Session Report, August 26, 2007

A couple of old friends from BASS came up for this months session. John O'Buttons brought his beautiful new concertina so he and Fred had a lot to talk about. Sharon S. brought some new tunes from Tucson that are very whistle friendly.

We started quietly about 4 PM and wrapped it up after 11. Good food and a particularly enjoyable session.
