From top to bottom this past weekend was one of the best Westbrook Musters I can recall. The weather was beautiful, the music was a blast and the company was great. Here are just a few highlights for me. Feel free to reply with your own.

• Deb, it’s so nice to see April again.
• John E. Boy, thanks for the interpretive Irish step dancing.
• Alan, that spider nearly killed you, glad I could save your life
• Dan, if ever you need any attire correction in the future, you can count on me. Besides I don’t want you to embarrass the rest of us
• Beave, good man on ye ol’ goat skins. I guess we’ll have to continue carrying the Gary & Ralph torch since there are no others.
• Richard Benoit, nice chatting and playing tunes with you. I’ll be sending some music your way.
• Katie, you are sooo grass roots. Thanks for advertising our session before I knew we were having one. Also, thanks for making me feel good about B minor.
• To those two girls from Delmar who said they were going to go find Wi-Fi so they could check out my web site … you girls rock!
• Tim, impressive flute playing. Glad I could convince you to play one more tune.
• Bosse, I can’t believe you played Shenandoah in F! Cool. You’ve come a long way in a short time.
• Deirdra, mighty whistle playing. With a little more practice, you should be able to get those tunes up to speed  ; )
• Jeff, glad you found us.
• Craig, ninety seven versus of The Humors of Whiskey and I could see the finish line for the first time in three years. But, once again, defeat was snatched from the jaws of victory. Someone has to take the blame.
• Mountain, you should play that Em tune like nine times through. Good shtuff.
• Kate, bring your pipes to Sudbury, we’re putting you on tape.
• Tish, your fifing rules.
• Biscuits, you would have been proud.
• McGraw, you know how to make ’em. Thanks for bringing them down. I’m so happy you all came. It was the best part of my day.
• Max, I know you can’t read, but Happy Birthday my little punky pirate.
• Sudbury and the Troopers, Great performances. Thanks so much for playing my tunes.
• Rachael, thanks for starting Blackwater Tide in the jam. I guess I should re-learn it now.
• The only downer of the weekend was that Mr. Dukes and The Salad Queen did not make an appearance. I hope you guys show up at Sudbury because my fans hate it when you’re not there.
• finally I’ll leave you with Eighteen fifes, Six snare, Six bass, Eight flags, Three gunners, Two prisoner handlers, One prisoner, One musketeer, One Jeff, One Commode and, apparently, a fair young maiden. Boom.
