Thank you so much for creating your magical, wondrous setting for music sharing. We so appreciated the warm, relaxed and responsive flow of the evening. And your hospitality cannot be beat!
I so look forward to seeing you again.
All the best,

I really need to get to South Portland one of these days. I miss you all so much. Just need to sit and talk in person rather than on the phone.

Great night as far as I was concerned. Both Rose and John are a delight and I enjoyed the time we got to spend with them.

No problem Linn. You have earned it.

Rose and John put on a wonderful performance of old and new material. When was the last time I heard anyone sing "I Gave My Love a Cherry" and genuinely enjoyed it? Some memories of Barry Finn. Some Mary Garvey. I did not keep a play list and I apologize. Lots of chorus songs so the audience got to sing too.

If you have a chance to see these two in concert, don't miss it.

We also enjoyed the late night chat until 2-3 AM. Not sure what time it was. But I went to bed happy and tired.

Thank you all for the wonderful food and desserts and Mrs Morse for handling breakfast.

I survived, in case anyone's wondering. So has the cheese I lost in between the fridge and car.

I knew Rose was good, but had never heard her & John together. It was a real treat! Beautiful songs, and John's accompaniments were about the tastiest I've heard. He also sang a song that was a notWoodie Guthrie song, and I've been trying to remember the name of the composer since before I left last night: Goebel Reeves

May they have many good gigs, and may they RECORD!

Sorry. Having a rebound day or something. I have good days and the occasional bad day. Yesterday was evidently too good to go unpunished. (And, no, I don't mean overindulgence in adult beverages.)

I really wanted to come tonight and had been looking forward to it.

Hi!
John and I are heading to Waldoboro today. We'll connect with some mid-coast friends and do some music at The Narrows Tavern. We'll head back to Portland on Saturday.
We are very much looking forward to seeing you all soon!
Thanks so much!

Appears to be 10 - 15 reservations. If only the snow will end and free up the driveway.

Rose too has some Portland locals interested. It will be a fair size group. Now if Mother Nature will cooperate...

Jacqui is getting the word out on Facebook. We have two more definites. We will get there.
Tom Coward is threatening to bring a curry. That usually attracts another ten.

John and I are looking forward to music making in Maine. We're eager do our part to help spread the word!

Here's our bio:

"Rose Sheehan, vocals and button accordion, and John Hicks, vocals, guitar, ukulele and mandolin, have combined their musical interests and talents to interpret and perform a mix of songs, old and new, rooted in the folk and traditional music of North America and the British Isles. Each song from their inspired catalog is a celebration of life from the sublime to the ridiculous, the tender to the bawdy, the joyful to the tragic.

Rose, a life-long New Englander, has been happily learning, interpreting and presenting traditional music and dance since the late 1970's. Her musical celebrations of the Yuletide and May have delighted multiple generations in community settings for nearly three decades. She is a passionate singer, enchanting listeners wherever she sings. Her powerful voice naturally conveys poignancy, humor, and simple joy. Rose sings from the heart, moving her listeners along the narrative and poetic currents of each song.

John, a Brooklyn native, was playing at the Gaslight in Greenwich Village up to its closing. From there he plunged headlong into folk music throughout New England, musical theater on- and off-Broadway, swing music in Austin, the blues in Tulsa, and ukulele throughout the US and Canada. He currently plays some combination of all of the above north of Boston. When not playing with Rose, John plays traditional jazz and teaches ukulele at North Shore Community College."

I will very much try to be there -- I don't THINK there's anything else on the calendar right now...

And I DESPERATELY need to get to see all of you! It's been way too long since I've been able to come up for a house concert.
