Well we had a mighty good outing at the wagon train Sunday. Somehow the thunderstorms held off unlike what they did Saturday. Thanks to Alice about the other wagon train coming through town. The Four Mile House is a worth-while visit anyway. Again that's May 25. Sorry I have to miss that one. Things were sort of winding down Sunday and much of the public had gone away. We had lost all hints that it was the 19th century and were playing whatever songs we thought of. We had already played Dooley. And were just finishing the Tennessee Stud when who should show up but Mr. Lonesome EJ himself. It seems we had already met. We had already said our howdys before and I've seen him several times at his Radio Shack as I frequently have to replace lightening blasted antenna parts. But neither of us guessed we had something in common. Anyway, thanks for coming out to our gig LEG. However fallen apart it may have been. Later, the wagon train folks invited the musicians that were left to their campfire. So we sat there in the twilight exchanging songs while meadowlarks from every direction added to the melody. A fine evening it was. As I was groggily wending my way home it occured to me. This may have been the first meeting of Mudcatters in the Rocky Mountain region. If so, that's mighty keen. Let's try to get some more of us together out here. I'll be seeing the wagon train folks again today. They are in Golden through Tuesday. Wednesday they go up to IdahoSprings. Friday they are in Fraser. Then Hot Sulpher Springs over the weekend. From there you'll have to check the website above. They end up at the Railroad Museum in Sacramento. Cool. I don't know the plans of the wagon train at 4 mi. house. Alice, do you know of a website to follow them?
