Ithaca Festival 2013

It was a beautiful day, with only one brief downpour. 

We had expected hail, thunder and lightning, and because of that, our Binghamton members, including Barbara Kaufman, thought it would better not to make the long drive. And Ithaca members decided not to participate. But at the last minute, Richard Rand, Sara Schaffzin and I thought we could pull something together quickly. We set up near the flagpole and just started playing. Amalia Weinberg played with us for a few Scottish folk songs, and a reasonable number of people strolled by and listened. Because it was so informal, we engaged in some lively repartee with the listeners and had a good time for about a half an hour. Then came the rain. We packed up and waited for the rain to stop, and a few minutes later hung out at the food tents.

Not too bad, after all.
