Thread Name: Rick Fielding Release Party (Feb 16)
Subject: RE: Rick Fielding Release Party, Now!
Okay, I'm not quite back to earth yet. I stood over Mick's shoulder as he posted here in the lobby of the beautiful Holiday Inn Express in Scarbourgh and decided that I wasn't ready to try and put my over tired arms and fingers to work composing.

But before I get to the sublime, in true Mudcat fashion Mick and I hopped in the car for breakfast went about 30 feet and low and behold a flat tire.... Yes, Jeri there is one more picture of Big Mick Lane sprawled next to a Jacked up car....No I did not sing rude shanties to him (I still value my life.) But we were able to eat breakfast while a local dealer mounted new tires and finally headed to Bev and Paul's to help move equipment to Borealis....

Now I know if I took the time to search, Mick has previously raved about the hospitality that embraces you when you walk into this front door... It's all true and more. These are warm gentle folks who deserve all the praise previously heaped and more... Thank You.

Yes, I was encouraged to video and sat there all night in awe that I had the privledge to record these amazing musicians on such a night. I'll be sending copy back to Paul to edit. He took some footage as well, and although the amazing transformation of the Borealis Office to a broadcast studio was not set up for visual, there too a few moments of magic were captured.

I'll send Jeff some photos when I get home tonite. I've met so many amazing people I can't even begin to name names, but it truely was an honor.

Thanks All,

Tinker
