oh, my, Jeri...I have been sitting here all day thinking.."Jeri got turned around!!"..."NO", said Rita.."it sounds like more car trouble."
but I felt it in my bones...

"Did she ever return, no, she never well, she finally returned.."

I think the furtherest I ever drove after doing one of those tricks was 20-30 miles.....but you know what? **I** never had the guts to admit it for the amusement of all my friends..*grin*...Thanks for sharing...*giggle*

I forgot to mention the biggest thrill of singing in that church. It was the first time in my 50 odd years that I got to sing in church in a key I could actually sing!

Edmond--do you really think so? It would be awesome.

Another memory ... handing Mick the keys to my van after he volunteered to take the Shellbacks to the liquor store. ( I had heard bits and pieces of the list) How much could they want?, he innocently asked. They took the van....

And they left one behind!

I sat with him as we discussed differences between English and American music events (the chief difference being the amount of alcohol consumed). He said folks had gone out after more.

I looked up and said, "On a Sunday?!" Being from the South, I was alarmed at the prospect of unsuspecting liquor stores being closed, and them pressing their noses up against the glass, mournfully swearing under their breath. His face grew quite pale....

Turned out Maryland isn't QUITE the South!

Whew...

Mary, your jacket is in the lost and found box at Bill's house.

Still singing, gradually shifting over from folk to Mahler, Ives and Schumann for a concert this weekend, but I made sure I put some Burns songs on my part of the program, so I'm still holding a thread. Missed fiddle jam session last night, but had enough stored up to make it through.

Jeri, I think the NJ turnpike is indeed the twilight zone. Sounds like your car likes it at Ramblewood and has a mind of its own.

My what a wonderful weekend. For a time I felt out of place (about half a second) then EVERYBODY made me feel more than welcome. The Getaway Gang is the singingest group of people I have ever met.

The Shellbacks are my special buddies forever. Colin, Carole, Alan, Derick, Theresa, Jim, Snuffy, Noreen, Andy, (Oh no I can't remember all their names). Sorry, still suffering from sleep deprivation I think.

So many new friends, so many talented people all in the same place and the same time. Mick and Gary and Bill and Rita and Roger and Max and Dani and Kendall and Bob and Barry and David and Judy and Bruce and Susan and Joe and Dick and all the others that I just can't pluck from my memory at this moment.

We are still vacationing for the next week or so. Tawmmie and I have been visiting the museums in D.C. for the past few days and are suffering from culture shock as well. We will be heading up to Mass and Maine after today and then home to Alaska on the 31st. I promise to send some pictures when we get home.

Bye for now, Thanks again for the fabulous Getaway.

Jeri said:
"I got talking to a gentleman. Me: "How ya doin'?" Him: "Pretty good - I'm almost home." Me: "I've got a way to go." Him: "Where ya headed?" Me: "New Hampshire." Him: "Uh...it's the other way."

I had almost the same conversation in a canoe in the dark once. Was working for Natural Resources documenting trout spawning beds (by going out at night with spotlights and finding them doing it...tres kinky) and we couldn't figure out why the inlet we needed to find wasn't materializing--saw a light, called out to the cottager and he hollered back "You're on the wrong lake!" Turned out we had gone the wrong direction at put-in. Duh.

Well I will be looking up Edmund and Char later today to take possession of that autoharp--thanks Jim! I'll let you know how it seems..

Dang it sounds like you guys had fun. Probably WORTH freezing half to death...

Oh, feckryinoutloud -- it wasn't THAT cold -- unless you were sitting still for an extended period of time, possibly out of the sun, not under a blanket, without a cup of hot tea. . .er, um, well, maybe it was a tad on the chilly side...

But with all the warmth and love and kinship bouncing around, who could stop to notice? The Shellbacks are such great fun and wonderful folk and INCREDIBLE musicians -- I was duly impressed. The voice of the 16 year-old angel, Elizabeth LaPrelle, rings still in my head -- what tones!

Amos -- yes, you MUST come to a Getaway as soon as humanly possible!

Side-busting skit by the Shells plus Alaska Prince -- I haven't laughted that hard in a while, and I laugh pretty frequently...Awwright...Ruth, you are a stitch! (Get that woman on the 'cat already!)

Morticia writes, "BTW please return the Shellbacks as you found them.....I think there may be a deposit on the empties." Fear not, Morty and Menolly, Col K's store of hugs is not depleted in the least by sharing them in America. It was wonderful to have a chance to "experience" a real Colin hug -- they are now legendary on BOTH sides of the pond. (Ask Col K to tell you about meeting Big Mick just moments after arriving at the Getaway.)

Missing Person Soup Kitchen have some of the most lovely harmonies, and I loved watching Bill Kimmons sing with adoring eyes turned to his wife. I realize it's easier to stay in time with someone while looking at them, but this was much more than that!

As always, the Getaway weekend renews me enough to carry on for the next six months or so -- even when I'm not participating fully in as many workshops as I'd like, I love singing along. And the energy generated throughout the grounds is positively magical. It's my idea of a "luxury" weekend -- creature comforts are "easy" to come by but the manna of the music and people at the Getaway is priceless.

Peace and music,

What an incredible time, what joy & pleasure, like multiple .....oop's,thrills. I'd like to thank Rita, Jennifer & Charlie for the tremendous amount time & energy they had to have spent(& many others) for doing a job so well done. It was great meet, hear & do a workshop with Alaska Mike, his "I did, I did, Iditarod" song & his ballad of a young whaler's first & only kill are bound to become songs that will be well sung by many others. Singing a couple of songs, no matter what songs, next to Mary Lamarca is a wonderful experience, thanks Mary you'd make anyone sound great. I was bowed over listening to Rita singing some real choice songs. Janice Cole had me in stitches with her food (some how I don't think food was the real subject of the song) song, the last time I laughed that hard was when she sang "Rubber Ducky" a few yrs ago (I nearly died from a laughing fit that nearly triggered an asthma attack). Then the other side of Janice's voice, singing "South Wind" at 3am is a knock out. Heather Wood's singing of anything combined with her sharp wit is always dead on, she seems to nail everything she sings. Hey, Joe Offer I didn't know camp songs could be so visual & aerobic you should take yourself on the road (that's a high complement). Ron & Jan Davies's rap song (never enjoyed rap so much) of the Pheromones was another song that' was quite the hit, great job. I've heard about Joe Hickerson forever & have an LP of his but to hear him sing in the same room was masterful. One of the biggest singing highlights for me was listening to young Elizabeth LaPrelle 'of the mountains' sing, it was like traveling in time warp into a past where all the old ghosts from the hills seemingly sing through her. What can you say about the Shellbacks, terrific singers & terrific people down to the man/woman. They approach singing with all their heart & soul & never stop. Singing with Noreen, Alanww, Snuffy, Carole, Derek, Jill, Theresa, & the rest is a festival in it's self. Spirit & passion in everything they do & they spread it naturally, WOW. I know I only slightly touched on all that was great but I don't have a spare 8 hrs. to continue & still I wouldn't cover much.


Jeri, Susan A-R & I some how did much the same driving back. We missed the New Jersey Turnpike because we mysteriously couldn't get off Rt95 even though we were following all the signs & directions. We finally ended up on the turnpike but we were already past better than ½ the way, oh well, didn't matter much Susan was a great traveling companion.

Down in Joisey (yeah)

It only goes in
One direction
You know Jeri's back in town!

She tried hard (yeah)
To escape (yeah)
Drove that turnpike
All night long
Somehow space it-
Self got twisted
She was back in Camp by dawn!

If you're leaving
Ramblewood now
Take a tip from
Jeri's tome!
Once you make that
Folkie scene, man,

Hello from a (mostly) Lapsed 'Catter... I came back on for the first time in months to read the Getaway thread, harrass Kendall, say hi to Rick, and jump in on yet another thread about singer/songwriters vs. traditional singers (some things never change). In doing all this, I remembered why I left the 'Cat - I got so wrapped up in playing online, I missed supper, and almost missed Brian Peters' concert! So I'll prob'ly go away again after this message - I got no self control when it comes to threads...

For the first time in a couple years, I really regretted that I was just day-tripping to the Getaway - boy, was the unorganized/disorganized singing great this year! In addition to being great singers themselves, the Shellbacks were a catalyst for great contributions from long-time Getaway attendees, both FSGW and Mudcat. I guess you could call it "hybrid vigor", but I don't know how much, ah, hybridizing was going on after hours...

I had decided not to house any Shellbacks, owing to my incredibly bad housekeeping skills, but Theresa and I hit it off in just a couple songs, and I was REALLY glad she came to stay with us! The after Getaway gatherings gave us all chances to make music in smaller groups, swap stories and get to know eachother better (and Theresa very politely listened to me lengthily bemoaning the rejection of our latest paper by yet another medical journal and ignored the clutter and cat hair that fills our house...)

I look at the small East Coast festivals, like NOMAD and NEFFA, and Getaways as "Folk Family" gatherings, where you get to see the family of your heart several times a year (including some of the weird second-cousins and noxious in-laws you have to put up with at any family gathering...). Even though we may live far away from each other, it's great to know I'll get to see and sing with friends I've met through music: Kendall, Barry, Jeri, Big Mick, Joe Offer (among too many others to name). But making new friends through the music is wonderful, too, and I hope I'll get to see and sing again with Theresa, Alaska Mike, Snuffy, Alanww, and all the rest of you whose names have fallen through the steel sieve that is my brain.

Love to you all...

OK, I almost forgot to share two of my FAVORITE memories. One'll be my favorite musical moment forever, and I will cherish it always.

I love to sing. Have never had the time (or the teacher!) to learn the instruments I'd like to play, so have settled for singing and the kazoo. Have gotten pretty darn good (locally famous; the pied kazooer, you know) and I LOVE to play it.

God knows you don't get many opportunities... but usually Jim (Gutbucketeer) provides one or two a year ; )

This year, Joel Bailes' Barrelhouse Piano Jam was an absolute BLAST!! He has a wonderful spirit, and style, and created some real fun in the gym. Wish I hadn't left for one of those darn conflicts. But it was great to jam on Jim's homemade kazoo!

But then... THEN, during the Saturday night dining room sing, there came a song I wasn't familiar with, but that had (no shit!) a rousing chorus. Vaughan (Snuffy?) came to my side and whispered in my ear, " 'Ave you got yer kazoo on ya?" HAVE I?!?! There was a line for bugle in the chorus (what song was that?) and he and I played. It was like being pulled out of the audience onto the stage at Carnegie HALL, or up to dance with Bruce Springsteen for cryin' out loud!

Thank you, Vaughan, and Joel, and Jim.

Thank you all!!

Then there was the time that Mick started a sorrowful song about love, death, etc. and Dani chimed in on the kazoo. He retorted...something to do with his Irish grandmother.

I called my Dad in NY mainly to tell him about the Shellbacks. He got teary hearing about the Music Hall session. He too hasn't heard anything but the choruses in years.

I'm not sure I'm recovered yet. I decided to miss the session tonight - too burnt out and playing phone tag. Here's my 'Lost Highway' contribution. Maybe True Thomas needs a re-write.

There's a tale they tell of a lonesome road
In the dark New Jersey night
When October winds howl a fearsome song
And the moon's the only light
When the world we know and the world we dream
Are not so far apart
And the road you may find your self upon
Can chill the stoutest heart

Oh see that wide road up ahead
With many potholed lanes?
You really wanted a different one
But they look pretty much the same
One road leads to New York City
The other one to Hell
If it were not for the Washington Bridge
The difference we could not tell

And see the invisible road that twists and turns?
No, I didn't think you could
It leads round and round, not back and forth
The way a good road should
It rolls on and on forever
And goes nowhere in particular
And trapped upon this Moebus highway
Are all manner of things vehicular

So be careful, you who drive upon
The Turnpike of New Jersey
For the night is dark and lonely
And the exits have no mercy
And the world we know and the world we dream
Are not so very far apart
And the road you may find your self upon
Can chill the stoutest heart

Still, on a winter's night they say
when the wind's in the trees;

When the road is a ribbon of moonlight
looping the purple moor
Then Jeri will come driving, driving, driving
Jeri still comes driving - along the Jersey shores.

Tawmmie cooked breakfast this morning. I was so glad. I forgot to set the clock back and so was up and showered at 5AM. Kept looking for the sun and Captain Morse but neither arrived. Finally called him and he announced (as if he had been hoping) "I'm not late. You forgot to set your clock back."

We had breakfast and a few laughs. Then they left for Boston. I did enjoy them. Mike sang his Firdt Kill song for Kendall. And Kendall sang his Waling Song for him. Wonderful moments. Then Seamus spent the day with me. Life is good.
