Whereas now.... *grin* Yes, a splendid weekend- not only the Middle Bar Singers' reunion, but also the reunion of the session at the Radway, so I spent a few hours playing with them too! Mucho friendly people at both events, the sun shone and I was at the seaside. Bliss. |

AND, NOT LEAST * finding out yesterday that my mate, Chris Gorniac's important pow-wow with his doctors went very, very well - and that we should all be singing with him again soon! Looking forward to seeing you all again at the folk festival in August and before! "Round goes the wheel of fortune ...!" Alan PS Sorry to hear about the boiler, Kitty - not too expensive I hope! |

25 Feb 03 - 06:25 PM (#898656) Subject: RE: Middle Bar Reunion From: Herga Kitty Thanks for the commiserations, Elfcall and Alan. I guess the cold shower at the Marlborough on Sunday morning (when everybody had the idea of getting up and showering at the same time and the circuit breaker tripped) was good practice for next week. The singing in the Anchor and the Red Lion survivors' session was really good though. Kitty |
