I'm planning a revisit of Michigan from Maine (and back again) from 6/20 to 6/25. One of my long-time music friends in Lansing is getting married and I haven't been back there for almost 10 years.

I'll be looking for a place to stop in So. Ontario on the way out and one around Albany, NY, on the way back; I'm usually good for about 12 hours in the van, but a place to stay over with gracious Mudcats would be appreciated; I am litterbox trained but will be armed with a 5-string banjo, assuming it's not confiscated at the border.

I'll also be out in the Lansing area long enough for a major music party if one could be organized by local Mudcats, apart from the one associated with the wedding celebration. And of course I'll stop at Elderly Instruments and droll over their collection of goodies.

Cheerily,
Charlie Noble
