Bill D,
You got it backwards. I had the taste NOT to play my dulcimer.

Joe,
I think I saw your name tag at some point, but we were in a crowd going in opposite directions.
But I didn't make much of an effort to introduce myself to people as anything other than just "Russ." As a very minor figure at Mudcat, I was surprised than anybody connected me with my alias.

Jennifer (Knitpick),
Thank you. It was a treat to meet you and Bob and to get to play a little with Bob.

Everybody,
I was really caught by surprise when I realized that the Getaway was a Mudcat family reunion.
Although I was there for only a day, it was obvious to me that it is a remarkable event.

Russ (Permanent GUEST)
