Bill saw & appreciated your messages & I'm sure he'll be in touch for himself soon. Although he'd been in the states for 7 weeks, I kind of hated to send him home. Face to face is more fun that email & ICQ or even chat!

Sounds like a great time.

Rog, being the same age as yourself (but probably less mature) I started thinking about the last time I hitchiked. It was in France 28 years ago. My friend Klaas (a Dutch musician living in Canada) told me to put a lot of stickers on my case and I'd always get rides and free meals (made you look harmless and possibly interesting) and he was right. Doubt if I ever waited more than 10 minutes for a ride. Drivers would always ask "Have you BEEN to all those places?"

Barbara and Duane, thank you so much for a wonderful oportunity to meet so many wonderful Mudcatters. It was such a pleasure. You were a gracious hostess and I felt very welcomed. Again, thank you.

Bill,

It has been such a pleasure meeting you and you now have a real loving friend in me. I'm so glad I could see you again before you left. I've loved your stories and your fantastic music and you. Farewell, and have a wonderful trip back home. See you soon I hope.

Love, annap

No, Rick, you flatter me. I'm 52 years old and 20 years ago I would have driven. Now, 30 years ago I might've hitchiked. In fact, I did hitchhike to NY with my college roommate and then took a train to Conn. to campaign for Eugene Mc Carthy. God, I feel so old. That's ancient history! Think I'll go make some Jello (to eat, not to play in).

Bill,

Hope you have a safe trip Monday, August 2nd.

I just did not have the gumption to drive 6 hours to Conn. , party all night, sleep in a strange bed and drive 6 more hours back to Md.. Surely I must be getting old, 20 years ago I would've done it in a heart beat.

I hope that you and all of the Mudcatters had a great time. I'm keeping you in mind for a guitar strap one of these days.

Hello, Bill- I'm so disappointed not to be there! I was counting on it but have a summer flu to go with the summer heat. I so enjoyed having you here in NH and hope that you'll be back this winter to enjoy our contrast in weather! Have a great time with the other 'Catters today. Please be in touch and have a safe trip back home. With love, Allison

It is noon in New York & we are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the guest-of-honor. If you can't join us in person, send a message to Bill here & we'll pass it along. Next time, hope we can all be together!
