I remember now how wonderfully exhausting hosting house concerts can be... I definitely would love to get a copy of Outside Track doing Outside Track. I went to that group's site... they must be fun to play with.
Hey Norah, let me know if and when you are back in town, be nice to chat even though its been like ridiculously long i dunno 2006 or something. So much has changed since then. Looking back I stayed in touch with hardly anyone from UL! Anyway speaking of changes have you seen Pat's wedding pics on facebook yet. I'm not usually sentimental (unless its about me) but the pictures really are lovely. All the best of luck to you Norah and congratulations on your continued success! Joanne
Welcome back... I passed your telephone number on to the local press guy Randy Erickson... nice guy... talked to two different couples one is excited, the other is thinking they can make two events in one day since the other conflict is in the evening at a local college.
Things are going well. I'm in Portland right now and it's snowing, which is very unusual. Folks are crashing their cars into each other and roads are being shut down. - Maldon
Hi Norah! How did the showcases go? Btw, did I ever tell you how much I love "The Mountain" from the Cleia cd? What a fantastic song! See you at the CIM fundraiser :)
