Just to let any DC area 'Catters know that I'll be headed their way on Wednesday, November 6th.

I've been invited to participate in the Musical Tribute to Veterans to be held at the Lincoln Memorial (Reflecting Pond).   The Tribute will kick off a series of events which will commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the dedication of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (Veterans Day, Nov. 11th).

I'm scheduled to appear around 3:00 PM that afternoon, and I hope if any of you are in the vicinity, you'll stop by to say hello.   Some other performers slated are Irish Tenor John McDermott, Paul Revere & the Raiders, and Bill (Country Roads) Danoff...

Should be a memorable occasion; hope to see some of you there.

Stay Tuned,
    Murph

By "that afternoon" do you mean Wednesday the 6th?

Reading what I had posted, I agree it wasn't the clearest message...

Yes, the Musical Tribute will take place all day and evening Wednesday, Nov. 11th at the Lincoln Memorial (Reflecting Pool Steps).   I am scheduled to play at approximately 3 PM Wednesday Afternoon...

Thanks, Kat & Lead...

Hi, Murph:

Just a little to far to pop down for the day. If you see him, say Hello to Bill Dilloff for me. The Canebrake Rattlers, including Bill and my old friend Pat Conte backed me when I recorded Old Blue Suit for Folk Legacy. I haven't seen him in years.

I realize that it's a sobering occasion, and not a party, but I hope that some Mudcatters will be able to get over to meet you.

I am envious, Murph. Sounds like a wonderful event. Good luck, and sing your best for the brothers and sisters.

I was reading the bios yesterday and note that you wrote a song about the wall...is that the one that goes "and every one's a husband or a brother or a son or a sister or a cousin or a ?? to someone...". I really love that song.

Wish I could be there but can't this year.

Good morning,

    Thanks, Mick; I'll salute 'em all, for those of us who can't be there...

And every Name's a Father, or a Husband, or a Son,
Or a Daughter, or a Brother, or a Cousin to Someone;
Or a Name might be a Classmate, or a Friend you may recall -
There's nearly sixty thousand Fallen Names still waiting at The Wall.

    Thanks, Mary; did you know it was recorded by a namesake of yours ?   Pat Garvey, whom I'll expect to see this coming weekend at Pat Troy's in Alexandria, VA...

    Stay tuned,
             Murph

One last lame note before my thread goes tumbling off the edge of the Mudcat Forum Universe...

Thanks, Spaw & other well-wishers - I'll be incommunicado for the next week - Hope everyone stays well, happy and healthy -

God Bless the Vets -
