Date: 14-Mar-01 - 06:04 PMGood afternoon. I just found Mudcat thanks to my pal Tommy Bledsoe. What better way to start off than to mention the upcoming Gamble Rogers Memorial Festival we put on the 1st weekend of May in this peculiar and wonderful town of St. Augustine. I'm sure many of you knew - or knew of - this remarkable man. This October will mark the 10th anniversary of his last swim...... The website is: www.gamblefest.com The headliners this time are Guy Clark, Laurie Lewis, David Holt, Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys, Spencer Bohren, Gove Scrivenor, etc. Also many great Florida performers (and other states). So check it out and cancel whatever plans you had made for that weekend! I have been here for 21 years - I used to operate Old Favorites Record Shop which might ring a bell with someone. And I actually currrently own Low Tide Records & Music (email: lowtide@islc.net) in Beaufort SC (my hometown) where I spend about half my town nowadays. I write a musical column there for The Lowcountry Weekly (sorry-no website yet). 1000s of LPs as well as the modern formats, so let me know what you're searching for. I'll also be at the long-running Florida Folk Festival Memorial Day weekend. Big fun. I have 2 CDs of my songs if anyone is interested. If you are someone I've lost touch with over the years, please speak up! Speaking of LPs, I once had a great one by Canadian songwriter David Wiffin and can't recall who I lent it to. If you have one you don't need, please let me know. Well, I'm eager to explore this mudcat thing so I'll shut up now.
