Subject: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 16 Apr 01 - 05:46 PM Yup! Bill, Sam and Ian will be at my home and we want everyone who can to be there! Here we go again!! How exciting! The best gathering ever! Warm sun, good food, beautiful music, good friends. Please start planning. You can come Friday evening if you like. Plenty of sleeping space. Three bathrooms, a big kitchen. Plenty of floor space. The hammock is Max's, should he plan to be there. ;-) That is if he doesn't mind being awakened by ducks, geese, osprey, swans, and maybe a little John Prine floating out over the water.(I've become enamored with John) Just let me know if you need directions. I'm in the resources. Love, annamill |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: Max Date: 16 Apr 01 - 05:56 PM I'm hoping to get them here on 6/12 for the radio show. One other prominant mudcatter should be here for the 6/12 show too. Any other takers? |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: Linda Kelly Date: 16 Apr 01 - 06:09 PM Shows how easily confused I was. In the U.K. 6/8 to 6/10 means 6th August to 6th October -that's a bloody long stay I thought! |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: bill\sables Date: 16 Apr 01 - 06:36 PM I hope Allan C sees this. And what about Spaw. He is one person I would love to meet face to face. Bill |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: GUEST,Sam Pirt Date: 17 Apr 01 - 08:52 AM Thanks to annamill for hosting this gathering, I am looking forward to seeing all you catters there! Cheers, Sam |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 17 Apr 01 - 09:21 AM I reread the other thread and I see that Mystic starts on the 7th of June. Unfortunately, the guys have to go back on the 14th of June, so this is the only date I can see. Perhaps those going to Mystic can drop by afterwards. Love, annamill |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: Allan C. Date: 17 Apr 01 - 07:03 PM Anna, Bill, et al., I wish I could attend this. It doesn't currently appear to be feasible. However, things can change and I know for certain that miracles can happen. |
|
Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 18 Apr 01 - 09:14 AM Allan, I hope you can be here. I miss your beautiful face and your beautiful music. All are welcome!! Just ask for directions. Love, annamill |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: dick greenhaus Date: 18 Apr 01 - 11:39 AM Anamill- Since weekends are both prime concert times, and in short supply for BIll, Sam and Ian, could you make a house concert ($10 or so admission) part of the festivities. |
|
Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: SINSULL Date: 18 Apr 01 - 11:46 AM Annamill - I have this on my calendar but can't promise to be there until... Just can't manage to be in two places at once. Mary |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 18 Apr 01 - 11:54 AM Dick, this weekend I will be talking to the owner of a local pub that is also a friend of ours about setting up a gig for the guys, possibly on Sunday (I'll try for Friday of Saturday, but settle for Sunday). We have a friend on the Asbury Park Press and another on a smaller entertainment paper called Fred's Entertainment. If I get the pub, I'll try for the papers. Plus, I am quite good at making posters and we will post around town, and send out postcards to the Jettyrat crowd who would come to support anyone we support. I thought we would charge $10 entrance fee. The pub would make money from the drinks. I haven't said anything because it might not happen. I should know for sure by Monday. If it does happen, it would be a Sea Bright gig and unlike what most folk performers are quite used to. We have a large folk music contingency in our area. After the first two sets, we would have a jam for other folk performers. It will be fun and profitable for the guys. Let hope. Love, annamill |
|
Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 18 Apr 01 - 12:03 PM If that doesn't work we can go for the house concert. I know quite a few that would come. Mary, I hope you can get some time in here. Love, annamill |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: Naemanson Date: 18 Apr 01 - 12:11 PM I will be traveling from Mystic to Philadelphia on Monday and would like to abuse someone's hospitality on Monday night. Will you have any floor space, Annamill? Is there anyone else I can crash with? |
|
Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: Naemanson Date: 18 Apr 01 - 12:13 PM Ooops! Actually I will be leaving Mystic on Sunday evening and will need to drop in on someone Sunday and Monday. I'd hate to drive back to Maine and then drive all the way back to Philly next day. |
|
Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 18 Apr 01 - 12:35 PM Of course, Naemanson! That would be grand. Anyone with the same problem, please feel free to come and stay til the show Tuesday. I have blowup beds. Just bring bedding or a sleeping bag. Love, annamill |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: GUEST,Sam Pirt Date: 19 Apr 01 - 12:10 PM Just poped in to see whats happening, nice to see it all seems to be coming together nicely. Cheers, Sam |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: catspaw49 Date: 19 Apr 01 - 12:40 PM BLOW-UP BEDS?????? Geeziz anna.....Kinda' tough gettin' any sleep knowing that your bed is going to blow up ain't it? Is there a hospital close by? Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 19 Apr 01 - 01:35 PM Aw 'spaw! I know that YOU would have NO trouble blowin' up them beds! ;-) ....(hotair).... I wish you could make it here. Love, annamill |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 19 Apr 01 - 03:15 PM Ok, just got off the phone with the owner of the Peninsula Grille and Cafe and he said we can have the upstairs room known as "The Attic" at 8 PM on Saturday, June 9th. We will charge $10 at the door and all that belongs to the guys and they will have a bartender there and the house gets the bar. It is quite a nice room, small, but large enough for a decent crowd. Tonight I will call my friend at the press and my friend at Fred's and get that going. This weekend I will design the posters and postcards to send out. Bill, be sure to bring your CD's to sell, please. I hope other 'catter's can bring instruments and be prepared to jam after the first two sets. This is not a union place and it will be very informal. It will be good. The music heard out on the street will bring people up also. Butch, the owner wanted to have two nights but I felt we may not be able to draw two nights in a row, but I told him we could have other Mudcat shows if he likes. He's very interested. I'd like to associate this show with Mudcat if we can? I would just promote it as Mudcat Cafe members as in "Internet Site Mudcat Cafe's Own ....". Any other suggestions?? How exciting!! Love, annamill |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: Susan of DT Date: 19 Apr 01 - 07:29 PM We'll be at Mystic. Sorry to miss you, guys. |
|
Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 20 Apr 01 - 10:24 AM I am very sorry to hear that Susan. This is the only time we could do this. Maybe you could stop by the house on Sunday after Mistic. Oh, you'll probably stay in Conn.,huh? You know we'll miss you both. Love, annamill |
|
Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: GUEST,Sam Pirt Date: 21 Apr 01 - 05:43 AM catspaw49 - I will never look or think of an innocent 'blow up' bed in the same light again, you had me rolling on the floor with laughter!!!!!!!!!! Cheers, Sam *hahahahahahahahahahah* |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: bill\sables Date: 21 Apr 01 - 01:00 PM If things go as planned we should only be driving over from Stroudsburg PA on that day. Looking forward to it a lot. Bill |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 23 Apr 01 - 04:42 PM Are we going to have a good turnout for these wonderful guys? Does anyone know if they'll be there, or is this too early? We'll barbeque, and dance, and make music, and just have a wonderful time. Everyone is invited to my home, and I hope a lot of you can make it to their gig Saturday night. Love, annamill |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: GUEST,Dougie mcQuillan Date: 24 Apr 01 - 08:44 AM Message for Billo Sables, we lost touch a couple of years back - I'd asked for some details on Tommy Morrison songs and you sent me words for the song OAKEY STRIKE EVICTIONS. I'm playing down your way on Wed 25th April in the Miners Arms Consett Co. Durham from 8.45 pm. At least I think that this is down your way,if it is I would be delighted to see you and if you make youraself known I'll give you a copy of my CD. Sadly I've not yet learned OSE but intend to put it on my next CD. I hope this finds you fit and well. Cheers Dougie@linxsound.freeserve.co.uk |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 24 Apr 01 - 09:31 AM Dougie, if you become a member (costs nothing, and the benefits are good) you can access Bill's personal messages and I believe his e-mail is in there too. He will probably read this though. Love, Annamill |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: karen k Date: 24 Apr 01 - 11:17 AM Anna, I really hope to make it this time. It's on my calendar. Would come on Sat. and would have leave Sun. morning. Is the room still available? If not, I'll need the name and # for a motel. I'm too old to sleep on the floor!! k |
|
Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 24 Apr 01 - 11:52 AM I have a warm bed and separate room for you, Karen. I hope you can make it. It's going to be a wonderful gig. I hope you can do some songs during the show. Love, annamill |
|
Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: karen k Date: 28 Apr 01 - 08:07 AM Thanks Anna. I'd love to do a couple of songs if you want me too. Will Bill be bringing both his cd's I hope?! I have neither and surely want to get them. Wish it wasn't the Mystic weekend but there will be more Mystics but who knows when these 3 will be at your house again or anywhere close. I'm really looking forward to it. Thanks for wanting me to be there. Hope there is a huge crowd.
Hey, Animaterra, when will they be in Keene? |

|
Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: karen k Date: 28 Apr 01 - 11:21 PM Hi, Bill. Thanks for the Keene info. Unfortunately the 3rd won't work for me. Darn. Really look forward to seeing you at Anna's at least and meeting Sam and Ian. Hey, any chance that Sam could bring some Cockersdales cd's as well? karen |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: Noreen Date: 29 Apr 01 - 06:38 AM I'm sure it only seems funny to me, but I'm fascinated by all these people that are going to be in Keene, and when it's going to be... Noreen Keene |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 02 May 01 - 12:43 PM Usually I'm all over Mudcat with gathering info, but we had such good stuff going on over in PA (wish I was there) that I didn't want to intrude. BUT NOW I'M BACK!!! Everyone's invited. Food, music, friends and something new this time... a gig on Saturday night. Any money goes to the trio, but we'd sure love to have some Mudcatters come and jam. The weather should be perfect for kayaking, fishing, or just layin' out on the hammock. The deck is just made for music. The sound going out over the water is going to be great. Maybe the dolphins will be back by then and come over for a listen. If you don't have directions, please email me. I'm in the resources. Or PM if you'd prefer. Can't wait. Love, annamill

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 04 May 01 - 12:41 PM Hi. Just refreshing to keep this gathering up there. Can't wait myself. Love, annamill |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: GUEST,Roger in Baltimore Date: 05 May 01 - 11:28 AM Anna, I will check with Marge and see if we can make it. I'm sure it will be a good time no matter who shows besides Bill, Sam, and Ian. And for those who have never been to a Mudcat gathering, I encourage you to come. Anna and her hubby are wonderful hosts. People are encouraged to bring food, but Anna provides as well. Her house is on the water of a broad river. It's so close that while sitting on her patio, you would think you were on the water. I have not met a Mudcatter at these gatherings who has not been a decent person. I may not all like everyone, but we do get along. Being a part of these gatherings requires no musical talent. You can play and sing if you want, but you are welcome to just listen or conversate. Anna's gatherings are a great place to meet some people you have only known through cyberspace. I'm not at home, so I can't check my schedule and confirm, but if I can be there I will be there. Roger in Baltimore |
|
Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 07 May 01 - 09:14 AM Oh, Roger. You know how much I would love to have you and Marge there. I hope you can be at the gig. Again, everyone invited. It's going to be fun!! Love, annamill |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: Ian Stephenson Date: 07 May 01 - 04:50 PM Hi everyone.
Just to say that I'm really looking forward to our exiting adventures across the pond! Ian (of Bill, Sam and Ian!) |

There is so much to do and so little time to do it. We got our sign yesterday and it's pretty nice. Not exactly as I imagined it, but close. I'm looking forward to June and some wonderful music and friends. I hope everyone can be there. That's getting close too. Time seems to be moving so fast. See ya all soon. Love, annamill |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 29 May 01 - 09:29 AM I'M BACK!! My video store is open and doing well. I have posters out for Saturday, June 9th in Sea Bright. My friend is putting an article in the local rag with the guys picture and bio. We are getting a good response and I thing it will go well. My computer is at the store and I don't have internet access there yet, so I've been kinda quiet. Gathering at Annmill's June 9th. Everyone is welcome to come and stay and play. We need some Mudcatters to make an appearence at B,I,S's gig on Saturday night. Write for details. I have to get to work! Love, annamill |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 30 May 01 - 09:31 AM Hi! It won't be long now! Only 10 days! There will be an article in the Asbury Park Press for sure and a friend is trying to get pieces into two local rags called Two River Times, and one called The Hub. Please try to make it and let me know in this thread if you will be there so we can encourage others. I have plenty room for guests. Bill and the guys will arrive Friday I guess, from what I've read, and stay til Sunday. Way too short a time for me, but at least I'll have them for a while. Come fill my house with music! Love, Annamill |
|
Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 30 May 01 - 01:53 PM HELLO OUT THERE!!! Who would like to be included in this wonderful gathering?? Food, music, friends right next to the water. Where are you all??? Love, Annamill (cheez) |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: Sam Pirt Date: 30 May 01 - 02:08 PM Gill Pirt (Sam's mum) This is my first 'Mudcat Experience' - Sam has just introduced me to the delights today. Perhaps I can keep track of his adventures over the next 2 weeks? This Mudcat things seems rather fascinating - and a better idea than I ever thought possible! It's good to feel we've got friends far and wide. (Sam - which button do I press next?!!) Sam - Submit message - NO NOT THAT ONE, AAAHHH!!!!! |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 30 May 01 - 02:14 PM Welcome to our wonderful Mudcat and be sure Sam will be in the best of hands here in the States. I know that I am one Mudcatter who is very excited to meet Sam as well as Ian. I am looking forward to having them in my home. This is a great place and I have made many friends who will be friends for a very long time. Again, welcome. Love, Annamill |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: John J at home Date: 30 May 01 - 03:25 PM Gill, can you send me your email address: I've got some information on Nepal for you. Could you also pass on to Sam that I've received his cheque (Ta), and that I WON'T be able to meet them at Manchester Airport tomorrow. Ta loads, John |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 31 May 01 - 11:47 AM The weather here is cool, but getting warmer and I hope the waether is warm enough to sit out on the deck and make music. I put myself in the houses across the river and imagine someone sitting in their kitchen or out on their deck and suddenly hearing beautiful music drifting across from the other side. How jealous I would be ;-) We will have shrimp cocktail of course. I haven't decided yet what else to have. I want to make something special. We will have plenty to drink and eat. I wish folk1234 was here to make that delicious beer stew he makes. Hmmm Hmmm! I hope everyone can be there! Love, Annamill |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 05 Jun 01 - 01:01 PM VERY SOON! I cannot wait! I need my Mudcat fix! I don't have a computer at home any more because we moved it down to our new store and we don't have internet there yet. I cannot access my e-mail or anything else. I can read my PMs, but that's about it. I would have enjoyed listening th Ricks show. I hope it gets archived. The weather sounds like it will be perfect for kayaking and fishing and music and drinking and eating and friends. We'll have to manuever(sp) our store hours around as one of us will have to be at the store at all times between the hours of 11am and 11pm. On top of that, Glenn's band, the Jettyrats, have to, have to, mind you, play for the local Surfers Environmental Alliance on Sunday evening. They play every year, just about. What a whirlwind weekend, this weekend! Can't wait.. oh, I already said that. Soon, guys! Love, Annamill |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: GUEST,karen k Date: 06 Jun 01 - 12:57 AM Anna, Looks like I am actually going to make it this time and I may actually be able to stay until Monday morning instead of having to leave Sunday morning. I'm really psyched! What can I bring in the way of food? This is going to be a great weekend. Will Roger in Baltimore and Marge be there? See you Saturday. |
|
Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 06 Jun 01 - 09:59 AM Susan, I'm so sorry you won't be able to come on over. Max and Bert will be coming Friday night, along with our boys, so anyone who wants to come on Friday is perfectly welcome. Karen, I will have your bed all ready and comfy for you. I am so happy you'll be there. Will you play at the gig on Saturday night? Roger wrote and mentioned that they will try, but I haven't heard from them yet, so I'm not sure. I hope so. This is getting exciting. Love, Annamill |
|
Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 06 Jun 01 - 10:26 AM Clifton, we will miss you! We could sure use your talent at the gig! Love, Annamill |

Have a great time - your generous hospitality makes such good things happen. I know Sam will be telling me all about it when he gets home. Please give him a BIG kiss from me (Annamil - are you male or female?!!) Love from Gill |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: GUEST,Pete Peterson Date: 07 Jun 01 - 09:14 AM Wish I could be there-- have fun everybody! I'm headed out of town for a singing weekend with another group of friends. . . so many songs, so little time! (hope you might hear some of these songs on Mudcat Radio some day if Max will alllow it!) PETE |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 07 Jun 01 - 09:34 AM Pete, we will miss you! Gil, I'm a female and I have a 24 yr old son, so I know how you're feeling. I'll give him a big hug and kiss from you. I know he is having the time of his life. Is there anything Sam or Ian likes especially that I can get for them. I know what Bill likes, Tea. That's it. I'm going to try to get him to eat something ;-) Can't wait. Love, Annamill |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 07 Jun 01 - 04:10 PM I am leaving work and noone will be able to reach me via Mudcat or my email as my system is at the store with NO internet access as yet. Please call me at home at 732-450-8969 or, at the store 732-450-0076. Bill, please call and give me a hint as to what time you'll be arriving on tomorrow. I'll be home about 7pm our time. See you all tomorrow night. Love, Annamill |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: Jeri Date: 07 Jun 01 - 07:53 PM Now all we need to do is find Bill a computer he can use. ;-) Wish I could make it - it sounds like it's going to be a great time. Annamill's house is big (lots of room for music and lounging), beautiful, right on the river, with a nice patio to sit on from which to watch the wildlife. There are enough bathrooms (loos). It has one floor and there are no steps, if I remember correctly. There is always an abundance of food and drink. Best of all, it's full of love. |

Oh well, Kat may read it, call Connie, Connie can pass it on to Bill...not that reports from the "front" wouldn't be appreciated. At least we know they'll turn up on line on Tue! |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: Sam Pirt Date: 08 Jun 01 - 03:47 PM From Gill, Sam's mum I think today's the day - any news of arrivals yet Annamills? It is so good that you give the trio such a warm welcome - and all the other friends too. I'll bet there won't be a lot of sleeping going on for a while. About Sam's favourite food - I'd say it's whatever is on the go. Mind you - if you want to bring a homesick tear to his eye, whisper '422 bacon sandwiches' ! Sam - I could do with a virtual hug. Please put that darned contraption down for a minute or two and mail me! Good wishes to all - Gill |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: bbc Date: 08 Jun 01 - 04:21 PM Duane D. & I are hoping to be there for the day, Saturday. He's been away the past few days, helping his mom w/ some chores, so I need to see how he's doing when he gets home tonight. I *could* spend the whole weekend doing end-of-the-year schoolwork, but I really think I need (& deserve) a break. The last few weeks have been pretty stressful. Besides, I really need to see Bill. :) bbc |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: CarolC Date: 08 Jun 01 - 06:19 PM It breaks my heart to say this, but I definitely won't be able to come. My son just graduated from high school and I spent several days in the DC area in honor of that event. Now I need to rest, or I'll lose the use of my body altogether.
*Sob*
Have a great time everybody! Carol |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: bbc Date: 09 Jun 01 - 11:33 PM Hi, all, The boys have been without Internet access for the past couple of days. Anna doesn't have access at home now, only at her video store. Duane D. & I were able to join the group for the day today; we were at Anna & Glenn's from 11 am to 7 pm & had a really *lovely* time! Anna & Glenn are warm hosts. It was wonderful to see Bill again & great to meet Ian & Sam. They are all that others have said, in terms of both their playing & their neat personalities. Bert, Max & his daughter, & Karen K were there, too. Gill, Sam is looking good. I told him you needed to hear from him & he looked up the thread as soon as we arrived at the store today. Mrs. Stephensen, it seems that Ian is doing well enough that he is actually putting on a little weight! What a nice young man he is! Lorna, your boy is doing well, too, though he's looking a bit tired. Yes, Bill is occasionally eating, in addition to drinking tea. Rumor has it, he ate breakfast 3 days in a row! We had a good visit, heard some of the boys' music, & thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I pumped Max for information on Mudcat things I was curious about. We would have loved to stay for the concert tonight (9 pm-2 am--yikes!), but we have commitments at church tomorrow & had abandoned my 16 & 19 yr old at home. As usual when Mudcatters get together, it was very comfortable, like a continuing conversation between friends. I hope you will all have the opportunity to meet & greet at least some of the group in person; it's well worth the time! best to all, bbc P.S.--In the driveway, we had cars from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, & Pennsylvania. |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: bbc Date: 10 Jun 01 - 07:44 AM Good morning, Geraldine! No, I suppose that Ian's clothes will still fit him fine. I doubt that most people who know him will even notice the difference. :) It was a real pleasure to meet 2 really fine young men--friendly, gifted musicians. Gill & Geraldine, I gave them both a wholehearted mom hug before I left last night. I think this trip will have had an amazing effect on them. To visit a country & stay in so many homes, meeting the people, & to find that you have already-made friends through the Mudcat connection. Ian's last words to me were "Mudcat rocks!" I agree. love, bbc (48 year old mom of 2 boys in NY) |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: Naemanson Date: 11 Jun 01 - 07:06 AM Hi All, I am back from Mystic and this is the first thread to read. Need to know how the boys are doing. It brings a tear to my eye to know there trip is going so well and that they are having such a good time. I miss them. So, "Hi!" to the boys, and keep on trucking. I'm glad you are having such a great time. I wish my plans hadn't fallen through. If they hadn't I would have seen you again this morning. Brett |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: Dani Date: 11 Jun 01 - 08:16 AM I love this place. Blessings on Max, again. And (don't tell my mother) for the FIRST TIME EVER, I regret moving so far down South. Hope y'all are considering a Southern tour next year! I'm really glad you're enjoying it all safely and well. Dani PS - Max, will your daughter join us at the Getaway?! |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: karen k Date: 11 Jun 01 - 09:56 AM As I write this I am listening to the cd Bridging the Gap by Bill, Sam and Ian. What a great time I had, seeing Bill again and meeting Sam and Ian. What wonderful, talented young men. As others have said I felt like I already knew both Sam and Ian having read posts by them and having seen their pictures on Mudcat. They were playing on Anna's deck out back as I arrived Saturday afternoon - a very nice welcome. I am truly in awe of the talent these young men so flawlessly display.
I very much enjoyed seeing Anna and Glenn (though only briefly as he spends 12 hours a day at their video store), Max and his delightful daughter, Bert, bbc and duane. Got a chance to chat a bit with Max which is always enjoyable. Bert fixed the winch that lowers Anna and Glenn's kyacks into the water, for which Anna was very grateful. Speaking of water, their house is right on the Shrewsbury River, a really beautiful location. I could get used to it real quickly. Also, speaking of kyacks, most of Saturday afternoon Ian begged to go kyacking to no avail. Finally Sunday morning Glenn took him out and he said he really enjoyed it. Sam had gone on Saturday morning.
Bill and Sam hope to get back over for the Getaway and I sure hope that happens. Ian won't be able to make it because he will be starting college and majoring in a new folk music degree. He said he'll be the 3rd student ever. How exciting for him. He will no doubt do extremely. This kid is so talented at 19 that it is scary to think what his future holds. The same goes for Sam who's 21. I have never been a fan of the accordian, until now. Boy can Sam play that thing, amazing.
The concert they did at the Attic Lounge in Sea Bright was really nice. I was able to tape it and it came out fairly well. Don't know if it's of the quality for Max to play on the radio show but when I get a chance I'll make a copy and send it on to him.
I finally had to leave late Sunday morning and as I was about to leave Anna wanted to show me something. They have a really nice telescope set up in the living room looking out at the river. Directly in front of the house about halfway out in the river there is a post with a platform on it. On the platform is an osprey's nest. When I looked through the telescope there was a mother osprey and a fairly good sized baby. Anna said that the mother was cleaning out the nest for the baby. What a neat sight.
Well, Bridging the Gap is over and I've now put in Bill's cd re-mastered and re-released from 1970. It's called Before the Beard Turned Grey. The cover photo was taken by Alice Flynn, one of Mudcat's own. So far I'm really enjoying it.
One last note, Gill and Mrs. Stephenson if you read this, please know that Sam and Ian are wonderful young men. They'd make anyone proud to have them for their sons. They are both well and having a wonderful time. We all wish that we could keep them here for a lot longer than two weeks.
I had a great time and those that didn't make it missed a fine time. Thanks Anna and Glenn. Can't wait for the next gathering. |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 11 Jun 01 - 10:56 AM Thank you so much for being there Karen! Finally.. I hope we get you down again. The boys are leaving this morning and may very well have left already. When I called home they were in Glenn's music room 'jammin' with Glenn. At last.. he gets to play his drums, whew! Glenn had to leave for the store and the boys were to leave soon. I'm in NY right now. I'm going to sorely miss them. It was a wonderful break from our hurried lives. I actually got to enjoy the house a bit. They are on the way to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania to see the Amish way of life. Kisses and hugs and lots of love my friends. Love, Annamill |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: Roger in Baltimore Date: 14 Jun 01 - 08:24 AM I am so sorry I missed it. I had plans to come, but as sometimes happens, real life interferred. I see I missed my chance to meet Catspaw and to see bbc again. Life has to be lived one day at a time, but I hope there will be future gatherings I can attend. Roger in Baltimore |

Subject: RE: Bill,Sam,Ian at Annamills 6/8 - 6/10 From: annamill Date: 14 Jun 01 - 10:16 AM We missed you sorely Roger. Marge too. Though I would have loved the honor, 'spaw wasn't at my house. Bill and the boys met him in Ohio at Connie's, I believe. It was a thrill for Bill, because all the time I've known him, he's alway said the one Mudcatter he wanted to meet, was Catspaw. He always hoped 'spaw would make it to our gatherings. Well, he finally met him. I hope to see you and Marge very soon. Love, Annamill |
