GrrrSnapSnrrlGrowwwlll...

 Three weeks ago my friend BagLadyLorraine booked me for the busking job I did last year at the Phoenixville PA Firebird Festival (aka "Burning Bird"   8).      This year I may get a fee in addition to what I can get people to drop in my hat or pay me for CD's.    All seems good.

One of my favorite events of the last few years has been Bhakail Yule    (aka Branslers and Extended Family Christmas and Dance Music Jam).     I haven't seen  woodwindy  since before Mina was a bump   8(     I want to sing with  siobhan1214   and   t_bard   and  shalmestere  and  hudebnik   (although, fair's fair, the three of us can jam whenever the mood and the schedules allow   8)   and whoever else comes along.

You all know what I'm about to say, so I'm not gonna bother to say it    8(

All activities featuring the local Champions of Ahistorical Dysfunction are miserably spread throughout my calendar with no escape in sight.     If I want to see my friends  at all,  I'm still gonna have to leave Yule at 3 in the afternoon to go to work.

Anybody going to Hundred Minutes War?       I'll bring sheet music and a guitar....

(The tale about the eleven  Twelve Fishermen is going into my repertoire    8)

On Wednesday I also found a link to the Project Gutenberg copy of "Ship of Fools" (translated from Latin by Alexander Barclay).
(I think it's a student version -- there's a LOT of commentary before the work starts.)
