I am hopeful this will be a worthwhile event. I also hope to say hello to any Mudcatters who are planning to attend, maybe we can organize an impromptu Mudcatter session! |

Actually, it shows what I've been up to lately; I spent the day working on bookings for 2004. I expect I'll spend quite a few more days at it! NO - not 2004, I mean 2003. |

Now if we were talking Sou CA, AZ - it'd make sense, but Texas?? Almost midwest, isn't it? 'Course maybe that's the problem. It extends damn near from the Mississippi to the west coast! ;-) |

If Alaska were split in half Texas would be the third largest state. If you superimposed Alaska onto the lower 48, it would stretch clear across from SE Georgia to 100 miles out past the Golden Gate Bridge. There are times when I wish I was a little closer to some of the good music get togethers down there. Ah well, retirement approaches slowly then it will be "Old Farts in Motorhome Parks" for me and the Mrs. Best wishes, Mike |

I need to get one of your CD's and see if there's anything else I can "approriate" for my own nefarious uses. Its a great song and Seamus sings it pretty good, too. Mike |

Actually you get to my stuff on-line free at wholewheatradio.com - they're up your way, and have lots of show where you can request whatever you want. They have two of my CDs and they both get a little bit of web-based airplay. |

We did SWFA several years ago, but don't really plan on it again, although there is some good folk dancing there. Austin in August/September...yukk! |

I live in Dallas these days, and I know what you mean about Levis and boots, but I lived n Houston long enough to know better; when it's hot as hell, ya just gotta dress for it! |
