catsittingstillBack from FKO. Wonderful con!
Stayed with Peter Alway on the way over and back, and playing music with him in the mornings was one of the highlights of the greater FKO metro area, so to speak. :-) No problems at the border. I am superstitiously inclined to attribute this to the the Respectable Raincoat I bought for the London trip and will probably wear it for future border crossings.
Not only did my concert go pretty well, but Kathleen said I was in the best voice she'd ever heard me, which made me feel really good. I thought the vocal practice was making me sound better but it's nice to have outside confirmation. Tim and Annie Walker were a delight, and one of these days we will get to play some session tunes together I hope. Many wonderful concerts--The Future Of Filk completely blew me away (not a band; theme concert--great performers I'd never heard before). US filk may or may not be greying but Canadian filk has a bright future.
Missed the Shallow End Circle I'd promised to co-host because I was feeling rotten (4 hrs sleep the night before will do that) but I'm told it went well. CD consignment table great idea and the person running it was very kind and helpful. Left a copy of The King's Lute to be given to the local library.
