It just occurred to me that sending one of these little devices through the mail might be problematic. They DO resemble a weapon of some kind (what with sharpened point and all) so perhaps what I'll do is start a thread showing you how to make your own. Trust me it ain't difficult. I'll put it up tomorrow.

Cheers

Rick

Nope Duane, I'm NOT being too kind. You pick a mean psaltery!

I don't pick it, I bow it. BTW, Rick, did you receive the 10 jpgs from your concert I emailed to you earlier today?

"I don't pick it." Don't be so picky, Duane! This is Rick - everybody's a picker. He'd probably say I'm a fiddle picker...

Rick, you might what to ask the people at the post office. I don't think sharp metal objects are a problem in the mail as they very rarely jump out and stab people. At least not if you wrap them well. I don't know what you'd put on the customs slip though..."metal guitar doohicky with pointy bits?"

Rick, don't go to any trouble with the metal doohicky.

Jeri, now that Rick & Heather have assured me that you're not an internet axe-murderer, I'm sure we can work something out for the next Branford gig.

Duane, is the instrument a psaltery or psaltry?

I've never murdered anyone with an axe in my life, and cats seem to like me.
Barbara, three years ago (I think), Sandy Paton introduced us at Old Songs. It was quite a while ago and at least my festival memories are always hazy because there's so much going on.

Well Fieldings, I guess next time you know who to call. Next time you're going out of town, that is... NOT next time you have a leaky faucet.

Cheers, Marion

Barbara, It's a Bowed Psaltry. Maybe it's psaltery in Canada.

I've seen both spellings used, but I've been spelling it psaltry, because that's how it is spelled in my instruction book which came with my instrument. I looked up the proper spelling and according to The American Heritage Dictionary psaltry and psaltery are both correct and interchangeable.

Thanks, Duane. Jeri, my memory is terrible and getting worse!

Sooooo, whose red jacket is that in my hall closet?

Any photos yet?

Barbara (whose "memory is terrible") - maybe it's your jacket?

Photos would be nice.

Picked up the pictures! Some of them actually portray recognizable Mudcats!

I'll be scanning tomorrow, and sending actual duplicates to Rick, et alia.

I'll send the jpg files to Jeff for posting.

Thank you, Barbara (& Vickie, of course!). Finally, proof that I actually *have* played & sung at least once! I have never seen how I look w/ my autoharp, so that was pretty neat. Naturally, it was fun seeing the rest of you, too. Hey, Tiger, get Nora to send her bracelet for resizing!

best,

bbc

Wonderful pictures!! To see so many great friends, and look at the faces! They are having a ball. Rick, when's the last time you were backed by such a great looking (and I presume sounding) string band?

Wunnerful, wunnerful..........
