As I had noted previously, I was invited to perform at a members’ concert by the Golden Link Folk Singing Society - one of the oldest ones in the nation.
The concert was last night.
A good crowd came out despite torrential rain (more than 2 inches fell!).
There were three sets - two solo (including mine), and one with a trio. We each got half an hour.
I performed eight songs. Three of them were originals - “I’m Gonna Live Til the Day I Die”, “I Am Going Home”, and “There’s a Great Big Monster Under My Bed”. The last song was from my days as a children’s performer.
I also did Tom Paxton’s “Bottle of Wine”, Bob Dylan’s “Walking Down the Line”, Pete Seeger’s “Get Up and Go”, and an old spiritual, “Sinner Man”.
Except for providing music for church or religious groups, I had not performed before an audience for at least 15 years. It was fun getting up on stage again!
Pax et bonum
