Saying goodbye? No, not my style. Our visit and their time was too abbreviated and I think "See you later" is much more like it!

It took quite a time for Bill and I to finally get together in 3-D and warm as our friendship has been here at the 'Cat, I expect more to happen in the 3-D world in the future. Bill is the true "Ambassador-At-Large" of this place and his trips and gatherings have marked significant events and changes in the 'Cat's history. He is more than can be said about him. Karen, Wayne, Connie, and our kids all send the best to you. And to Sam and Ian, if you have read my other postings, you know what and how much I think of these fine young friends. I hope they feel as comfortable with us and in America as they do at home.....The future of our world and our music could not be in better hands.

A real side plus to this trip was to get to know Sam and Ian's parents here at Mudcat. We don't want to say goodbye to them either and I think Gill and Geraldine(Jellybeam) have been pleasantly surprised we are not all complete loonies. I hope we see both of them around the 'Cat in the future.

I'm only sorry that I even missed out on the breakfast the morning they left here and that there was so little time for more music. Trust me guys, I cook better than Connie and I might even have done well enough to lure you into another day.

Bill has yet to visit Kentucky and Tennessee and I would love to make that part of the trip with him when he decides to go there. They are my second home and travelling them with Bill would be a treat. We also have already gotten a CD to a venue here and they're interested in knowing when you'll be back. I think Connie would make a fine agent for somebody!

Be safe travelling and share a few thoughts of us with all you meet back home. So for now..........

See You Later !!!
