Mmario, I think our intention is to do some singing. We wouldn't be Mudcats if we didn't. And THAT could be something that MIGHT cause some heartburn for the organizers. Please note, I am guessing on all this. They may be happy to see it happen. I just don't want to surprise them by taking a potential audience away from something they are trying to do.

Ron - The best advice I ever got for working as a volunteer at Mystic is that sleeping is a waste of time. If you can somehow go all weekend without sleep you will enjoy the experience all the better. In previous years I have managed to get through with between 8 and 12 hours sleep for the whole weekend. Of course, I end up napping in the car on the way home, to the consternation of the other drivers on the road...
