01 Feb 06 - 09:18 PM (#1659704) Subject: Happy Birthday to me (Barry Finn) From: Barry Finn Hi all Just thought I'd say Happy Birthday to you all. I'm planning on turning 55 this coming Sunday so just in case & to be on the safe side Justine & I are planning on be at the Press Room on Friday. This is not as a celebration just an excuse to get out & sing. It's also an excuse to thank all of you mudcatters that practically well wished me out of a sure grave, my birthday is my celebration to all of you. Thanks for such a wonderful year. Now please excuse, I got to wipe an eye. Love you Barry |

01 Feb 06 - 10:28 PM (#1659763) Subject: RE: Happy Birthday to me (Barry Finn) From: Charley Noble There's a lot of birthdays happening in the next week or so. There's Nor and Capt. Bunker's; they're turning 60 but Barry yours is kind of special too. I'm not sure how old you are. Do we take the average of all your parts? Anyway, have a grand time at the Press Room and be sure to be there for the next shanty sing. Cheerily, Charley Ignoble |

Let's have a little respect fer yer elders, or it's a hidin' I have for ya. If there were anyway on this earth that I could be at the Press Room Friday, I certainly would. Justine, this birthday is as much yours as it is his. Thanks from the bottom of the collective Mudcat heart for keeping this sorry man around. I cannot imagine the place with out him. And you, kid, mind your manners. Oh ....... and thanks for being my friend. With much love and affection, Mick |

02 Feb 06 - 03:03 AM (#1659894) Subject: RE: Happy Birthday to me (Barry Finn) From: Micca Barry, Many Happy Returns to you,we will surely lift a glass to you at Portaferry this weekend, I am so glad you are still around after your "close call" this past year, the sight of you and Theresa and Dan Schatz singing harmony at the Getway comes up on my screensaver from time to time and reminds me what a fine voice you have even when (you Claim) its below par. You are admired and treasured Barry so just put up with it (***grin***) |
02 Feb 06 - 05:42 AM (#1659944) Subject: RE: Happy Birthday to me (Barry Finn) From: John MacKenzie Happy birthday from the highlands of Scotland too Barry. It was nice to meet you at the Getaway, and I hope we can have a replay this year. I would be worried if I were you when promised a present from Sinsull, I've seen some of her presents, I've even received a present that lived in her house for a while, she does good kitsch. As for someone who describes herself as 'A Maiden Lady' signing off as Mary the Whore, my mind boggles. Slainthe friend. Giok |

03 Feb 06 - 09:53 AM (#1661012) Subject: RE: Happy Birthday to me (Barry Finn) From: Barry Finn Thanks to all of you. We'll be out tonight singing & partying at the Press Room in honor of you all. It'll be our celebration of you not me & there'll be ringing in the rafters. Our voices are in fine shape (well, Justine's has been fine all along) & roaring to go. We're getting a good bit of rain at the moment & we're hoping that it doesn't turn into black ice, that may be a problem. I can only cheat the reaper so many times. So tonight, here's to you LOL Barry |

03 Feb 06 - 11:40 AM (#1661112) Subject: RE: Happy Birthday to me (Barry Finn) From: Bat Goddess Happy B.D., Barry! I'll save my birthday hug until tonight at The Press Room. Earlier this year Macro Polo had miniature hearts and lungs and various bodily organs which, if water was added, they'd swell to some size bigger. Tried at that point to get a spare liver for you, but they didn't have any. And, alas, they still don't, so you're not getting one for your B.D., either. Linn |

I'm glad that I missed this earlier in the week, or I would have been grumbling through the entire cooking class I taught last night. Sice we just got good old fashioned rain up here, I'm assuming you didn't get any ice down there. Lots of love to you and Justine. See you at Old Songs, if not before. Susan |
