Because it has so many embedded videos, the page takes a while to load (at least with my slow connection), so I've moved it from being the first page you see. So I've moved it to earlier in the year.

Camp Gitchigomee Junior Week 2026

.

I led singing, mainly in chapel and at campfires. However, due the danger of a nearby forest fire, the board had to decide to end camp Monday evening. Most of the pictures at the bottom were taken on Tuesday when some staff went back to look after things. They reported difficulty breathing, even while masked. Thus, as I type, the camp has not been destroyed by fire, it's likely that, if we'd not cancelled, some or many campers would have had breathing distress!

Open Mic at The Foundry: Sat. July 11/26

.

A new format: 2700 - 2000h on Sat. evenings. The England/Norway game was on. So I sang a couple of songs by Englanders:

The One After 909 (Lennon/McCartney), Norwegian Wood* (LENNON/McCartney), and one from Minnesota: Make You Feel My Love (Dylan). I also played harmonica on several other songs, including the finale: If It Makes You Happy.

What else have I been doing musically recently?

Leading singing at Camp Gitchigomee, and playing my fiddle there in the talent show.

Also out at FWHP in the Great Hall "Michelle Pelletier" let me play Galopede and The White Cockade on his fiddle. Nearby tourists applauded.

The Great Rendevous at FWHP: July 11/26

.

I drove directly there from Camp Gitchigomee, and went straight to the Cantine. I did not need the fries, the stew was so beefy!! There I chatted with Heidi G. Highlights included my fiddling again in the Great Hall (using "Michelle's" fiddle this time). Tourists clapped. Also, watching the cannons and muskets fire, and chatting with Thomas A.
