Geez..............a fella spends his whole life building an image as a big tough guy, and then .......next thing you know.........you have been whupped in the jello pit by a couple of wee lasses and then called a wuss because you don't know what yer schedule will be..............that was bad enough,but for Naes to suggest that Finn.........Finn, can you believe it..........would be more manly than I...........this is more than I can take.........Oh the indignity of it all........

All the best,

Mick

Then there was Barry who drove from Derry, NH to Mystic, CT, sang for half the night and then drove home again to drop off his kid. He was going to turn around and go back to Mystic but his family hog tied him and put him to bed. This was only a couple of months after his transplant. Of course, I understand if you may not be as manly as Barry... *grin*

You can get one of those at the Press Room too, Mick. Liam's Brother drove all the way up here from NYC once, and went home the same night. Of course, he may have a stronger constitution than you, and I don't mean to make you feel like a wuss or anything. I love you even if it's too difficult for you to make it.

OK, Barry.........you owe me a Guinness............LOL. Yes, I may indeed be staying in the Boston area for about 10 days beginning Monday, the 23rd. If it is to be, I will be staying in Brockton. I will know in a day or so if I am going. I will be on assignment and won't know my itinerary until I get there. I will let you know as I know. I certainly hope it works out so that I can be there on Friday for the gathering. I would love to see my FSGW buddies, as well as my friends that I have never met. And one thing for sure about Boston.........I can get a proper jar of the luscious, creamy, Guinness......otherwise known as the vile, dark stuff.

All the best,

Mick

Wow! Meeting everyone on the 27th sounds great. Is the Press Room in Portsmouth? I must admit I got a bit lost in all the messages, not to mention the mudcat names. I need to look at a map and see how far away I'll be. Sounds like a gathering not to be missed. Maybe I can get my brother-in-law to come along too. Awesome guitarist and he does some singing too.

If there are any details, I can be reached until Friday at [e-mail].

Thanks all. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Charley, this Friday is the 20th and I am indeed going. However the gathering we are talking about is on the 27th. That one would be a great one to get a quorum of the group to if at all possible.

I may have to pull heaven and earth to get there but I'll see what I can do. My XSO is away that weekend but maybe I can drop the kids at my mom's for the evening...
This does sound like a good'un!

The Press Room Session on the 27th will be without the Angel Band and could use some beefing up. I will be there with bbc and Duane. I hope Emily and Bill Galbraith can make it. If Big Mick and Barry Finn will be there then I guess we can expect Animaterrra to be there. Woo-eee, s'gonna be a good'un!

Let me see if I can get Charley Noble and some more of the Roll & Go gang there too.

By the way, Emily and bbc, Roll & Go will be performing at the Wells Historical Society on Wednesday, July 25. The Historical Society is headquartered on Route One in Wells next door to the Subway restaurant and across the street from the Shaw's supermarket.

Ooooooh, it would be great if you can make it, Mick! Duane & I have spoken w/ Naemanson & have firm plans to go to the Press Room on Friday w/ him. The rest of the week, we will be around Portland, ME. Hope to see kendall, my sister, etc. Barry, thanks for the info. Others, please announce your intentions & wear Mudcat teeshirts, if possible!

Hi bbc, it'd be a treat to see you both again & so soon along with meeting emily b. what treats. I'll follow this thread to see how plans shape up & hope that the timing will work with a maybe visit from Big Mick (sorry Mick cat's out of the bag now you'll have to come). Maybe Portsmouth (Fri. night session?) would be a good general meeting & central gound for getting together? It would be a blast if all the coastal Maine-ei-axes & the those from coastal Cow-Hampshire were to make it there. Waiting on the sidelines with glee, Barry

If there's gonna be another mudcat gathering at the fri. night Press room sessions (hint) I'd love to know about so's I can plan to see you all as well as being able to hit what I consider to be a great singing/playing session that covers any area of folk music that comes to mind (I'd have to say sea shanties are aamong some of the fav.).

I'm on my way to Maine at the end of the week and am curious if there will be any music going on in the Portland area (I'll be west of there in Limerick) or Portsmouth. I'll be a few days in the Bath area on the 21st and 22nd.

I know Kendall is in Portland and someone, maybe Naemanson in Bath? It would be fun to meet some northern mudcatters and check out the folk scene. 'Catter Bill Galbraith is coming with me. We're half of a mostly Celtic band here in Houston.

I just remembered the What' On thread and see a few entries by Kendall and Naemanson. Will miss most of them.

Actually if anyone has any advice as to places to eat, or things to see, I'd be grateful for that info too. I've been to Maine a lot but still don't know it all that well.

Thanks for any info.

Emily
