Hi, folks,

Although I am not immodest enough to think that you can't do without me for a week, I wanted to let you know that I'll be away from the 16th-23rd, in case you have sent information to be added to the Mudcat Resources site. I will be visiting my parents in Missouri & they don't have Internet access. I'll give you a report on the severity of my withdrawal symptoms when I return. Leej, keep the Tavern open for me; I suspect I'll need it! I know I will miss you all!

love,

Barbara

Safe journey, Barbara. We'll look forward to a full report when you return. Collect some good old songs while you're out there. Missouri is crawling with 'em!

From: Roger in Baltimore
Date: 15 Aug 99 - 10:35 PM

bbc,

Remember Joe Offer has toured the public libraries of this great land getting Internet Access.

You might even try a Cyber Cafe although that doesn't sound very Midwestern.

Roger in Baltimore

WARNING!!! WHAT FOLLOWS IS NOT A FOLK SONG. IF YOU IGNORE IT, IT WON'T GO AWAY. BUT IT WILL SEEM LIKE IT WENT AWAY

Hopelessly Midwestern
by Joel Mabus

If you like life in the middle and not on the edge.
You're hopelessly Midwestern.
And if a big Saturday means cutting the hedge.
You're hopelessly Midwestern.
If you shop at Sears and drink a lot of iced tea,
Love to dance the polka and watch TV.
Then like it or not, you're a lot like me.

You're hopelessly Midwestern.

CHO:
Hopelessly Midwestern, corn-fed boys and girls.
Hopelessly Midwestern, square pegs in a big round world.
Well you can go from sea to shining sea,
But right in the middle thats the place to be.
The verdict is out and the jury agrees.
You're hopelessly Midwestern.

If you like your roads narrow and straight.
You're hopelessly Midwestern.
And if you still think sushi looks a lot like bait.
You're hopelessly Midwestern.
If you like Gerald Ford just as much as Betty,
And a big old cornfield looks mighty pretty,
And you'd rather go to hell then to New York City.
You're hopelessly Midwestern.

If annual rainfall is a real hot topic.
You're hopelessly Midwestern.
And if the Pocono Mountains sound kind of exotic.
You're hopelessly Midwestern.
If you like your potatoes mashed and your chicken fried,
Your green beans boiled and your apples pied.
And you ain't trusted nothin' since Rock Hudson died.
You're hopelessly Midwestern.

Enjoy the Midwest!

Roger in Baltimore

Hey Beebs We're gonna miss you, but when family calls what can you do (other than make excuses, like you're going in for your lobotomy that week). You may be computer-less, but need I remind you that you've got some phone numbers that can result in solace. They DO have a phone don't they?

"Be well, be safe, be kind, be strong.
For the times will test us sore.
And to gladden our hearts, our bodies, our souls....
Oh be here when we gather once more.
Oh be here when we gather once more."

Rick (it's from the upcoming album)

Beebs my dear........and you are for giving in to poor little Cleigh (plus a lot of other things).........You're going to do the parent thing I know, but I had previously missed the Missouri part. Are you flying? 'Cause otherwise, there's something wrong with this picture. Please note in your Rand McNally that Ohio is BETWEEN Missouri and New York ....I-70 still runs to MO and, uh......we're good for a meal, an evenings entertainment, a bedroom, etc. I realize I am probably(?) the most whacked out 'Catter of the bunch, but Karen and Connie keep me on a leash as needed. Should I find that you are driving this thing and passing us by.................

If you go In Cognito, put your money in your shoes.
Cause those Cognito women will give a man the Blues.
Oh, sweet Mamma, your Papa's got those Cognito Blues.

Hi folks, I just thought you'd like to know that bbc emailed me today from somewhere in Missouri (is it Cognito?). She arrived safely and is settling in at her parents and all is ok. Her parents have juno, but no internet access. I'll keep you posted as I hold down the fort here on the homefront.

You guys are great! I am safely back, though there were interesting complications w/ both of my flights yesterday. Although I had limited access to email, I was essentially Internet-less for the entire 8 days (1 quick look on a free, text-only version--blah!)&, believe me, I was counting those days! Missouri was fine (loved that song, Big RiB!), as were my folks. I was in Nixa, close to Branson, & all the relatives are in Springfield. I had a fair amount of contact w/ music while I was there--mostly gospel--& was able to pass on some lyrics to a group there. One evening, 4 of my cousins (all self-taught) were playing bluegrass on 2 guitars, a banjo, & a mandolin--really wonderful! BTW, Rick, when can we get that new cd? Spaw, if I'd been driving, a stop in Ohio would have been great; as it was, the time was bad enough w/ flying! Neil, I notice that the Tavern turned into a Pub in my absence. Something I said? I think we could have beaten those pesky 'possum aliens, don't you? Ah, well, it's good to be home. Those of you who've sent photos, I will work through my 32 email messages as soon as I'm able (although school starts in 2 weeks & I'm starting to feel the stress!). Please do read the guidelines for the Resources site. We have chosen to limit what we will put up, because of time & space constraints. I will be happy to look at whatever you chose to send me, but will not just put up a photo because it is sent. No offense intended. Well, I'd better get to it! Glad to be home & back in contact w/ you all!

best,

bbc

Blight you elm!!!........Had to throw that in..........Welcome back bbc! Do you have your life entirely planned and straightened out now? LMAO....Sorry, shouldn't laugh at my own jokes.......'course if I don't, who will? Love you and glad you're back. By the way, Duane was arrested while you were away for some kind of unnatural acts with a telescope. We all agreed to keep this quiet, but strikes me that you really need to know!
