Because they are not smart/cool/curious/folkie/whatever enough to have shown up at the concert and thus are not there to be handed one?

HEY WE GOT TWO WINNERS SO FAR!!! Alice wins the gold medal (same prise as silver, bronze, steele, tin, led, cermaic and other prises... a Free Sorcha Dorcha CD!) And Susan... do you have the most recent one with MazzMlani on fiddle? If not, you are a winner, McGrath won one sometime last week, should be there or arriving in a day or so... and Sinsull, for appropriate use of CapLock you also win, but check to see if your CD is the most current, if MazzMlani Swift is not on it, you win also. The first track should be Swifts Modest Proposal, and Mazz is in the forground in the famous pub painting on the cover. SO! Either PM me (InOBU) at Mudcat, or email me at [e-mail] and you will recieve your CDs! For others, keep trying, there are a few CDs to be won, as yet!
Good luck, Larry

TWO MORE WINNERS!!!! The anonimous guest, for one, who is obviously not yet privy to the wonders of our music, or a hard working folk slave, trying to eak out a living in a crule music scene dominated by corporations wishing to sell you McMusic... but everyone is redeemable, or we would not sing the music we sing to ye's. For the Anonimous guest, who obviously wants to remain in the shaddows more than to hear good music, I will put a copy of our CD in a drain pipe benieth a bridge I busk under in Central Park for you, so you can pick it up by moonlight and remain hidden...
DMcG ! You gots ah hot CD! If it does not work on your 78 player, rent a car and there is usualy a CD player in the package, or, see if there is a CD port on your computer, also, there are listening stations in many record stores, bring our CD there and see if they can put it in one for you... OR, as two songs are about my Quaker youth (and present) you can put the CD ON your 78 turntable, and don't put the needle on it, then you can experience Quaker silent worship! But seriously DMcG, you won one, as did the voice in the dark, so enjoy it!
Cheers Larry

Larry - send me that anonymous guest's cd. I'll try to track him down. Being a perpetrator of the Police State, it shouldn't be too hard for me. If I can't find him, I'll just put your cd in evidence, and try to extract the dna from it so we can frame your band the next time OJ kills one of his wives.

And steal me some whiskey while you're at it.

By the Leprichan... OJ won a CD a little while ago, and we sent it on the condition that he behaves in the future, and I am convinced that is why he was aquitted in the road rage incident. I think he has taken his promise to us to heart, and therefore we can say his is another life made whole by our band's music. Cheers, Larry

I don't want one of these CD's because the people in North Idaho, where I live, would think that the band is just an offshoot of the Aryan Nations and if I played it would make me leave the state and move to the wilds of Pennsyltucky where Susan would come and rescue me and then I could listen to the real message which is the antitheses of what was thought.

Well, a CD is only one moment in the great flow of musical time. To want this CD would be like wanting to halt this flow at a certain time and place and band membership. It would be like stuffing one cow out of a whole stampede, and leaving it mounted out there in the field while the other cows have thundered on. It would be like a dead fish plucked from the river of time and left on the bank to rot. HA! Who would want such a thing!

Here I am, watching the speedscateing on the Olympics, while the CD burner is chugging like an overloaded washingmachine, blue smoke pouring out, and CDs being tossed out of it like frisbees... and three more go into the prise envelopes! Let's see, that is Tin, Lead and Ceramic medals for Mudcat logic and reasoning... Tin, and one CD goes to Rangeroger - who has to play the CD backwards to get the real message, Lead and a CD goes to Death by Wishkey, for being Death By Wishkey, and Ceramicand a CD goes to Amergin... and wait a minute, the Russians have just put in an official objection! ART BROOKS TIES FOR CERAMIC AND A CD! So, all you new winners, PM me to send the addresses for your prise CDs. Cheers, Larry... NEWS FLASH - the Bela Russ judges called to tell me to put my glasses on... they are right, We have to put in a new class of medal, below ceramic, COWCHIP! Yes winning the cowchip medal and a CD is Jeri! follow the same directions as above!

I wouldn't want one because in the "New To Folk Music" thread, Larry spelt the name of one of Britains most notorious highwaymen wrongly. He spelt Dick Turpin with an "E" instead of a "U". If he ever comes to York I should think he would be hanged like the origional Turpin after a mistake like that.

JeezzzeLouieezzzeee!!!! Where do you go after awarding medals from gold to cow chip??? Ok, let's see, Medals made from Sunny and Cher LD plastic, woven from beard hair from Joe Burke, and... well, back to gold... Gold is hard, it is between complimenting my market savey at the same time as challening my socialist politics, and offering to hang me,... let's see, I guess gold and a CD goes to bill\sables, for knowing how to spell Dick Tarpin, and Joe Burke's beard hair is as valuble to some as gold, espcialy pipers, who use it to open drone reeds, so Lonesome, you win that and a CD, and cyder drinker - toss that one back for our trolling guest, trolls like it under bridges, waiting to eat wee goats, so I will send you a nice new one to replace the one you found under the bridge... again, follow the instuctions above, to recieve the CDs, the first bunch are address and ready for Monday's mail.

greg,"i before e except after c" is the least of InOBU's concerns. He has a learning disability that blesses him with the ability to conjure the most creative spellings you will ever see out of thin air.

Why should I want a friggin' CD by a band that claims to have Irish and folk sensibilites and:

Doesn't wear white fisherman's sweaters

Hardly ever plays the Unicorn

actually sings about INTERNATIONAL politics, rather than just 'the troubles'

has a friggin' lawyer in it!!!

has to chain his players together to get them to come to rehearsals

has a higher opinion of humanity than I do? (even though the leader is past 50 and should know better)

I THINK YOU'VE HIT ON SOMETHING LARRY!

But make sure you send one to CIUT (and specifically address it to the "Celtic Show" and any of the several political shows.

....but only send me ONE! AND I MEAN IT! (at least until you record some dennis day songs)
