Great idea Lowcountry! Name a time and place, I'll be there. NOT a hotel, though. I, for one, refuse to limit my singing to 'reasonable times and places'. I must sing when the time and spirit moves me.

We need trees, birds, flowers, water, and sky. With creeping sunrises (that few of us will actually see) and long lingering fire-to-purple sunsets. Black velvet night sky with peek-a-boo stars winking in three-quarter time as we sing and play around a smoldering fire. Camp?, perhaps for some; but I'd rather like the comfort of a cabin.

It has to be at least two days to make the trip worthwhile. I'm assuming, of course, it will be far from Ada, OK, although we have all the ambiance prerequisites. Perhaps those of us from afar, can stop enroute to make new mudcat friends; then journey on together to the next new-friend point; finally arriving en-mase at our oasis of song.

On the practical side, MUDSTOCK 99 (see previous thread) may have to be our festival of choice for this year. Nevertheless, I'm willing to add another venue.
