Since the favourite cowboy songs thread is getting so long, I thought I'd post this separately, so everyone could read Ms. Lee's note to me. I had contacted the Glen Canyon people to look for her book, Ten Thousand Goddam Cattle. In the course of that, I sent her an invitation to join us on the Mudcat, with the enticement of a few people on here whom she knows.

BTW, Frank, sorry, I got it in my head you were with the Weavers, so Ms. Katie corrects me in the following message, which I just received via Glen Canyon people:

Dear Kat; Tell Sandy, Art and Frank Hamilton (not of the Weavers, that's Fred Hellerman) I said, Hi, and best wishes to all. It's been many years since I've seen any of them, I think Art was the last contact. Is Ed McCurdy still alive and well? I've no idea where the Mudkat Cafe is, and doubt if I could just "drop by" anyhow. I'm up to my bunz in performances (singing/reading) from my new book "All My Rivers Are Gone" Takes all my time and energy. Anyhow, it's nice to know something about the old Mob now and again.

Take care, Katie

There ya have it, phoaks! I like her style!
