Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Bobert Date: 29 May 10 - 07:37 AM You tryin' to say that I'm a bad influence on Amos, Lead??? Hey, I ain't the one from California!!! I rest my case... (Yo, Amos... Just pack the weed in yer guitar case... That way if one of the bagage handlers drops it it will have all the cushionin'...) BTW, folks... Looks as if the BobertsBluesBand is shapin' up quite nicely... Bobert and Amos on guitars, Leadfingers on whistle, EJ on harmonica, perhaps the ever lovely KT on vocals and the usual cast of hotties on the Floozeee.... B~ |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Bill D Date: 29 May 10 - 11:33 AM art... *grin*... there's 'some' things they have to do, but then they have rules for after they get little ones. I just think that even 'vaguely coded' references to substances they would object to oughta be avoided, even as *ahem* jokes, as we KNOW no one here would *cough, cough* seriously do such a thing. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Rapparee Date: 29 May 10 - 03:44 PM "Golden rivulets of perspiration and hooty"? What's "hooty"? Is it like when someone, you know, like, plays, like, a guitar or something and everyone sings, like, "Michael Row The Boat Ashore" or something? |

Subject: Getaway 2010 General Discussion Thread From: Janie Date: 27 Jun 10 - 11:17 PM If it ain't about workshop suggestions or offers to lead a workshop, this is the place for you! If you have ideas or suggestions for workshops, post them to Getaway 2010 Program Planning. (The wonderful volunteers on the programming committee work long and hard to put together each years marvelously diverse workshop schedule. They seek our imput, but find it helpful if the programming thread pretty much sticks to programming suggestions, offers and issues.) |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Severn Date: 28 Jun 10 - 03:37 PM A little Methadone should quiet those Methodists who are so kindly letting us create freely in their Meth-Lab and keep them from Method-Acting up. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Severn Date: 28 Jun 10 - 09:01 PM The church people haven't read all this yet, or else we'd have heard from them, but I've gotten word from unnamed sources that the CIA has taken an interest from tapping somebody's weak cheap cell phone, and the reaction around headquarters went something like this: "What! You say that these people are funneling money into the protesting Methodista rebels?" "It appears so, sir." "Appears so? Just what ARE these people protesting?" "Ants, sir. They're said to protest ants. There was a lot of static, sir..." "Nonsense! You must mean Anty-War. An Anty-War would be downright insecticidal! We Must stop them. We'll fly a chopper overhead and send a couple of our people in to investigate. And be on the lookout for roaches. Where there are ants, there usually roaches, so we can convict them on that. Watch out for these folks. They're very methodical, to say the least..." "Yes, sir! We'll get on it right away. I know some people in the World Folk Music Association that can lend us some clothes." ....There it is, folks!, Try and sing over the chopper noise, and if you see a couple with a buzz cut and a beehive with matching his and hers New Christy Minstrels T-shirts , wearing wing tips and pumps respectively with their shorts, at least make sure you charge them the admission. And be careful with any roaches.... "Those are not roaches, sir. They're Palmetto Bugs...." |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 General Discussion Thread From: Janie Date: 29 Jun 10 - 12:48 AM Oops, I forgot about the Getaway News---Please...what's on thread. Should have linked to that one in the program thread and not started this one at all. don't suppose a clone could kinda-sorta combine this thread with the Getaway News thread, and then change my link in the Getaway programming thread to link to the Getaway News thread? Complicated. Eh? And if I try to make another post to the programming thread to sort it out and add my own link it will get even more complicated. And it appears from the programming thread that it all comes down to herding 'Cats anyway:>) |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Severn Date: 01 Jul 10 - 06:02 AM Mick, Last year you claimed couldn't be there because you and The Conklin Celi Band were recording. Will you be bringing evidence to sell? Buy us off by selling us off? This time we are willing to listen to your excuses. This year if such things threaten your schedule, bring them all here and record in the dining area. Call it: "Conklin's In The Mess Hall-Alive, Alive-O" ....But be here! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: JedMarum Date: 01 Jul 10 - 11:58 AM I would dearly love to particpate in this event again, one day. Maybe 2010 is the year. It'd take some doing to make the schedule work (alas; one of the hardships of making your living from music - is making the calendar productive) but that is not impossible. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: SINSULL Date: 01 Jul 10 - 12:01 PM That would be great, Jed. How about a work shop on a Southerner's view of the Civil War? Save your Confederate money, the South will rise again...maybe? |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: SINSULL Date: 02 Jul 10 - 10:55 AM England was not neutral during the Civil War and we haven't forgotten that, Micca. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: JedMarum Date: 02 Jul 10 - 05:16 PM I've gotta song about England's so called neutrality! They sold a warship to the Confederacy ... all very onofficial, cloak and daggerish ... they even helped the officers negotiate a safe home to the US after the war. Great story, actually ... I'd love to do a CW workshop of some kind during the weekend. I have new CW project in the works and likely another film ... mustent jinx it by talking too much about it yet - but I am really enjoying the research and writing part of it, that I am doing right now. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Leadfingers Date: 02 Jul 10 - 06:51 PM Perhaps I ought to get Malcolm Austen's Mississippi (Re Write of Alabama) in that case |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Janie Date: 02 Jul 10 - 10:05 PM Oooh, I am imagining a CW workshop with Jed and Judy Cook. Jed, if it would take a little pressure off, there are scholarships available for the Getaway. I dunno, maybe you could approach FSGW about a house concert during the week before or after the Getaway? Do you use an agent or arrange all of your own bookings? |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: JedMarum Date: 06 Jul 10 - 01:07 PM I arrange my own bookings .... I'll need all the help I can get to make this happen, so Yes Please to both, if that's possible ... |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Lonesome EJ Date: 08 Jul 10 - 01:47 PM Anyone who attended my "Tribute to Gordon Lightfoot" medley of his entire song catalog will be interested to hear that I will again attempt this monumental salute on Saturday of the Getaway. Last year's effort was plagued by technical difficulties, including a broken b string, a swarm of pelicans, and an offshore breeze which blew the lyrics for Old Dan's Records into Chesapeake Bay. I had also failed to allow for the full 7 1/2 hours required for completion, and though I soldiered on after it was too dark to see the music sheets, I must apologize to those who pointed out to me that If You Could Read my Mind does not contain a line comparing the doomed relationship to a disabled rowboat anchored in the Niagara River 50 feet from the Falls. So pack a lunch, bring your laptop or something to read, and we'll meet under the gazebo just north of Worship Isolation Tent. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: Janie Date: 08 Jul 10 - 09:50 PM I'm gonna do like a usually do - sit quietly and listen for long periods of time, then suddenly pop up and sing something. Clairebear, Tinker and Annie, I'm also gonna remember to turn off the 5:30am alarm that is always set on my cell phone. Honest! |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 News --- Please .. whats on .... From: ClaireBear Date: 08 Jul 10 - 09:58 PM Hurray for you! Can't wait to sing with you, Janie -- and room with you, if you'll have me -- alarm(ing) or not. |
