Hey, Rick, the "Catspaw Rag" would be a great theme song for your show. Maybe sometime you can have Catspaw himself play it on his marsupial ocarina.....
Great show, Rick - nice to hear the Art Thieme recordings, too. I've been typing reports as I listen. The show helps ease the pain.

I enjoyed the show alot. And I got to talk briefly with Rick himself. I am in awe. My kids where right here and they yawned alot and looked their shoes and walked away with their heads shaking. Geoffrey said to Greg " It's OK you know, he is getting older." (I know where they sleep.) But we need to determine the prnounciation of Tiple/Tipple for once and all. The Late Lamented Dave Guard of the Kongston Trio called it a "TeePlay" and so there. He should know and you can't argue successfully with the dead.

Is that the same KT member who said playing the banjo hurt is "fangers"? I vote for tipple (rhyms with nipple).

Alice, of course you're right. Teeplay is keerect! Now let's work on those folks still saying Bod-ran.
Joe, I'm gonna work on that "theme song" thing. Don't know whether Catspaw's going to get any royalties though!
Thanks so much folks for listening.

And I'm the one who is of course pissed off!!! We arrived home about 7:30 and I tried tuning in to Rick's show.........I couldn't get anywhere, my Real Player kept giving messages about "Net Congestion" and at 9:45 I gave up!!! We're having storms and I'm also out here on the "Dixie Cup and Thread Phone Company" where the least thing screws the pooch. I couldn't log onto Mudcat either and when I woke up just now and thought I'd give it a shot, it took 15 minutes.

In any case, I'm sorry Rick as I was looking forward to it and made sure we were home on time to tune in. Thanks again for the "honor" of "Catspaw's Rag" and eventually I hope to hear it!

Was that the Kongston Trio who sang "MTA" while climbing the Empire State Building?

I wasn't able to get to the radio online or otherwise. Any chance of it being played again?

WE've been taping shows for the last few weeks and I'm gonna send them to Max to dispose of as he sees fit.

Well, you can Click here, DWDitty, but you have to wait until next week Monday, 9 PM Eastern Mudcat time, for it to pick up Rick, who's available only "live" at the present time. I'll put a link on our links page.

Hi Cara. "Catspaw's Rag" is an instrumental. I played Keith-style banjo, overdubbed frailing banjo and guitar. Paul mills played some ukelele and bass. It will be on my new album "This One's the Dreamer", on Borealis records.
