Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: MMario Date: 03 Aug 07 - 11:49 AM wow - I can *barely* remember when the limit on Bert's card was that low. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: katlaughing Date: 03 Aug 07 - 11:09 AM I think this was the very first tavern thread. Someone correct me if I am wrong, please? Fun to read it all over, again. LeeJdarlin'...just look at what you started! |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Jeri Date: 23 Jul 99 - 09:58 AM Whoops - Sorry MMario! Took me too long to read the new stuff on the thread - I should have refreshed. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Jeri Date: 23 Jul 99 - 09:56 AM I ain't Joe, but I 'spose I'll do To Mudcat Tavern -- Round 2 |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Bill in Alabama Date: 23 Jul 99 - 09:42 AM I usually bring my own refreshments (Those of us who were brought up in the mountains usually prefer home-made). And being rather withdrawn, I'll lurk around on the periphery--but I'm really having a hell of a time. I've got the 5-string in the truck, and I might even join in after a period of quiet adjustment. This is right nice, ain't it? |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Peter T. Date: 23 Jul 99 - 09:10 AM Well, since all I've been doing here is drinking beer, everyone hold on, and if Joe is working his customary magic, this whole tavern is going to move to Round 2, so that people who have slower machines can party too. Everyone holding on to their tables? Mick holding on to the Fair....LEJ? Joe, can you transport everyone in the blue clickly thing NOW! yours, Peter T. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Big Mick Date: 23 Jul 99 - 08:56 AM .........So's anyway the Aussie sez, "If it's anything like a kangaroo, we will need the room".......... (room explodes with laughter) Alright folks, nuff of the jokes, back to the music........Hey Fielding, get away from that Guild, I have had it for 30 years. (someone comes in through the door) ......What the hell was that, when he opened the door? What, Kat? Light? Like from the sun? Time for the fertility rites? What the hell do you think I have been trying to practice all night? First I have to fight off Joe O., then that damn Alan and his big stick with beer bottle caps all over it. I thought he was trying to scale me. That damn thing looked like a 5' fish scaler when I was a kid. Then some crazy fella with a Belfast accent hollerin something about his Missus and calling me a lump. Sweet Jazus, FAIR ONE, but you have a legion of admirers. I guess I don't blame them, but I am going to have to get in much better shape. Hey Animaterra, WyoWoman, Helen, Jo.......come on over here.............Big Mick hug time........Ah hell, Rick, 'Spaw, RiB, come on over, let's share some good feelings...........Shambles show up yet? No? Don't worry he will, and we will do this again. Come on bbc......LEEJ, PUT DOWN THE DAMN TOWEL AND GIT OVER HERE..........Anyone seen Barry lately? How about Sandy and Caroline.........COME ON, PHOLKS, I HAVE TO GO TO WORK............What, don't worry Fair One, I will say goodbye to you personally in a minute........ |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Neil Lowe Date: 23 Jul 99 - 08:50 AM I got entranced by all the hubub I forgot I was hungry. I'll stick to the liquid nourishment for now, thanks bbc. If I can't stand it any more I'll just get some of the pickled eggs off the bar..... Big crowd in here now, can't stir them with a stick...nice place you got here by the way, and popular too, from the looks of things....more music and laughter in one place than I've seen in a long time....
Animaterra, the only version of "Candyman" I'm familiar with in my limited experience is the one I've heard the Dead do: I'll sip my bourbon and keep my ears open.... |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Roger the zimmer Date: 23 Jul 99 - 08:44 AM The clinic let me out to tell this tale which Den's post reminds me: Some years ago I went with wife & in-laws to a rugby match in Paris. We ,England, lost but we consoled ourselves with a good meal in a tiny backstreet restaurant. When we rose (with difficulty) to leave, the table groaning with empty bottles, I volunteered to get the coats. I opened the cupboard door where I had seen them hung and stepepd to space in...it was the top of the steep steps down to the cellar! [and very close to Montmatre Cemetary!]
Fortunately a Frenchman, hoarse from shouting at the match, with whom we had been having a bilingual (+sign language) discussion during the meal, realised what was about to happen, grabbed my arm and dragged me back from the brink. A great shout went up from the regulars and my family were puzzled as I joined them on the pavement outside, still shaking! |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Roger the zimmer Date: 23 Jul 99 - 08:34 AM Hey guys, just popped my head round the door (the attendants are waiting in the clinic bus with the engine running), to say Steve Parkes complained on another thread that no-one was insulting him. Wait till he comes in wearing what he's wearing in the Mudcat picture gallery and give him this voucher for the Eddie Grundy boutique for the sartorially challenged. OK, I'm going, you don't have to throw beer mats. [You don't know how lucky you all are I don't have a digital camera or scanner!] |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Den Date: 23 Jul 99 - 08:29 AM Ohhh me head. I feel like I have two heads this morning. Hey lonsome do you have enough aspirin for two heads. Maybe I should have the hair of the dog. Speaking of dogs where did Kat get to with mine? I'm sorry I missed seed he had a whale of a tale to tell about Annalong harbour, which incidently has the most dangerous bar in the world. The pub is right on the quay and the front door is about 12 feet from the edge. So if you take a wide turn coming out the door you'll find yourself threading water. Anyway your open early today and everyone is in fine voice for this unGodly hour...they're still here from last night. I'll be over here in the corner...where's me spoons... |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Dani Date: 23 Jul 99 - 08:21 AM Oh, Lonesome? I'll take that #9 in a glass, for sippin'. Yum. And Trouble in Mind sounds just about right. Let's lift another glass to Max, and I'd be happy to sing with you... ".... but I won't be blue always the sun's gonna shine in my back door some day......"

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: bassen Date: 23 Jul 99 - 04:19 AM Well hello! I found this flyer out on the sidewalk for "Fadac's Fabulous Night of International Polka". This is the place right? But I've gotta tellya, for a real norwegian country dance flavor, you're gonna have to serve "karsk":(tastes about as good as it sounds) put a coin in a cup, fill with coffee till you can't see the coin, add 180 proof norsk moonshine till you can see the coin again, skål!. You've gotta find a source for the real stuff from Norway though, that way the coin's gone by the time you drink up...Who me? No, I'll help ruffle the feathers on that big bird someone mentioned, an unopened bottle of 'Grouse? that's a crime against humanity, or this human at least. And awayayay we go - uh-one-uh, uh-two-uh bassen

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: The_one_and_only_Dai Date: 23 Jul 99 - 04:06 AM Dai (enter with alarum) - Fadac, fellow, well met. Fadac Prithee, sirrah, and well met. How goes Denmark? Dai Well enough, but for a dearth of polkas. Cease thy ivory-squeezing anon - Take my Hopback Summer Lightning, and sip therefrom; You will find it a potent brew, and well-hopped, fruity and earthy too. Fadac (with screwed-up mien) Verily, 'tis like the water of a northbound warthog. Dai Shall I get you one in then? Exeunt to bar, where much change-fumbling ensues. Singing of 'The Beverly Maid and the Tinker' begins, which clashes horribly with all the polkas, Steve Tilston and blugrass which has suddenly struck up. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: darkriver Date: 23 Jul 99 - 03:11 AM Uh, bartender? Two gin gimlets, please? One for me, and one to leave on the table for Someone No Longer Here. The Long Goodbye. Thanks. |

The guy's beginning to look like he's gonna hurl, and if somebody starts it off, we're likely to have a mass barf here and the smell will keep everyone out of here for a month.

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Lonesome EJ Date: 22 Jul 99 - 11:51 PM Hey, bbc, nice job. I got the late shift if you need sack time. But listen- I don't want anybody else slipping out into the alley with Art! I don't know what y'all are doing back there but- Hey! Fuzzy guy... I knew you'd be back, and I'm happy to honor your request for a round on your bankroll. Here's your Waterford Cream. If you leave, don't forget your guitar. If you stay, why don't you play us a song that means something to you. Hey Max, let's throw a little Blues combo together. Seed and I could play harp, maybe you, RiB and Fielding on guitar. Who can do some vocal? Angus, I got some Glenfiddich Single Malt if you want. Rocks? Somebody keep an eye on Katlaughing, she's had about 9 amaretto sours and keeps talking about taking some imaginary "dog" for a walk- did she go out in the alley with Art or what? Don't let Banjer borrow that ladder! You know what happened last time! Now... I've kept this stuff under lock and key, but tonight's the night. This stuff is called Down's #9. It's blended at Down's Pub in Waterford, and you'll not taste a better Irish Whiskey. They say it has magic in it. They say that those who drink a toast in it will be blessed in friendship, and that it has the power to heal. Everybody belly up and take a shot glass. Let us raise them to Max, our host, who built this fine establishment. Let us raise them to the Spirit of Music, that she will abide with us. And let us raise them to each other, that through friendship and mutual care and respect, all obstacles shall be overcome. Slainte! Let's have some music! |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Margo Date: 22 Jul 99 - 11:41 PM Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, ok. I'll have a glass of Chateau Neuf du Pape. anyone know that old French drinking song? Chevalier de la table ronde, gout on voir s'il le vin est bon!(x2)etc.... Gee Skarpi, I hope you guys don't get blown away! When Mount St. Helens blew here in southern Washington state it was very messy (ash everywhere)and if course the fatalities are tragic. I'm so glad to be here after a long week! Margarita |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Liam's Brother Date: 22 Jul 99 - 11:39 PM Hey, Lonesome, it's me again. Boy, you got a line of people trying to get in here. I had to wait for 25 minutes. Who's that big Mick you got for a bouncer? His name is Big Mick! Oh! He was humming the Internationale all the time I was waiting on line. I'm gonna have a Yuengling Porter... oldest extant brewery in America. Hey, Lonesome, what's that mean - extant. Hey, get outa here! Hey, Lonesome, what's that screaming I hear? Are they still whopping little Buford? Excuse me... Hey, Skarpi, I just found this brown trout on the floor under your seat. I think it may have fell out of your back pocket. What's that? Hekla's about to blow her top. My old lady too! She's going to her folks house for the weekend. What's that? No, nothing I said... something I ate. It think it was the chili I had for breakfast. Hey, who asked for raw onions anyway? Say, Lonesome, what does the EJ stand for. Frank McGrath says it stands for EJit. What's that? You don't think that's funny. I don't either, Lonesome, I only said it 'cause I was trying to get Frank into trouble. Your big brother used to call you EJit when you were little. What's his name, Liam? His name is Liam! Figures. So who was it got 86'd today. Somebody says it was Sandy Paton. I haven't seen him around for awhile. I talked to Caroline today but I didn't say nothing. Yeah, musta been Sandy. Hey, Lonesome, I gotta go home and make a jury text of Child 83. The guys at work want me to sing it at the afternoon coffee break song swap tomorrow. Take care, buddy.

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Rick Fielding Date: 22 Jul 99 - 11:27 PM Good God! Is this what happens when I get VERY busy for a week? A party? A tavern? With music? Talk about feeling left out! When's last call? Wait lemme get the mandolin out. Anyone know Dill Pickle Rag? Hell I don't even know if Roger will play with me anymore. The last time, I didn't even tell him what song we were doin' til it was already started. It ain't Scotland, but I'm goin' to have a beer or two anyway. Mick, Rog, Catspaw, can I check the serial numbers on those Guilds? Rick |

Can't play any instruments so I just got to yodel. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Date: 22 Jul 99 - 10:45 PM Hey barkeep. Would you give me a glass of Waterford Cream on ice. What do you mean I'm lookin kind of fuzzy? I can't be fading. Don't you remember me from last night? I was sitting over there in the corner. What's that? My personal file has been dropped? Naw, couldn't happen. Let me go reset it and I'll be right back. While I'm gone, drinks for everybody. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Angus McSweeney Date: 22 Jul 99 - 10:03 PM I'm a pretty fair guitar player, not a bad singer, but I'm a terrible dancer, katlaughing. But if I've had enough to drink AND you insist, I'll just stumble along to any old waltz. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: katlaughing Date: 22 Jul 99 - 09:54 PM Well, MAG, I was actually talking about the drink, but also handing one of the guys a line, which none of them picked up on.**BG** The song I knew had some words, "Honey let me be your salty dog". The drink, if I remember right, was vodka and grapefruit juice, with a rim of salt around the top of the glass. Vile stuff, ugh...mainly talking 'bout the song. Jeri, a better version I've never heard! And, PaulG., those are beautiful words! Let's hear another verse, eh? Angus, darlin', whats yer favourite kinda dancing? I think you've got plenty o'willing partners. How about a little of Steve Tilston's "Slip Jigs and Reels"? Chorus:
And he did like the ladies, the rise and the fall

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Angus McSweeney Date: 22 Jul 99 - 08:46 PM Boy, I've been out of town too long! I don't know most of you, but I'm a friendly guy. I was going to ask for a single malt but I'm pretty happy with anything that says "Scotch" on the bottle. On ice, no water. Now, which of you fair damsels will join me in a verse of "Nancy Whiskey"? And for those of you who are single malt fans, I know, I know, a little spring water, no ice...but I like it that way. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Tavern From: Paul G. Date: 22 Jul 99 - 08:05 PM Long day at work...tired....strolling around, turned a corner...warm sounds, warm feelings, COLD BREW!!!? LEJ, kindly pour me a Black and Tan...Hello Skarpi, I've wanted to meet you for a long time...Here's my Taylor 510C, with which I'd like to try out a verse of a new song I've recently written...Catspaw will probably identify with some of this, here goes... I sat beside the Mohican River Beneath the shade of the covered bridge, There watched the deepening flames of autumn, Burned there on that towering ridge. I heard the cooling water running, Among the rocks upon its flow, There reveled in the silent secrets, That only hills and rivers know. I stood beside the trees of autumn I stood there in the sun and rain Then looked out on the hills of Ohio, And never looked at life the same... Okay, enough for now, maybe another verse later if you all want one...time for a drink EJ..WHERE'S THAT BREW??? |
