Some people are reading Dick's posts to mean one can not order the CD's until after the Getaway.

My understanding is Yes, please, go ahead and order them. We are a small business with limited staff, and we will begin shipping mail orders for the CD when we return from the Getaway. We also ain't spring chickens, but want to be sure we bring enough of the sets to the Getaway to satisfy the demand there, but also don't want to find ourselves lugging extra crates of unsold Mudcat CD's back into the van on Monday morning if we can help it. We carry a very large selection of hard-to-find music. Lots of bins. Bins and bins of cd's are heavy. Keeping them in good order is also a big job. Dick and Susan offer an amazing service, offering hard to find and often otherwise commercially unavailable cd's to a narrow and selective market. They do it for love of the music, but also to make a living, and it ain't an easy or lucrative living.

Those of us who have made a good part of our living at some point or another in our lives loading and unloading as vendors or artisans at craft shows and events know the deal. It doesn't get physically easier as the spinal disks degenerate. And few not in a similar business can be expected to know all the work involved behind the scenes that is well beyond the loading and unloading.

Dick and Susan, if I have presumed too much in saying this, slap me down. You guys are unsung heros.
