Wow! What a response. Thank you.

It looks like I may have had eyes bigger than my stomach, so to speak. I wasn't thinking 50-100 (maybe more) people. I was thinking 15-20 people. My house would be too small for a large number.

But..there is no reason we can't hold a Mudcatter get-together at my house. I'll have vacation the second two weeks of August. What say we put it together then?

Susan of DT, I promise it will be totally acoustical. No electricity. Susan and Dick Greenhouse came to a jam this Saturday, and I'm afraid it wasn't exactly what Susan was expecting. There was a lot of electric rock music at the time she and Dick arrived. Dick was able to join in a bit but, it wasn't as great as it could have been for them. After the left we had two acousticals and a mandolin. They did some beautiful stuff. All I could think of was I wished Susan and Dick hadn't left too soon. Next time.

We can hold it out on the Gazebo which is right on the river. Or in the basement, or in the backyard. We have wonderful neighbors.

As for the festival, Sandy Hook has a yearly jazz festival and I don't see any reason we couldn't start a Mudcat Folk Festival too. I could get all the info on the situation if anybody's interested. I know someone who could prepare food to sell, and we could sell Mudcat tee shirts as long as some of the sales went to the Environmental group. I think it's Clearwater. They have a Clearwater festival at Sandy Hook also. Shall I look into it? It would be fun.
