It is also worth adding to Mick's remarks that the something else going on was the amazingness of the Mudcat -- I think it slowly dawned on the non-Mudcatters in the room that having listeners in Australia, the UK, the foothills of the Sierra, and elsewhere, was in part due to the weaving together of Rick and the Mudcat over the years. You could see them going -- who are all these people with their in jokes? Who are these LaFrances and Offers? Hysterical. I was proud to see Mudcat magic at work.

It was all overwhelming -- but one more tip of the hat to Paul and his crew that it all went so well.

Answers: (1) Yes, Tinker made it, she had her video camera rolling.
(2) It was all recorded -- and will make a great tape. I think the mood was set by Jason Fowler doing his guitar magic, and it never stopped. Everyone played and sang beautifully.

It is also worth pointing out that having Rick playing up a storm on CD every few minutes sure put people on their toes!
