Very sad day.
First really sunny hot day with a slight breeze and no sense of rain. Breakfast - coffee and a muffin now my milk for cornflakes has run out - then joined the gospel jam at 10. Lead by John and Kathie, various people were called out to lead Gospel songs. I gave them Will the Angels Play Their harps For Me - and it went down very well. I really feel so much warmth from so many people. One kind lady, a preacher, offered to help me out with funds to come back next year - seriously. This had the effect of making me consider this issue. I cannot see me returning. I miss Gill, and it is not fair on her to spend all of this money just on me. She would not come. She would hate camping, would get claustrophobic on the plane, would be ill with the heat and would have nothing to do for seven days. I see this as a once in a lifetime trip, literally. Which is very sad.
Then another great concert. John and Heidi - love the relationship those two have - did Rose of my Heart. Carey did Crossing the Bar!! Already I am in tears. Tina Barr did a rousing set. Then Neal closed. We all stood in a circle, held hands, and sang Family Reunion(?). Well, they sang. I was sobbing too much to sing.
What was needed was two hours of hard work, packing the stage, taking down the jam tent, clearing up generally. So I did that and got to ride in the back of Greggs pickup truck- the full American experience. Then a nap before dinner at six. Some jamming now, more later.
Very good jam from about 9 to 11, love Rick Fitzgeralds voice and guitar work. Final goodbyes and goodnight Mountain Laurel.
