Had a grand time, I did! All the Mississippi Mudcatter's were invited. I showed up precisely on time. I was thrilled to see me. I had responded to my threads many times, and felt that I had gotten to know me well thru the Mudcat Cafe. But I found myself full of surprises. I was sad to find that my sense of humor wasn't as astute as I had expected, but when I picked up my guitar, I was amazed to hear better playing than I expected.

However, conversation with me was somewhat strained as apparently all that interested me was Mississippi John Hurt and wise-cracks about Spaw (which I resented!). I soon grew bored with me and asked me politely to please go home and don't come to my next get-together. I think I resented it, because I cussed a bit and slammed out in a huff.

Well, I learned my lesson. Next time I'll invite the Arkansas Catters!
