Ah friend, just in case I've given you the idea that the Fergus sessions are perfect in all ways, I should maybe modify that impression a bit. Of course folks are very kind to let me thump along most of the night, and kinder still to put up with what falls out of my mouth from time to time...

Also Good

Still looking for the definitive picture of the Fergus sessions, but this seems to capture something...

Possible

One of those astonishing conversations I would have with folkies, back when I was working that side of the street, was when one of them would tell me that the casual bigotry that is behind some humour is essential for those jokes to work. Oh they would do backflips and handsprings in order to get that little piece of nonsense to be true...

Another nice session in Fergus tonight. Good tunes, a few laughs, some new faces and one or two folks back after some time away...

A Typical Session

The Tuesday Fergus sessions have been going on for ten years now. I've spoken about them already, haven't I...?

Out After All

I did manage to get out after all. Instructed to have a good time. Oh, okay. Nice people, wonderful space, some lovely music. Some of the time was spent having those of us sitting around contribute something...

About a Good Session

I don't think it's about having rules, my experience is as soon as we make 'em someone will bend them to their advantage, although I have had people strongly disagree with me. I figure it's about learning how to behave well with one another, not about memorizing regulations...

Conditioning

Well, it’s Tuesday, so I need to decide whether I’m going to the session. I think so… mind you I’m feeling like I don’t know any songs. I mean apart from the 14 in the show. But aside from that, I guess I need to make a bit of a decision some time soon. If [...]

Whitsun

Hard to get out sometimes just now, but folks in Cambridge were having a bit of morris dancing and such...

Group Portrait

I've been trying to get a picture of this session for a while. These folks have been exceedingly kind to me over the last year or more, particularly in that they let me thump along on the bass most of the night...
