So Rick, on this day which caused your mother great pain and has caused many others great pain ever since, I have but one word for you: wallpaper .......and thanks for the friendship, smiles, and warmth, you bring to me and the other folks in this weird place. And my additional thanks for giving PT a life. Spaw |

01 Dec 00 - 07:48 AM (#349499) Subject: RE: Happy Birthday Rick Fielding From: Little Neophyte Sung to Rick Fieldings tune of 'This One's The Dreamer off the birthday boy's latest CD. This one's the 54th birthday This one's wondering does age really matter This ones got years to travel Long way from sixty Who listens to Quentin Crisp Sometimes to the baseball score In the backyard, there is Duckboots In her garden This one's got a gorgeous voice Kind of like the way Gorden Lightfoot sings Strumming on Woody with a banjo chorus Long time true friend Who won't join the Morris Dancers To celebrate his birthday with cake & laughter Love 'The Man', sing to praise Can you feel it? Chorus The wider your waistline We'll still love you The longer you take to walk We'll walk in stride The further off your hearing We'll be there to holler to you Now one thing is true Dear Richard, The Mudcatters love you Little Neo

01 Dec 00 - 10:02 AM (#349581) Subject: RE: Happy Birthday Rick Fielding From: GUEST,chance Rick, here is an excerpt from Ferlinghetti that seems to me to sum up performers birthdays. Constantly risking absurdity and death whenever he performs above the heads of his audience the poet (folksinger) like an acrobat climbs on rime to a high wire of his own making and balancing on eyebeams above a sea of faces paces his way to the other side of the day performing entrachats and sleight-of-foot tricks and other high theatrics and all without mistaking any thing for what it may not be For he's the super realist who must perforce perceive taut truth (happy birthday, anyway, chance)

Looks like a good song from Neo - only thing for Rick is, he probably won't feel he can sing it himself. Which is frustrating for a good singer with a good song. |

I took him some Ring Dings (snack cakes) & a candle & made him a card on my computer--classy or what?! Although I didn't kiss & hug him for absolutely every Mudcatter worldwide, I made a good attempt. spaw, I remember one of the big smootchers was for you! :) Also, at the end of the concert, Caroline couldn't resist leading a few alternative birthday songs. I think we've embarrassed him enough for this year. The concert was great & it was such a pleasure to see & hear Sandy, Caroline, & Rick! bbc |

Now karen k my dear, if you can suitably embarass the lad........... And harp......Membership is open and we can take you on as an associate for a trial period where you can prove your unworthiness and lack of any redeeming social value combined with a penchant for doing less than nothing. Completion or not of these pseudo-requirements will grant you full partner lack of status with FPS&L. You will have to buy your own Secret Decoder Ring. It doesn't have to work because we rarely send messages and no one can remember the codes, but they add tackiness....an essential quality in all Layabouts. Spaw |

You did, however, miss a great breakfast at the Boulevard Diner in Worcester with Sandy and Caroline and John and Linda. It was great to see you and glad to have a chance to sing and chat with you.
