a mud cat member from canada,
went on a busking tour a
couple of years ago...
Kirsten, you might find
it interesting to search
back to the thread about
Marion's travel adventures.

and for those of us with short attention span,
if you post a synopsis, or outline or
the "cliff's notes version" of your
essays and then include a link to
where the entire text can be found, it
will take up less bandwidth here..
the cat sometimes gets over loaded
from so many posts, etc and crashes
completely.

but i hav ebeen enjoying your input
and wish you the best of luck in your
endeavors.
