Sheye, myself and a number of my musical friends had the pleasure of spending an evening with Steve Parkes (of England) who's visiting his old friend, Steve Poole in Edmonton. Like the Rick Fielding/Catspaw tryst, it was like meeting an old friend. We introduced him to Kubassa burgers (I left the burnt ones out on the barbeque to cool off) and Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale (the ale of choice in Cape Breton). Although the Steves spent the last four days overdosing on music at the Edmonton Folk Festival, they were ready to jump right into action; Steve Parkes on guitar and vocals, and Steve Poole with his harp collection (including a 1-inch long Hohner harmonica that he could play ... good thing he didn't have the hiccups.) If this is a sample of what happens when Mudcatters get together, put me down as a definite for Mudstock2000.
