Jerry--

Hey, it seems everybody else has a copy of the Messengers' CD. Is it available through Camsco?--I like to try to buy folk CD's there to support Mudcat. Or if not, can I buy one through you--I insist on paying.

Elmer--

If you're still checking this thread, that was fascinating information about the background to "Oh Happy Day"


Billy Bob--

I can certainly understand your feelings about US Customs at the airport---since I go to Sidmouth almost every summer, I've had occasion to notice the British Customs authorities are nowhere near as paranoid as the US ones.

Favorite story here is Jan's entry to the US, coming back from Sidmouth a few years ago. She loves Heinz baked beans. But though Heinz is a US firm, we can't get them here. So she gets them in the UK and brings them back in her suitcase. Well, the shape of a baked bean can is of great interest to the machine that checks luggage. So the Customs people wanted to know what was in the corner of the suitcase. She told them. As you might imagine, they wanted proof. So she showed them a can. So then what's in this corner here? They couldn't believe she'd imported 4 cans of Heinz baked beans. But she had.
