WW, where in Alaska will you be? Most of Alaska's population lives in the Anchorage area- which is 500+ air miles from Juneau and about 300 miles from Fairbanks. We in Juneau know lots of musicians in those areas- thanks to the Alaska Folk Festival- but I don't know if they know the Mudcat... (BTW, in Sitka there is a dance band called 'Fishing for Cats'!)I know of a couple 'Catters in Juneau who would be delighted to meet you and to introduce you to other musicians here, if your time frame permits.
