How did the festival go?

I used to play in the Friday Night ceili with two other folks in Winston but I moved up Vermont last summer. That was a fun event to play at.

Hi WD -
My family did the Mother's Day thing for my elderly Mom on Saturday. It had been planned for a while, so I did not get to go to the festival. Reports from picker friends were that the Friday night jam was a blast. (I had to cook for Saturday.) The music on Saturday was excellent. Lots of folks and kids there. Kilts should make a come back. I've gone to these in the past. They are lots of fun and that's a nice little park to have it in.

I'll bet you used to play with Fiddle & Bow folks. Hope you like it up in Vermont. If you had a harsh winter, just remember how hot it's going to be down here in August. We do have all these festival going on tho...hmmm...Maybe you should come on back.

I played mostly with Tim Binkley and Randy Candelaria, and then at the Irish session at the brewpup downtown (forgot the name. . . )

I do love Vermont - but paid the price. In he winter the in-door humidity gets down into single digits, and my wooden flute cracked Worth it overall though.

Yes - the summers here are great!
