Too bad if you missed it! We were regaled by the wonderful Back Porch Players out of Nixa, Missouri; an incredibly talented and amusing bunch led by Paul Stickley and his lovely wife, Carol. They were joined by their son, Greg, and daughter-in-law, Barb, and granddaughter, Kaylin who, at the ripe old age of 13, has already written 2 songs! Paul and crew were kind enough (crazy enough?) to oblige my request for La Bastringue, an old French-Canadian folk song. Despite my timid personality (pshyeah, right!), Paul cajoled me into belting out a few bars in French and, no, the CWRT will not cover medical bills for those of you who suffered any hearing damage from my debut.

It was great fun for all and many thanks to those of you who participated in the sing-alongs. (I'm still waiting to hear from "American Idol"...)
