09 Sep 06 - 12:52 AM (#1830476) Subject: Who's going to 2006 Getaway From: Barry Finn OK, ya don't have ta say ya going or knot because ya may already have posted that on a different thread. But that 'Who's Knot Thread' was getting to be the answer to "Why We Sing The Blues". Almost like takin depression 101 in high school, an it ain't like that. These folks that are "has beens" but this year they're "crying can't's" know what there missing an don wanna miss it butts..... Ok now I wanna let ya know that in some other thread it's been mentioned if it's money see one of the commitee people, they said the scholarship fund is healthy. And a good thing too, cause the last 2 yrs when I wasn't (healthy) & ta boot I was hard strapped for cash cause of it, it saw me through & it was a good thing cause it helped me ta get better & I'm glad to be in a better place now but the best place ta be come November is here at the Getaway. Even you folks that are thinking that ya don't know anyone or yor only a newbe or just a recent guest ta MudCat or yar too shy or that yar don't really sing or play stumpin it's still a place that ya gotta go to. Ya may not believe it till ya see & hear it but after ya've been there you'll know that there's a sort of family tie formin in yar gut that'll grow & drive ya to come again the next year & the years after. So anyway, who's going besides me??? Love ta see ya all there (I don't really talk this way, I just sing this way,,,, if ya ask) Barry |

The blend of the FSGW crowd and the Mudcatters seems to have worked out just fine. It is a mutual admiration society.

(Reminds me I should register us before I disappear into Building Code hearing). Expecting perhaps a bit of cognitive dissonance this year.

Anyone going in a Harrisonburg direction afterwards? Oh, and looking forward to more fiddling Jbailes.

My son's best friend (who had the nerve to move to Florida their last year of high school) Jed has engineered it so he can join us at the Getaway this year. His plane gets into BWI around 6:30 p.m. Friday. Will there be anyone who could give him a ride at that time? Or is there someone else who needs a ride from BWI at that time so we could make good use of shared resources? I will gladly go to pick him up from BWI, but I wanted to find out if someone else would already be traveling that route at that time. You can PM me or respond on the thread. Many thanks and see you all on Friday night! Peace, JudyO/momnopp |
