Well this does cheer me up, seeing all these familiar and unfamiliar names. Joel that's great, Pearl's name was conspicuously missing in your original post and I was wishing she could come. Art, I PM'd you so we can learn a little more about your musical interests. Amos, we'll hope you can make it.

Karen, I PM'd you too.

I am planning on it, but there are a couple of If factors I have to settle on; the chances are good though.

I'm planning to go, Barry. After last year, I don't want to miss it. Maybe I'll even plan ahead for a ride out there this year!

thanks for the hello, rita. i saw your hubby for a moment at the takoma park festival. he seems like he's holding up. you both are very sweet people. last night my wife pearl agreed to come to the getaway for saturday and sunday. so that's great. she has gotten good on mouthharp - we play a lot of fiddle-tune duos and of course she's in my jazz band barrelhouse brawl where she sings and blows the blues.
gene rosenthal is adelphi records and sandra is his fairly new wife, niece of ted koppel. she has moved here from california.

Oh, glad to hear you'll be there, Roger and Marge! And Joel B and Charlie Bean too! Oh my. Sitting here smiling at the computer. Don't know Gene and Sandra (do I?) but looking forward to meeting them.

Marge and I have signed up! Although Marge is not so sure about these bunk beds. I guess this will be about number five or six which makes me a newbie. The Getaway is the first thing that goes up on my calendar each year. The blend of the FSGW crowd and the Mudcatters seems to have worked out just fine. It is a mutual admiration society. The people you see on these threads is only a portion of who shows up in real life.

I will probably come out on Saturday as a day-tripper (a one-way ticket, man), which means getting there for lunch, staying through dinner and the concert, then going home to the comfort and accessibility of my own bed and cats. (When the FSGW finds a Getaway site that not only has handicapped accessible bedrooms but also provides Rent-a-Cats for the night, I might consider staying over again...)

i'll be going in the company of gene rosenthal and (his wife) sandra koppel. i remember getaways going back to the late sixties. i am always hoping to find people who want to join me at a piano to do folk blues, jug band tunes, and primitive gospel. i will bring my fiddle and some lead-free beverage. my friend charlie bean says he plans to come, a fine guitarist with a great voice.

I'll be there for some, if not all of the time (Still negotiating for the Momday off) and might be able to provide a stopover point again in Laurel Maryland for one or two Catters.

Does that mean I get Barry visiting on the way down ????? This is getting more and more exciting. I love being the one-day's-ride-from-Maine stop over point. If anyone else needs a stop over on the way just let me know.....I may not get my whole horde to Getaway, but the last few years I've gotten part of Getaway to them both coming and going.

I'll be there. And Chance, the only good thing that may come out of it if Dani really can't come, is I will be at your place on Thursday night!

Sister Annie doesn't come on to Mudcat much, but she is planning on being there also.

Geeta and I will be there. The site sounds lovely - and I've never been to a Getaway when there wasn't good music, good company, and good foo... well, naybe not so much on the food end. But good music and good company. We're looking forward to it.

Susette and I will be there, Mr. Barry, and if you're in the area, as you must for the Getaway is only and hour from Chez Fortunato, we love to have you on the Thursday before when we do pre-getaway singaround. PM me if you're coming in in time and we'll make arrangements for you.

cheers,
chance

OK, ya don't have ta say ya going or knot because ya may already have posted that on a different thread. But that 'Who's Knot Thread' was getting to be the answer to "Why We Sing The Blues". Almost like takin depression 101 in high school, an it ain't like that. These folks that are "has beens" but this year they're "crying can't's" know what there missing an don wanna miss it butts.....

Ok now I wanna let ya know that in some other thread it's been mentioned if it's money see one of the commitee people, they said the scholarship fund is healthy. And a good thing too, cause the last 2 yrs when I wasn't (healthy) & ta boot I was hard strapped for cash cause of it, it saw me through & it was a good thing cause it helped me ta get better & I'm glad to be in a better place now but the best place ta be come November is here at the Getaway. Even you folks that are thinking that ya don't know anyone or yor only a newbe or just a recent guest ta MudCat or yar too shy or that yar don't really sing or play stumpin it's still a place that ya gotta go to. Ya may not believe it till ya see & hear it but after ya've been there you'll know that there's a sort of family tie formin in yar gut that'll grow & drive ya to come again the next year & the years after.

So anyway, who's going besides me???

Love ta see ya all there (I don't really talk this way, I just sing this way,,,, if ya ask)

Barry
