Well I was certainly nervous about meeting Catspaw face to face. I spent the whole night before thinking: "Will he be the fascinating, charming, devil-may care bundle of excitement that I see daily on Mudcat? When I saw him puffing and huffing up the hill in Niagara Falls Ont. with three possums on a leash, I could hardly contain myself! I raced up to him, and in my enthusiasm, pulled off his toupee, and accidently dislodged his wooden leg. As he tumbled down the hill and over the Falls, I could only think, what might have been!" I have no such illusions of Kendall...whom I also hope to meet some day. I picture him as a grizzled old fart with a guitar and funny accent!

Other than being only five foot six, Big Mick was exactly as I pictured him.
