Apr 13 - 09:53 AM I'm really going to try to make this one and if I do I'll certainly bring something...what, I have no idea. :-) |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Midchuck Date: 29 Apr 13 - 09:15 AM Not much we can do about hot dishes when we're coming from afar, but Kris might be persuaded to make cookies, and I can by a cheap case of Malcervesa at New Hampshire prices on the way over. P. |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: ranger1 Date: 29 Apr 13 - 08:57 AM It's a house concert, Mary. I thought the rule was no dogs anyway. |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Bat Goddess Date: 29 Apr 13 - 08:47 AM Double whammy keeping us away, though Tom and I will both be there in spirit. Tom's not up to travel as far as Portland these days or overnights, so we'll be keeping the session in line at the Press Room. (And Tom will probably be wanting to get home before dark.) PLEASE say 'hi' to John and Lisa for us. And everybody else in the room. Too bad...I've got some photos of John from 1981 at The Press Room that I'd LOVE to show Lisa... Linn |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: GUEST,SINS Date: 29 Apr 13 - 08:32 AM Maeve, We will see you SOON! If you don't make it to John and Lisa's concert, then some Saturday SOON. Mary |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: GUEST,SINS Date: 29 Apr 13 - 08:31 AM Tom and Deb are bringing curry. I am making a smoked sausage casserole. Ice Cream for dessert. Salad, cheese and fruit, crusty bread. We won't go hungry. Heads up. I have just won the early spring battle of the fleas. Please - no pets unless you are willing to pay an exterminator, treat my cats and vacuum, vacuum, vacuum. SINS |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: maeve Date: 29 Apr 13 - 07:55 AM Jacqui- IF I can make it, I'll bring something. ranger1- Thanks. |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: jacqui.c Date: 29 Apr 13 - 07:11 AM I'm making chilli for the pot luck. Who else can bring stuff for a (possibly) large crowd? |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: ranger1 Date: 29 Apr 13 - 06:18 AM Maeve, we're still hoping you'll join us, too. Refresh! |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: maeve Date: 29 Apr 13 - 05:19 AM Sins, remember I said I "hope to hear Lisa and John..." It's always hard to know whether I'll be able to join you. Still hoping. Maeve |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: SINSULL Date: 28 Apr 13 - 09:50 PM Not likely, Peter. Not likely. |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Jeri Date: 28 Apr 13 - 09:37 PM I'm hoping my job gets done on time. I'm not even thinking about "early", but hope I'm wrong. I really, really, REALLY don't want to miss this! |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Midchuck Date: 28 Apr 13 - 08:37 PM Move the Chucks up to "Definite Unless the S*** Hits the Fan In Some Unspecified Way or if Jacqui says I can only stay there if I sleep in the Cellar." Should be good fun. Are Roberts and Sins gonna put on a fist fight? P. |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: SINSULL Date: 28 Apr 13 - 07:39 PM Hope we can tighten uo the numbers. So far 13 definites: Jacqui and Kendall Me Peter + Audi John and Lisa Maeve Ranger1 Holly and Sue Deb and Tom 24 Maybes: Jeri The Chucks Becca Deb and Jim 4 TRUBRIT friends 6 SINSULL friends 4 Ranger1 friends Farmhands Scary! Been a long time since we had to order pizzas. LOL |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: SINSULL Date: 16 Apr 13 - 07:14 PM Becca is a maybe, I will check with Deb and Jim. |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: GUEST,SINS Date: 15 Apr 13 - 12:54 PM Eggs for me please. Mary |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: GUEST,Cuilionn Date: 15 Apr 13 - 12:46 PM Thanks to the Ranger for the heads-up... I think The Piper & I can come! We might bring one of our farmhands too. Anybody need any farm goods for special concert delivery? I can bring fresh organic salad mix, eggs, grass-fed ground beef, and/or pork chops! --Cuilionn |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: kendall Date: 15 Apr 13 - 07:33 AM Don't make me come over there. |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: Jeri Date: 14 Apr 13 - 07:43 PM ...or a smaller shark. I forgot about work, which might interfere. (DAMMIT!) It's supposed to last through May 6th, in which case I'm screwed. The "through" date is usually the worst case scenario, so it probably won't go that long. |
Subject: RE: John Roberts in SoPo Maine May 3 Concert From: kendall Date: 14 Apr 13 - 07:17 PM "We are going to need a bigger boat". |
