With your writing abilities, Peter, the Mudcat Tour is the gift that keeps on giving! You are a Master and I bow to your eloquence!

The phone call: WOW, I was bummed out, missing the Mudcat, feeling kind of crappy, sitting at the computer reading email, forgot all about the Toronto get together, when my phone rings and a thinly disguised voice says soemthing to the effect of they are looking for a "katlaughing"...well, I knew it was none other than himself, the Well-known Folksinger! What a wonderful and loving gift, really picked me up, left an afterglow like a benign Chernobyl...Rick had each person introduce themselves on speakerphone, they all got to hear me laugh, and then they sang "This Land Is Your Land" with a Canadian verse! Thank you one and all! I wandered around the house for the rest of the afternoon, grinning and feeling such a warmth in my heart, marveling anew (will I ever not?) at the Miracle of the Mudcat and the very special people who are its denizens. I was lost but now am found and I am in heaven!

luvya'll...katlaughing!
