I was thinking maybe potluck, be sure to bring bathing suits, and any other instruments we can round up. . .still an interest?

I will come if at all possible. It's a bit of a drive from here, but that's okay. Sounds like a blast!Tyghress wrote:Okay, folks....lets iron this out....how about the last Saturday in July at the Powdermill Barn (Sweets place)? I got an okay from Walt, so all I need is an okay from the C&F crowd.

Being a little selfish, I'd like to attend at the Sweet's, as I'm already in CT. It would be nice to get over my typical internet shyness at a face to face gathering. I've been meaning to take a trip to their workshop for months, as scheduling issues mucked up my plans last fall.

- Tell us something.: I am in my 70s and played music since fourth grade. Paid gigs include everything starting with church solos in 4th grade, nightclubs starting 9th grade, and worship ministry. Had a 29 year career teaching high school music both choral and instrumental. I've played several instruments starting with trumpet as my main ax. I added flute, sax and keys after college. Early 2000s whistles were added to my arsenal. I'm back to playing again after a 5 year hiatus.
Saturday 7/29 sounds like a date I could make. I'll just be done with a week af Vacation Bible School. Picture leading 180-200 pumped- 
up 5 to 12 year olds - exhilarating/exhausting! 
I might have an AM rehearsal but I'm close enough to still get down if that's the case.
Questions:
So what time do things get started in Enfield CT?
Why the bathngsuit? - some therapy in a spa might hit the spot.
If this is potluck are we bringing lunch/dinner and for how many or just cookout food?

The bathing suit is because the Powdermill Barn is on the bank of the Scantic River, which means you can go across the bridge, down to the water, and sit on the rocks watching kids go over the little rapids in inner tubes. It is cool...and at the end of July, cool and wet are great ideas.
Let's head for 1:00...no ending time set (last year people wandered in until people started wandering out)...and for potluck I sure wouldn't bring more than a casserole size portion of whatever. If there are a dozen people with food, that would mean a fair sample of this and that. If I recall, there is a grill for hotdogs/hamburgers/whatever.
Don't not come if it rains...the barn will be available to us.
Anyone good at organizing this sort of thing?
Anyway...if you have Google Earth, you may want to search for 32 South Maple Street Enfield CT and take a look at the site!

It looks like I am not going to have the same good fortune as last year--a ride with a highly skilled and willing driver in a fine little turbo powered short--and no stranger to C & F at that!!
If anyone is going from the NYC area, give me a hoot and perhaps we can get a few folks in one car. I am not opposed to driving, but would gladly have the honor fall elsewhere.
Good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise (this is an old Brooklyn saying), I'll be there.

That sounds great. I asked a friend of mine who is a Flute/Whiste/Bodhran/Vocal/Guitar teacher if he would like to come and he said sure, I will email him the details. I also talked to LE McCullough in April and he was interested in coming again, he actually asked me about it.
