Well, we had a great time, although Kendall is a little under the weather this morning, poor lad. Now, if they could find a single malt with no deleterious morning properties he would be a very happy bunny.

What a great night - some of the best company on the Eastern seaboard, wonderful food and the incomparable John Roberts, who gave his usual magical performance last night.

It was good to also see some new faces in the mix, and a brief visit by Deb Cowan and her husband.

Next month we have Cindy Kallet, yet another unmissable performer.

Life is DAMN GOOD!

It was indeed a very lovely evening.   I arrived with a homegrown tomato salad and left with a marvelous songbook, a book on weaving techniques, and a third on a childhood hero, along with bags of apples for pie, pectin, and cider. I borrowed a pen from Ranger 1 so I could make notes regarding one after another of John's songs I must learn. Happy bunny, me!

With all the house cats roaming around it was a surprise to see a new feline insist on gaining admittance to the gathering. He appeared to be a polite and charming fellow, but was firmly ushered back outside, where he lingered for quite a while.

What a great crowd for laughter and warm hugs! Thank you one and all, and Sinsull in particular for never-failing hospitality.

The food was great, lots of choice entrees and deserts to choose from, not to mention the fermented fluids. John was in great form, and provided almost an entire set of non-sea-related songs. George Ward's fine song "The Boatman's Cure" certainly provoked an enthusiastic response. But there was also "The White Cockade," "All the Little Chickens in the Garden," and "Singing Nelson Home." My fading brain cells can't seem to recover the rest of the set but there were other brain cells present and perhaps they can fill out the rest of the set.

Thanks again to our gracious host, Sinsull, whose home is most likely still reveberating from the sounds of revelry and song!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble and JudyB

Charlie, John didn't sing "Chickens In the Garden" -- I did, much later AFTER John's wonderful concert. (Nice choices of songs, John, and thanks for "The Man Who Played the Trombone".)

What a feast! Of food, desserts, spirits and music!

I over-served myself last night, too -- good, though! (Ah, Lagavulan! Laphroaig AND Lagavulan!)

Not to mention way too little sleep. Sigh.

Gotta get away from this computer -- and maybe I'll be able to fit in a nap, too.

The cat (who could be 'JR' and not 'John', or he could be referred to as 'Nads') was behaving as though he'd lived in that house all his life. Perhaps he was some past occupant, reincarnated.) Mary was talking about having his appendages removed.

I love the way John sings 'Carrying Nelson Home'. I love the way he sings, period, but the reason is very evident when he does 'Nelson'. It's sung with a great deal of feeling, but an appropriate amount. It's like someone smiling for real and not flashing you one of those phony toothy cardboard jobs that never quite get to the eyes. He sings it for real, and it does give you chills.

Charley, John played the tune 'White Cockade', and another march I can't remember. They followed 'The Flower of France and England'. 'What a Mouth', 'Catch Me If You Can', Ramble-Away', 'the Three Butchers', Bottle o' the Best', and a great quantity of other songs, all very enjoyable. Having bought a concertina in April, I love listening to his arrangements which are among my favorite accompaniments of any sort.

I wisely stuck to Coca Cola Until after the concert so as to be able to give you all an accurate recounting of events.

The food was good and plentiful.

John was brilliant. No one else should be allowed to sing Carrying Nelson Home. Any of you who haven't seen John perform, get yourself to the Portsmouth Festival. He loves the music; he knows everything about his songs having traced most of them back to the third millenium BC; he loves sharing them with his audience.

As to the persitent little feline who actually convinced someone to open the door and let him in. Appaerntly, he is no longer a stray. After a half hour of clawing at the front door and wailing pitifully at 8AM this morning. He came in, had some breakfast and took over Alice's chair. There has been a minimum of hissing and complaing although poor Seamus got spit at several times.

I expect we will call him John. Maybe Sir John.

Jeri, John sang the song "The White Cockade" as well -- just before playing the TUNE "White Cockade -- which is a different tune from the tune of the song.

Mary, I favor "JR" (for what it's worth).

And thanks again for the tastefully embroidered flamingo curtain! And Jacqui for the Marks & Sparks tote. And Pete & Joanne for the CD.

Lots of "stuff" finding new homes -- I handed out several books to new readers and exchanged techno crap with a friend prior to the gathering. (I won -- I got rid of several bags of computer books and documentation and received a router; I cleared out more cubic footage than I brought home.)

AND Congratulations to Linn on the publication of her story on the Portsmouth Festival I hope to read it quietly tonight and go over the pictures with a magnifying glass - I know a lot of those people.


John left here about noon headed to the West's for an afternoon concert. Peter and Joann followed. It is not often I end up with a year's supply of single malt but I have at least three, maybe four unopened bottles of 12 and 18 year old Laphroiag, Glennfiddech and lord knows what else. Of course the 30 year old Laphrioag is awaiting the return of our beloved Micca. Andrew and Carole arrive week after this I think.

Thinking over the evening I think John's Seven Gypsies was the highlight for me. The shock of the last verse when contrasted against the playfulness of the first is brilliant - I think I used that word before.

Deb Cowan's surprise appearance, Holly's flowers, the air filter cake, a new kitty, Tpm's curry, etc. A wonderful evening.

Thank you all.

We've now extended the deadline (note choice of word John!) to the Getaway so he has a bit of learning to do in the meantime.

Update on the new kitten front. About 7:30 this morning, after having a bit of breakfast and making it very clear that he does not arise this early, "John" demanded to be let out. He was as insistent about going out as he was about coming in.
So either he went to his real home with tales both strange and true about his adventure or he will be there when I get home this afternoon.

I was a witness to the Two Magicians' Promise back in August. An intense electrical storm was the backdrop. John sang the first verse, then said to come to the September house concert to hear the rest! I WILL be in Portsmouth, so I hope to enjoy listening to it there.

Still trying to figure out how any woman could be silly enough to get involved with a guy named Catchmeifyoucan. It may be the new cat's name. He was waiting for me when I arrived home from work, had a snack and a nap and then disappeared for the night. No sign of him this morning. But he did make it clear yesterday morning that he was not amused at being awakened at 5:30Am for breakfast.

I like his attitude.

All those great songs, and a new cat! I wish I could have been there.

Cta's gone. He took off and did not come back. He was clean, healthy and housebroken so I think he belongs to someone in the neighborhood. Freddie is covered with scratches so I also think the kitty was told not to come back.
I wish you could have been here too, Edmund.

I like the crown John is wearing in photo 3...it pays to know where to stand.

Looks like a good time was had by all.
