But...we'll be there. I have to be disciplined enough not to indulge too much and to get to bed early, and we'll have to leave earlier than usual the next morning. Sounds like a week of "too much fun"...! Linn |

Joe is a treasure - he kept the whole room in fits of laughter for most of the evening. His lovely wife, Nora, tried to keep him somewhat in line, but, fortunately, was not too successful in that regard. Joe seemed very pleased with the fact that the whole room joined in the choruses. The after concert singaround was amazing, lots of energy and it was still going pretty well when I left about 1.15. This sort of event is well worth the time and effort that goes into making it happen. |

I gotta say Joe just owns the stage, even if it's a house concert and there's no stage. He can be hilarious and turn around and sing a beautiful, evocative piece of aural poetry.
