I didn't know he ever said anything that profound! Art, my friend, you and I know what it is like to lose something which we cherish, and, may have taken for granted. I'm so damn lucky, and grateful to be getting mine back. We are both blessed with great friends; This Mudcat community has been a source of priceless support and healing for me. My prayers are with you too; you truely are "the man".

Glad you're using 'em to sing your great songs to us.

Good things are still happening, still getting support messages from all over. Met with Gordon Bok today and discussed future performances together.
Later on, I got a phone call from one of my heros, Tommy Makem, checking to see how I'm doing.
It still amazes me to know how many friends I have.

And the beat goes on. Did a half hour tv show today, and, except for one song that just popped into my head that I pitched in my old key and had to reach, it worked just fine. Jeri, you could be right about the vocal cords thickening. In any case, I'll settle!

A mug of "Kendall"? Hmmmm. Suggests either grog or hard cider to me, with maybe something like Drambuie added for the ladies.

I'd be happy to work up a draft logo. Wha'cha think, Kendall?

I am of course glad Kendall's well and back, but he already knew that so I've just been reading along.....and, uh.........Well look, I really need to make a buck and I'm fascinated with the concept of bottling Kendall.

I think what's required here is to start witha list of ingredients, proportionate quantities, fermenting times....that sort of thing.............Hmmmmmm..........First and fivemost (I've already conquered foremost so I'm on to bigger things) we need to decide on the overall ambience (read:flavor) we're looking for. I mean I don't see kendall as a fizzy soft drink nor do I see him as any sweet wine....perhaps something on the dry side with a touch of sweet aftertaste.

But wines don't have enough fire to them, ya' know? Hmmmm......I can't see a Bourbon as Kendall although there is some potential in Brandy.......maybe a liqueur..........I dunno'....too artsy-fartsy............My brains heating up. Anyone got any ideas that would help? I'm gonna' turn on my floor model Gordon Bok Fan and see if I can cool down a bit.............

Great news, Kendall! I knew it would be back if you gave it some time. (I know, I know, it's hard to be patient when it's your voice AND livelihood!)

Anyhoo, I'll see (and hear) you at the Portland Shanty Sing -- and I'll bring your book back. Meanwhile I've re-read "Cold As a Dog and the Wind Nor'east" -- aloud, of course.

Warm and Fuzzies:

Kendall sang at the Side Door Cafe last night in Brunswick and was warmly greeted and applauded. He perfomed two songs perfectly and chose not to do a third although he was invited to. His voice is in better shape than his fingers. Practice! Practice! Practice!

One young man who runs the sound system for the cafe played on his "new" old Epiphone (Epiphany!...joke). He rambled a bit before he played about how it may not seem appropriate to play what he was about to play but he didn't know that a friend would be there tonight, etc. In short, he dedicated his performance of a blues/rock number to Kendall whom he obviously admired - another Kendall groupie. Later he asked me if he had embarrassed Kendall because he didn't have something more "folkie" prepared. The respect and admiration was touching.

There were of course the usual number of women young and old checking the old guy out. Sorry, Joe. If we can figure a way to bottle it, we could have the next hula hoop. And a lot of friends who were just glad to have him back and healthy. On the whole a very satisfactory "coming out party".

At this point, I intend to visit Utah Phillips in the spring, and, if I'm going to travel that far, I will want to visit some Mudcatters too.
If my voice holds out, I will be going to Florida in January, so, we should be able to connect in one place or the other.

Hi, Kendall - -

Hearing Gordon Bok's and Stan Rogers' voices is like being enfolded in a soft warm blanket on a chilly night. If this means I can add another blanket when life's Winters come along, bring on that New CD!!!!!

PS. If CA is too far, how about the Tampa Bay area? I don't know if I'll be able to make Old Songs this year. MMB : )

All seriousness aside (as Steve Allen used to say), I am EXCEEDINGLY glad to hear you're singing again. That's great @##$ing news. There may yet be a venue for the Rick Fielding Trio. Good on you, my friend. You have cheered me up considerable with this news. Yes, yes, yes. Chance.
