I'd have to keep jumping up and switching sides. Born in the West, raised in the North, home in the South, now. Great songs all around : )

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.

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!

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:>)

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...."

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.)

Why can't librarians teach
Their fellows how to read?
The Russians learn Cyrillic
And read at lightning speed!
The Japanes learn Kanjii
Of normal form bereft
The Hebrews learn their alphabet
And read from right to left!
By write a post for old Rapaire
He'll alter every screed!
Oh, why can't librarians
Learn

"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?

(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....

Amos, thanks for your kind words, however, I reckon I've always leaned toward the "camp full of lunatics" side rather than the "always been in" side.

Hils, I'm afraid that "no" isn't going to work this year. You must find a way!! Micca? DO something!

Bobert....hmmm....I'll have to think about that....

Sorry, KT... I musta been smoked up when I wrote "No need for weed"... Of course, there's always need for weed and seein' as "Amops" lives in Potafornia I just figured he take a duffle bag into his corner weed shop and tell the folks there to "Fill 'er up!!!" and bring it with him...

BTW, we're still lookin' fir a "chick" singer for BobertsBluesBand and, unlike the other ladies in the band, the chick singer don't necessarially have to have a big bottom... Of course. we do add a few points to the application if she does but it isn't a strict requirment...

NEWS ! NEWS ! NEWS! Regarding this years pre Getaway party ..
Some of you might remember Sandra and Gene (Adelphi Records)--that's us.. at the end of the Getaway last year proposing (threatening!) a seriously wonderful 2010 pre-event hoodoo at our newly renovated digs. {We live less than a mile away from Suzette and Chance's previous place.}

Here's Gene with the lowdown..
The party itself will start at the standard 7:30 ish PM. However the event will begin at around noon of the same day. We're calling it the "Great Maryland Hoodoo Crab and Music Bash".
There will be two instructional workshops: a beginners and an intermediate level regarding the does and donts, the hows, wherefores and whyfores concerning the art of cooking, opening, shelling and of course eating of the various parts of the world renown maryland blue crab.( By the way early arrivals get to meet them live before they get to eat them.)
We're also planning on providing crash space for at least several persons or couples. Sleeping is obviously optional as are PJs :-)
More on this as we get closer to the Getaway date.
Those who need a place to crash please contact us by e-mail personally-- [e-mail]
Priority to overseas visitors first..west coast, hawaii and alaska count as overseas.

Best from
Sandra and Gene-- stay tuned.

Art, it's nice to know you might have room for someone my size in your car if you drive, but I'm curious as to how that swinging by Boston en route from Arizona to the Baltimore area thing works.

Leo, I really hope you can make it.   

It'll be great to meet some of the Mudcatters I haven't met yet and see some familiar faces from 2008 as well.
