Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Funhouse, Boardwalk and Carnival
You are mistaken, s6! The Mudcat Funhouse, Boardwalk and Capo Carnivale. is ALL about folk music. Here, look around you!! The gallants and the damsels of every persuasion and tuning a beginning to gather in the arm nooning sun, on greens among the jasmines and under the shade of palms, and on stretches of beach where no-one minds what you sing or what you wear, or don't, as you sing it!!

Just over there you can hear the strains of the MArvelous Mudcat Madcap Membership Merry-go-Round, which plays Rick Fielding's own strains as it rides folks through the Chamber of Merriment on undulating sea-serpents, white stallions, pegasi, hippogriffs, buffaloes and ostriches. Just now, old RIck is singing one of my favorites -- "When We Gather Once More".    And over there, under the palm, surrounded by voluptuous women with fire in their eyes, Big Mick Lane is singing the sweetest version of Parting Glass ever recorded. And there's Wyowoman!! She's finally learned the chords to "Night Rider's Lament"!! And a voice like an angel, too!!

Come on down this way, and see what you can find to love listening to. These folksingers between them know every song ever worth singing twice!
