Subject: RE: Mudcatters @ Portsmouth (NH) Maritime Folk Fest From: SINSULL Date: 27 Aug 08 - 10:33 AM I will be driving down from Maine each day if anyone needs a ride. Carole and Andrew will be staying with me. |
Subject: RE: Mudcatters @ Portsmouth (NH) Maritime Folk Fes From: curmudgeon Date: 27 Aug 08 - 10:24 AM The schedule for this year's Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival is now available at the website, http://www.newenglandfolknetwork.org/pmff/ Weve got an exceptionally fine crew of singers for this year, the weather is usually sublime, and all the events are free. It would really be swell to have more Mudcatters in the audience than on the stage(s) See you in September - Tom |
Subject: RE: Mudcatters @ Portsmouth (NH) Maritime Folk Fest From: Barry Finn Date: 26 Jun 08 - 01:02 AM Cigarettes & gas have kept up with each other in the pricing game good thing that bread, rice & milk haven't done the same thing. Otherwise we wouldn't be able to attract anyone but the locals to folk festivals these days. Can't even afford to pay performers for gas at these rates. Barry |
Subject: RE: Mudcatters @ Portsmouth (NH) Maritime Folk Fes From: GUEST,Pamela from Ithaca Date: 25 Jun 08 - 11:22 PM Ah, dear friends. The average price for gas in NYS is around $4.25. And I doubt it'll get better. I remember under a dollar, but beyond that I'm foggy. Then, I'm a mite younger than Kendall... Even with the Prius, travel is costly. I don't imagine that this will hurt the PMMF much, since you mostly attract a local crowd. For a free-lancer like me... well, it makes sense to stay at home more. |
Subject: RE: Mudcatters @ Portsmouth (NH) Maritime Folk Fes From: kendall Date: 25 Jun 08 - 08:01 AM When I was in the Explorer I bought diesel fuel for 17 cents a gallon. When I was a teen ager gas was 18 cents. If you figure it right, things haven't risen in price that much, but the value of the dollar has tanked. When I was in the service the price of a new VW was around $1200.00. That was a full year's pay. They still cost a year's pay. Remember the Reagan years? everything doubled in price in that span of 8 years. Whose income doubled? |
Subject: RE: Mudcatters @ Portsmouth (NH) Maritime Folk Fes From: Bat Goddess Date: 25 Jun 08 - 07:41 AM Last week was the first time I paid more than four bucks at the pump -- I saved my receipt for my scrapbook. Yesterday it was $3.999, so I guess that counts both as going down and being less than four bucks! Linn (who is dating herself by saying she remembers gas at less than 25¢ a gallon -- and gas price wars) |
Subject: RE: Mudcatters @ Portsmouth (NH) Maritime Folk Fes From: GUEST,Pamela from Ithaca Date: 24 Jun 08 - 08:17 PM Wow! This is a great line-up. I wonder if there's *any* chance that gas will be under $4 a gallon (or $5 a gallon) by PMMF time? I know it'll still take me 7 hours to get there. Don't know whether I can make it this year, but... it gets more and more tempting. |
Subject: RE: Mudcatters @ Portsmouth (NH) Maritime Folk Fest From: SINSULL Date: 24 Jun 08 - 02:02 PM Oh no, Tami. That means I will have to share a room with Kendall and jacqui... |

Subject: RE: Mudcatters @ Portsmouth (NH) Maritime Folk Fest From: Barry Finn Date: 24 Jun 08 - 11:44 AM He offered 'em up the bird seed Mary, didn't ya know about those nightingales. They'll whisper in the willows & sing in the sewers if you're giving 'em the right feed. Barry, whollsingforhissupper & breakfast |

You do relize PMFF is in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, USA & not the Portsmouth, UK so close by to you. I have nothing to do with the Festival aside from performing but I'd love to hear & see you there & bring the lemons too. Barry |

We (a trio un named at the moment) would very much like to be there if at all possible. Just a sample of what I do and John and the other guy now put all that together and well... Sal |
