Subject: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 26 Jan 05 - 04:58 PM Saturday, Feb. 26 at 6PM Some food and drink and lots of music. Who's in? PM me for directions (ha ha) |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Charley Noble Date: 26 Jan 05 - 05:09 PM Sinsull- Good idea to give a month's notice. We'll see. Sure had fun singing last time. Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: jacqui.c Date: 26 Jan 05 - 05:21 PM Indubitably - and I'll try and persuade the old guy to get there as well. |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Brían Date: 26 Jan 05 - 06:38 PM I hope to be theyuh with or without SINSULL's dubious navigational expertise. Brían |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 26 Jan 05 - 06:46 PM Oooo, and it's during my Feb. vacation... this has possibilities!! Allison |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 26 Jan 05 - 06:51 PM I have a spare room and extra beds - up to six, I think. So don't let the drive get in the way. Maybe we can get Linn to cook breakfast again. If not, I can. Lots of coffee, eggs, bagels, whatever. |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Bat Goddess Date: 26 Jan 05 - 07:07 PM Sounds good, Sins (and put us in for one of the bedrooms). WARNING!!! Do not, I repeat DO NOT follow Sinsull's directions! Get her address and go to Yahoo Maps which has the best directions of the different sites I've tried. Especially do not ask Sinsull for the names of Exits off the Maine Pike or 295. Just remember, I've warned you. Linn |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: karen k Date: 27 Jan 05 - 12:20 AM Good idea. Bad weekend. I'll be at something else in NY. Another time for sure. Need lots of notice. So will the one in March be the 26th as well? k |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 27 Jan 05 - 11:29 AM And don't freeze the cream cheese - both lessons learned at my New Years Eve party. I haven't figured out a permanent date, Karen. We may be alternating with other houses. But it will be posted here ASAP and there is a bed for you. Mary |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Micca Date: 27 Jan 05 - 01:18 PM Linn, if you think Mary is bad at directions ask Sins about Berts Directions for finding Mudcat Central when I came to the 2001 Getaway!!!!! we spent a few happy hours ?touring? Western Pennsylvania. |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Bat Goddess Date: 27 Jan 05 - 04:22 PM To be fair, it wasn't just the inaccurate directions -- the Maine Turnpike Authority's signage was atrocious! They'd recently renumbered all the exits and previous exit numbers were only readable as you went PAST the exit. And the reflective verbage on the signs wasn't reflective. Very very tricky to read in the dark and the rain. At least I'd actually been to Mary's house (but, alas, from her OLD house!) before and Tom and I were at least conversant with the general layout of South Portland and Portland. Tom had muttered things like "I'm never coming to Maine ever again" and the like. But by the next morning he'd forgiven Mary for the less than optimal directions and had had a wonderful time at the party and was looking forward to doing it again. And I have since gotten much much better directions from Yahoo Maps. Of course, that won't help the Maine Turnpike Authority's problems. Linn |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Brían Date: 27 Jan 05 - 09:15 PM Actually Kendall navigated me to the Micca gathering at SINSULL's. Brían |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Charley Noble Date: 28 Jan 05 - 04:25 PM Maybe Capt. Morse could provide the longitude and latitude and we could just input the data to the new GPS units we got for Xmas. It's easier to find the 2nd time around. So carpool with someone who's been there. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Brían Date: 28 Jan 05 - 05:03 PM Why not stellar navigation (weather pemitting, of course)? :-) Brían |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 28 Jan 05 - 06:14 PM I hate you all. |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Tinker Date: 28 Jan 05 - 06:15 PM Wish I was a tad closer.... maybe once the weather gets warmer I'll take a ramble up your way. The directions aren't a problem, only the time factors. tink |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: kendall Date: 28 Jan 05 - 08:11 PM Listen me hearties and mark well what I do say, From the Maine turnpike, take exit 45 (formerly 7) go straight through the toll gates until you hit US route one. You must turn either right or left. If you go right you will get lost, so, go left toward the center of town.(East) Pass the RR yards on your right. At the first MAJOR intersection, (Cash Corner) take a right on Broadway. Continue in the right lane until you see Amato's sandwich shop.....[address deleted] See you there.
-Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 28 Jan 05 - 10:58 PM Uh...Kendall???? This is the internet. Now every wacko in the world knows my address and phone number! Have you lost your mind? SINS |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Naemanson Date: 29 Jan 05 - 02:22 AM Time to move Sins. I heard a couple of Japanese discussing your address just this morning.... Wish I could make it but I guess a quick trip home is out of the question. Besides, I have to be at the American Embassy sometime around that date. |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Brían Date: 29 Jan 05 - 06:46 AM Mark his word well or he will be a sore vexation to thine soul. Or thou and thine hind quarters shall lead thee astray... Brían |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: kendall Date: 29 Jan 05 - 07:52 AM Sorry about that, paint fumes...anyway, Joe deleted your address. |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: kendall Date: 29 Jan 05 - 08:57 AM I can't believe I was that thoughtless. I used to tell my kids, "Pay attention to what you are doing." Guess I'd better look into the mirror. I do apologize most humbly, Sinsull. |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 29 Jan 05 - 09:51 AM At least now I know who put "For a good time, call SINS at (phone number deleted) on the Men's room wall at RIRA's. No harm done, Captain. Maybe I will actually get a date out of it. Too bad I don't speak Japanes. SINS |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: kendall Date: 29 Jan 05 - 02:01 PM You don't spell it any better! |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Brían Date: 29 Jan 05 - 02:06 PM Domo aragata. Brían |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: MaineDog Date: 29 Jan 05 - 04:16 PM Will it always be 4th Saturday? That's the day of the regular Simonton's Corners contradance. MD |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Bat Goddess Date: 29 Jan 05 - 05:52 PM Third Saturday is the Portsmouth, NH Press Room sea music singaround. Linn |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 29 Jan 05 - 10:23 PM No - we are hoping for some input before we set a permanent date. Fridays are bad because of the Press room. |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Brían Date: 01 Feb 05 - 11:45 PM Hey, let's not let this thread stay below the horizon line. if Portland people don't start contributing I'll start talking about the wonderful late-night offerings on the cable community access channels. Brían |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Amos Date: 01 Feb 05 - 11:52 PM You guys make me wish I was back in Boothbay!!LOL! A |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 10 Feb 05 - 02:10 PM Update: Jacqui and I have taken to wearing our Getaway buttons around the neighborhood and it worked. We have netted one eager 60s folkie Mom with a fiddler son and his group. Mom is a defimite. Hope she can snare the group. And pray for me that there is a banjo player in the bunch. I have an offer of mini-quiche. Is that folkie food? SINS |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: GUEST,MMario Date: 10 Feb 05 - 02:13 PM I think the "quiche" part is - not sure about "mini" |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Charley Noble Date: 10 Feb 05 - 03:04 PM Amos- Did you inspire this ditty: In Boothbay Harbor there lives a whale, And she eats codfish by the bale, By the hat box, By the pillbox, By the shoebox and the schooner! Her name is Daisy and she's a peach, But don't let Amos within her reach, Or Mudcats, Or Dogfish, Or Chocolate Ice Cream Sodas. She probably still misses you. Cheerily, Charley Noble in the BLIZZARD OF 2005 |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: jacqui.c Date: 10 Feb 05 - 03:13 PM Mary - re the banjo player, have you checked the Getaway thread. They reckon they can keep you under control by introducing you to Leadfingers...... |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 10 Feb 05 - 05:37 PM I have resisted banjo players at the Getaway in the past. If Mick thinks I can be undone by a banjo player...I hope he's right. It's been a while since I have been undone. |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Brían Date: 10 Feb 05 - 07:58 PM Good. I'm glad someone revived this thread. I have way too much information on Helen Haas and her hundreds of hats. Brían |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: ranger1 Date: 11 Feb 05 - 05:26 PM Count me in! But remember, it's a LEFT at Amato's!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Brían Date: 20 Feb 05 - 10:25 AM Oh, heck. I'll bump this to the top again. Brían |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Charley Noble Date: 20 Feb 05 - 02:19 PM Well, it's left at Amato's if you're heading West. It's dead ahead if you're coming from the North. How's that for clarification? I'll try to make it, given clement weather. It's clear that banjos are not welcome... Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 20 Feb 05 - 04:08 PM Banjo players get first choice at seating, food service, and beverages. So far the weather looks good - mid 30s and sunny. Hope it holds. I would appreciate an approximate head count and a heads up if you plan to spend the night. I still have room for four more sleep-ins. Please note: I have cats and cat hair. Take your allergy meds before entering. I have noted two gluten intolerants. Anyone else have special needs? SINS |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 20 Feb 05 - 04:08 PM Last minute singers/musicians are welcome. No reservations required. |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Brían Date: 20 Feb 05 - 08:17 PM I may shanghai a greenhorn for this voyage. Brían |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: GUEST,Julia Date: 20 Feb 05 - 08:31 PM Have harp , will travel...do you allow anyone from north of the Kennebec? Julia & Fred |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: jacqui.c Date: 20 Feb 05 - 09:34 PM Anyone from anywhere welcome. |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 21 Feb 05 - 01:37 PM Julia and Fred? That will be a treat. Practice Mr. Eneos for me unless you can snag Gordon Bok to do it himself. Need a bed for the night? SINS |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: GUEST,julia Date: 21 Feb 05 - 05:10 PM Thanks! We are really looking forward to a good song session with great folks- barely got do anything or see anyone last week in Belfast as we had a gig. Can you send directions to castlebay@castlebay.net? What kind of foodlike objects can we bring? best- Julia |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 22 Feb 05 - 04:56 PM All food donations are cheerfully accepted but none required. Currently we have Linn and Curmudgeon, jacqui and Kendall, Me, Charley (and Judy?), Brian and a newbie, Ranger1, Fred and Julia, Bobbi's friend Mike and his wife, Polly, Nor and Ely (?), Is winterbright coming with an entourage from up north? Anyone call Captain Bunker (DOH!). Anyone missing? The weather report is less promising but not horrible. |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: jacqui.c Date: 22 Feb 05 - 06:40 PM I'll be bringing mini quiches and sausages wrapped in bacon. |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Tinker Date: 22 Feb 05 - 06:44 PM There is now a slight chance I will be up for Saturday if I can spend the night. I'll check in with my folks in Massachusetts Friday and Sunday night..... Cross your fingers there are no further unusual health issues on the radar for the family... It's been a bizarre few months and I could use a break. Tinker |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 22 Feb 05 - 08:29 PM Great, Tinker! I will have a bed ready for you. And a bit of wine. Sounds like you need it. SINS |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: GUEST, Bat Goddess Date: 24 Feb 05 - 12:42 PM Tom just found out he's working a full day on Saturday, so we may be a bit later than 6 p.m. We've got a rehearsal on Sunday we're s'pozed to go to, but depending on when we get home, one or both of us may give it a miss. Linn |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: GUEST,Charley Noble Date: 24 Feb 05 - 12:46 PM Sinsull- Looks like Nor and Eli are tied up with running sound for Cherish the Ladies at the Chocolate Church in Bath Saturday night. JudyB and I are still probables depending on our energy levels and the weather. The weather at least looks reasonable, and I should be able to find my way to your house unless you've moved again. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Brían Date: 24 Feb 05 - 01:36 PM I am going to a benefit for Haiti at Sacred Heart Church on Mellen Street, Portland but will be there 7:30ish Brían |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: GUEST,Julia Date: 24 Feb 05 - 07:18 PM Well, WE are coming- what time would be good? TTFN Julia |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Naemanson Date: 24 Feb 05 - 10:42 PM Igh, song circles and friends. I hope to get to do some of that in September when I come home! |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Naemanson Date: 24 Feb 05 - 10:42 PM That's supposed to read "Sigh...." |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Brían Date: 25 Feb 05 - 11:00 AM Good, Naemanson. I thaought you were cursing in Chamorro. Brían |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: GUEST,Bat Goddess at work Date: 25 Feb 05 - 11:45 AM It's really convenient having to drive past my mechanic's garage to and from work. This morning I was about 10 minutes from work when my catalytic converter fell off. (I love winter.) Turned around and dragged it(carefully)through the slop on the road back to Jim's Garage. I would have been only a few minutes late for work, but Jim was missing a seal so he had to send someone to the parts place to get it. As it was, I was only an hour and 15 minutes late -- which didn't really matter much as I'm alone today. BTW, Tom's car was already there getting the strut repaired from the collision 2 weeks ago. We'll prolly be heading to South Portland tomorrow in the rental car. Cars! Winter! Arghhhh! Linn |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 25 Feb 05 - 02:51 PM Update: We officially start at 6PM, Julia, but... Tinker is on her way and will be here tonight. Kendall and Jacqui will be here early to move furniture and, in Kendall's case, to curmudge. So arrive whenever but early may mean you will be put to work. Linn - car trouble sucks! But I found a wonderful treasure for you at the local Goodwill store. It is worth the trip. Guinness and Shipyard Winter Ale are in stock. Red and white wine, bottled water. Food - lasagne (red with meat/white with veggies), assorted cheeses with green grapes, mini quiches, spinach dip with veggies and crusty bread, green salad, shrimp with cocktail sauce, chicken wings, coffee, tea, and maybe some mini apple pastries. There is enough food for an army but little sweets so if you feel inclined... Otherwise, all systems are go. If the weather decides not to cooperate, I will be the most popular lady at the local soup kitchen. Who knows? Maybe I will find a banjo player. SINS |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Bat Goddess Date: 26 Feb 05 - 12:44 PM I've sent directions to a few people -- Steve Carrigan is probably coming. A few of the others are interested in next time. The Coffeehouse is at the local (Portsmouth) UU church tonight so that's siphoning them off. Where the hell is Jeri? (Actually she, like Tom, is probably working today.) I'm just surprised we haven't heard from her. Linn |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 26 Feb 05 - 12:57 PM I spoke with Jeri at the Press Room. She is a definite maybe. |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Sandy Mc Lean Date: 26 Feb 05 - 04:05 PM My wife and I are stockcar fans and we regularly travel from Cape Breton to Maine for the Oxford 250 . This year the race will be later than usual(July 31) but we expect to be there. The 29, 30, & 31 will be tied up with racing but if there are jams before or after between Portland and Bangor I would be very interested. I keep my guitar close at hand and may even have a few Keiths left. Sandy |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Jeri Date: 26 Feb 05 - 05:54 PM I WAS at work and now I'm home and I think I'm gonna stay hear cause I was reading kids's righting all daye and my eys don work to good and I real tired and I woud porbally fell aslep on the way and your porbalby thinking where is the puncturation Jeri but we don need no steenin puncturation Anyway I hope you have a funn tim Now ware didd I put the fockin scutch... |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: jacqui.c Date: 26 Feb 05 - 11:36 PM Sorry you couldn't make it Jeri - hope you found the Scotch OK. We've just got back from a great evening. Lots of music and laughter with a great bunch of people. Hopefully this will be the first of many such evenings. By the way, Seamus enjoyed the evening as well. |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Brían Date: 27 Feb 05 - 01:54 AM Yes, Seamus certainly making the rounds and kissing all the girls as well. It was great to see Fred and Julia. Kendall had me laughing so hard on the OLD MACDONALD song and the joke about the talking dog {that I miracuously remembered when I got home). I am slap-happy tired and better get to bed. Thanks, SINSULL. Brían |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: GUEST Date: 27 Feb 05 - 02:38 PM Grand time! Both Tom and I were working on a sleep deficit to start out with plus Tom had spent the day (with Jeri) dealing with the tests, but we both managed to stay more or less awake and lucid until 2 a.m. (Well, awake anyway.) Some wonderful music and some people we hadn't met yet -- Mike's got a marvelous repertoire. Always nice to see Fred & Julia -- especially when we actually get a chance to TALK, too. And more conversation time with Tinker! Kendall, thanks so much for your accompaniment on Joan Sprung's song, "Harbours of Home"! At least this time we remembered to sign the closet. And we're getting the breakfast preparation of scrambled eggs and cream cheese down to a science. Linn |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: GUEST,Bat Goddess Date: 27 Feb 05 - 02:39 PM Damn! I'm in by the numbers and I forgot to put my "Guest" sig on that last post. Linn |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 27 Feb 05 - 06:16 PM That was fun! Let's see if I can remember who was here...Kendall, Jacqui, Tinker, Linn, Tom, Kat Logan and son Jonathan, Fred and Julia, Tami, Brian, Mike and Kathryn, Me. Am I missing anyone? Highlights: Tami's first solo performance - a Norwegian children's song, Kendall's Old MacDonald's Deformed Farm, Linn's Harbors of Home, Jacqui's Beautiful Dreamer Parody, Brian's Jackass Song and his foray into C&W in English not Gaelic, Tinker's B.O.B. sans props, Kat's song about her son (title?) left me all misty, Fred and Julia's song about hearts carved in a door and so many others, Mike's Geraldine. Favorite moments: Alice the Slut blissfully nuzzling Fred's ponytail while he just continued to sing. Wonder who he thought that was? And best of all watching Kendall laughing and singing and thoroughly enjoying himself. Good to have you back, Captain. I feel so lucky to have my home filled with so much music, laughter, and genuine goodwill. Thank you all. SINS |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: kendall Date: 27 Feb 05 - 08:36 PM It was a nice gathering; I had a very good time even after a very long day with jacqui cracking the whip over me building her a cd rack. She read "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and thought Simon LaGree was the hero. |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: KathWestra Date: 27 Feb 05 - 08:37 PM Next time, I'll be there. So please reserve me one of those advertised beds, Mary. Come hell or high water, I'm gonna make this one. Now when is it? I heard rumors that you're intending to do this regularly.... Love to all mentioned, and especially you, Sins. I promise I'll call. It's been weird up here. Kathy |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Charley Noble Date: 27 Feb 05 - 08:44 PM So sorry to miss this one. We were busy setting up a new computer system and felt fried by the time evening rolled around. Glad you all got a chance to hear Kat Logan sing. She's got a great voice and writes some nice songs as well. Charley Noble and JudyB |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 27 Feb 05 - 08:51 PM When Jacqui isn't running Kendall ragged, she is over at my house supervising the disintermant of the second upstairs bedroom. YAVULTCOMMANDANT!!!!!! Of course this means there will be another guest room maybe by the next song circle. Your name is on it, Kath. |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 27 Feb 05 - 08:57 PM disinterment! Poofreed! |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: GUEST,Julia Date: 27 Feb 05 - 09:01 PM Hi Folks- Extra special evening- thanks so much Sinsull for putting up with some of us and putting up the rest. Makes it possible for folks to come from a distance, and we get to see people we haven't seen for ages. Good to hear lots of crazy new & old songs Hooray for ranger1!! I always knew she could sing. Keep us posted re: next time ttfn Julia |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: jacqui.c Date: 27 Feb 05 - 09:58 PM I only organise those who want to be organised! By the way, Kendall drove himself to finish the rack - I'd have been quite happy if he'd left it to finish today..... maybe. |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Brían Date: 27 Feb 05 - 10:14 PM Thanks a lot, SINSULL. It was great to get a chance to hear Kat who I hadn't seen in years. It was especially nice to hear Julia's harp. Ditto for ranger1! I feel much better since I came out of the closet (or was that the bathroom)about my dirty little C & W secret. Are there support groups for cross-pickers? There seemed to be a lot of interest in I have some pictures to send to pene azul after I have time to go through them. Brían |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: NanArt Date: 27 Feb 05 - 10:25 PM T'was a wonderful Song Cirle too! So many wonderful songs. I enjoyed every minute. Thank you so much Mary!!! Kathie M. from the Press Room. |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Bat Goddess Date: 28 Feb 05 - 07:54 AM Hey, Kathie! You decided to become legit and formally join Mudcat! Cool! Speaking of pictures. I'm looking forward to your documentation of the evening. Will they be ready for viewing Friday at the Press Room? I can scan them and send them to Pene Azul to post in the Events section. (Have you discovered that part of Mudcat yet?) Linn |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Tinker Date: 28 Feb 05 - 12:41 PM Well here I am back in New Jersey and definately wishing it wasn't quite so far away. I can definately put a high satisfaction rating on both the company and accomadations. Seamus and all four cats graciously let we humans provide the evening entertainment. The music was wonderful and the conversation great fun. SINSULL, Jacqui and I spent a bit of time conspiring over possible Getaway plans. Lots and lots of laughter... I got to give Kendall the most obnoxious musical "HeartFrog" who plays achy breaky heart. Jacqui is talking about taking it on the road for photos. We'll see..... Love all, tinker |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Brían Date: 28 Feb 05 - 12:56 PM My only regret of the evening was that my camera batteries died before I got a picture of HeartFrog to send to pene azul. Brían |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: SINSULL Date: 28 Feb 05 - 02:21 PM Ah yes. How could I forget? Brian just couldn't get a tune down so he went off into the bathroom (not sure why he picked the bathroom when there were at least five other options) and noodled around with his flute. We all sat quietly outside listening to sixteen variations on a theme and then acted innocent when he came out triumphantly ready to perform BUT Kendall was too fast for him. Poor Brian had a look of dread on his face as he worried that he would lose the tune again before he got to sing it - a very lovely song about lilacs in time for his wedding day. Fred did Mr. Eneos for me as well as a wonderful song that incorporated all the main characters of the "Quiet Man". Any chance of getting the lyrics, Fred? Julia and Kat's voices are stunningly beautiful. What a treat to have my home filled with music. March 25th is Good Friday. Does that work for people for the next circle? We could also do April 1 or 2? But April Fool's Day is a Friday and I don't want to lose the Press Room folks. Mary |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: kendall Date: 28 Feb 05 - 03:26 PM Tinker, that damned frog should be on the road...I suggest the Maine turnpike in the passing lane. |
|
Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Bat Goddess Date: 28 Feb 05 - 06:30 PM Despite it being Good Friday, there IS a Press Room session on March 25th so Saturday the 26th would be better for us. Good Friday at the Press Room is always an interesting night -- there are a few people absent for religious reasons, but usually there's a bunch of new people who show up to listen for the first time. And it also tends to be a quieter, gentler session (at least for the early part of the evening). Linn |

Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: ranger1 Date: 28 Feb 05 - 07:46 PM Thanks for a great evening, Mary. Julia's been trying to convince me for years that I can sing. Guess she was right. Thanks for all the encouragement everyone. Oh, and the single malt didn't hurt, either! Looking forward to next time, and maybe I'll try something in English then! |

Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Brían Date: 28 Feb 05 - 11:37 PM It was great to hear you ranger1. We have talked a lot about singing but I never heard you sing before. Now you told me that you have some interesting recordings of family members singing. Why don't you dig those out. SINSULL the bathroom seemed the logical place to go for some reason. Maybe it had to do with the general theme of the evening:-). Brían |

Keep us posted. Kathy p.s. Can't wait to meet the frog, Kendall. Maybe you should send him to Helen Schneyer as a get-well present. Sounds like one of those gifts that should keep on giving... |

Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Charley Noble Date: 07 Mar 05 - 05:26 PM Brían- Who ever said you couldn't teach an old dog a new trick! Nice pictures. What a handsome crew and no one is taking a swing at anyone! Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Song Circle at SINSULL's From: Brían Date: 07 Mar 05 - 09:48 PM Thank you, Charley Noble. You and your crew mates were missed. I hope to see you all at the next one. I'll make sure my camera batteries are charged. They went dead on me in the middle of the evening. I must say, no offense to kendall, that HeartFrog was really something to behold. Too bad we don't have a Mudcat Events video gallery. :-) Brían |
