And well you should be pleased! Looking forward to getting a copy of this CD and seeing you at the DC filkcon this weekend.

Error corrections...

I was just handed by Tamar the correct title for track 5. Its "The Ballad of the Chinese Doctor", not "Dick Eney's FuManchu song".

Tune is MacNamara's Band.

Thank you, Tamar!

I hope we get a trib copy or two, of this and the program/songbook. I would have liked to buy con T-shirts, but forgot to arrange for it ahead of time. 3XL, XL if either Ehrlich is reading this. Would also have bought a MilPhil 2 CD, I think. Oh well.

I sang Valancy's Home to Dad the day before he died, but I don't think he appreciated it that much - no reaction. He couldn't talk any more, but he could nod or smile.

Standard policy for me. If I use a recording of someone, I automattically will make arrangements for them to get a copy as a thank you for permission. I believe someone did grab a copy to mongol to you.

I know they had at least a couple of shirts remaining as of early Sunday evening, but not the sizes.

I believe I sent a CD copy up with ladymondegreen. Forgot to do a songbook, but we'll start taking care of sending those out in the next week or two, for those that can't be easily mongol-posted to Confluence or NASFiC or OVFF.

Can you provide me a list of whom is outstanding on the 'Northeastern Travels' CD? (I have to include an extra in one of them per request of the performer.)

I was hoping to go to Confluence myself this year, so that I could look in a local Jewish cemetery for my great-great-great-grandparents. 20 years ago when we went to Pennsic, I didn't know which cemetery to look in; now we don't go to Pennsic. But the need to be near a synagogue, or otherwise assemble a minyan, sorta rules that out. We might be able to do Lunacon, as we have been able to get a minyan there in the past, but I think that's about it.

Otherwise, I know Zev goes to Confluence, and he volunteered to check the cemetery for me if he has time.
