Me! Me! Me!

I'll be wearing an MIT T-shirt with the wicked inscription on the back concealed by my pack.

Wow! Have a great time! I wish I could be there. It's been ages since I saw you Alison. Say "Hi" to Lynn from me.

There were survivors! We just got in the door a little after 9 pm. There were about 30 people attending, a nice mixture of strong leads and chorusers. Lynn Noel was in fine form and we exchanged CD's. I get to listen more carefully to her luxury cruise ship shanty. Lord knows what she'll listen to. Danny Spooner was in fine form, filling the boat shed with his deep resonant voice. Alison Freeman, once again from Maine, was also there in fine voice.

JudyB did a fine job leading John Warner's "Bunyip" song.

I really don't know many of the rest of the circle by name, although some are familar from Mystic Sea Music festivals. Someone else has to fill in. Celtaddict was there; maybe she can fill in a few names.

Looks like this is going to be a monthly Sunday gathering.

It's about 300 miles round trip for us so I'm sure we'll not be able to swing it every month but I certainly plan to attend some time soon.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
