Sorry, Marc. I'm confusing it with the 'Mystic (CT) Sea Music Festival' thread.

Moderator me here:

There were two threads. One was started at 6:36 AM and the other at 1:57 PM (22 Feb). I combined them and deleted the first post, which said essentially the same thing as the second.

Marc, you can trace this thread. Click "Add to Tracer" in blue bar, above. It shows up on your Personal Page.

Or you can bookmark it/add to favorites in your browser.

Thank you Jeri. I started both. I realized I had misspelled Mystic in the first thread, which would have made a search difficult so I did another. I meant to ask a moderator to delete the 1st thread but clearly forgot. Yesterday was one of those days. Thanks again Jeri.

The thread I'd started on Jan. 22 was here.http://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=149182 I suppose it can be deleted now, but I hope Marc and 999 see it before it disappears!
