Anna,
I will check with Marge and see if we can make it. I'm sure it will be a good time no matter who shows besides Bill, Sam, and Ian.
And for those who have never been to a Mudcat gathering, I encourage you to come. Anna and her hubby are wonderful hosts. People are encouraged to bring food, but Anna provides as well. Her house is on the water of a broad river. It's so close that while sitting on her patio, you would think you were on the water.
I have not met a Mudcatter at these gatherings who has not been a decent person. I may not all like everyone, but we do get along.
Being a part of these gatherings requires no musical talent. You can play and sing if you want, but you are welcome to just listen or conversate.
Anna's gatherings are a great place to meet some people you have only known through cyberspace. I'm not at home, so I can't check my schedule and confirm, but if I can be there I will be there.
