Subject: RE: BS: PappaGator survives Katrina.... From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 08 Sep 05 - 07:55 AM So how is he going with getting his hands on an instrument - one was offered here, but the logistics of getting it to him may be the hassle - logistics seemed to be the main hassle with the aftermath of Katrina anyway... |
Subject: RE: BS: PappaGator survives Katrina.... From: Rapparee Date: 08 Sep 05 - 08:56 AM Tell him to swing on out West. I got room, lots of room, high-speed computer access, and my wife's guitar (while not a good as what he left behind) is just sitting by the fireplace, new strings and all. |

Subject: RE: BS: PappaGator survives Katrina.... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 08 Sep 05 - 10:03 AM He said in the thread he started last week that the cloth was in the building that flooded. It is probably gone. |
Subject: RE: BS: PappaGator survives Katrina.... From: GUEST,SINSULL Date: 08 Sep 05 - 10:08 AM What cloth? |
Subject: RE: BS: PappaGator survives Katrina.... From: katlaughing Date: 08 Sep 05 - 10:25 AM Twenty years accumulation of leftover bee-you-tee-ful upholstery and other fabrics from his wife's business, Sins. They'd just started offering it on eBay. Bobert, if you talk with him anytime, soon, remind him that Big Mick is there. I am sure he'd love to get together. Thanks for the update. Keeping him and family in my thanks-givings etc. luvyakat |

Subject: RE: BS: PappaGator survives Katrina.... From: Dead Horse Date: 08 Sep 05 - 03:30 PM So next years Mardi Gras will see his krewe on floating floats? Beats bein' dragged round behind a truck, huh? ;-) |
Subject: RE: BS: PappaGator survives Katrina.... From: Wesley S Date: 08 Sep 05 - 03:35 PM I think there will be a Mardi Gras next year. And when New Orleans is up and running again I think the tourist industry will skyrocket. INHO. |

Subject: RE: BS: PappaGator survives Katrina.... From: Shanghaiceltic Date: 08 Sep 05 - 05:45 PM Please wish him well. |
Subject: RE: BS: PappaGator survives Katrina.... From: Bill D Date: 08 Sep 05 - 06:13 PM no doubt planner of Mardi Gras are meeting now to formulate alternate plans, in case New Orleans is not ready. The tradition will survive, even if some of the historical artifacts and surroundings do not. |

Subject: RE: BS: PoppaGator survives Katrina.... From: curmudgeon Date: 08 Sep 05 - 08:11 PM Perhaps PoppaGator should consider coming to the Getaway. According to the form, there are "scholarships" available if he's short on cash. Otherwise, I'll wager there enough Mudcatters who are going and would chip in some money to pay his and his wife's way - Tom |
Subject: RE: BS: PoppaGator survives Katrina.... From: Midchuck Date: 09 Sep 05 - 12:31 PM If he does, maybe someone will be going to the Getaway from near me who can take the Tak to it for him. Or maybe I can get Kendall and Jacqui to travel by the northern route if I offer a bed and enough food.... Peter. |
