I am assuming this will find its way below the line when Joe sees what I am up to BUT it is a music thread.

GRAMMY Charities is auctioning off two seats to attend the Person Of The Year tribute to...










Neil Young!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Given that Neil has never recognized the good works done by the NYCFTTS, this is the perfect opportunity for Neil and Spaw to meet, greet and plan the future of the Center.

Note to Joe - blame Dan Shatz. If he hadn't gotten the idea for a CD that was good enough to be nominated for a Grammy, I would never have been surfing the net on valuable company time looking for Grammy info and this MUSICAL thread never could have happened.

I will start the fund by donating 8 cents US. Who else is in?

By the way, Neil is getting a little long in the tooth. Suggest a makeover, will you? Maybe by the same guy who did Susan Boyle.

Yeah, if it's about NYCFTTS, it probably belongs "below the line"...

People visiting Mudcat would have NO Idea what we're talking about.

I'll see your 8.5 cents and raise you .75 cents, so it's now at 9 and a quarter cents.

Hell NO Joe! It is about honoring a brilliant musician and Mudcat icon, Neil Young.

Now that's a great idea. Boy, do I remember how much fun we had at the last big party at Amos'.

I'm pretty broke right, Sins, what with Christmas coming up and all, but I do have a small brown paperbag I'll donate in case 'Spaw gets airsick.

Someone donated them to GRAMMY Charities. It is an annual thing. Several "packages" are up for auction. It is a real thing. Opening bid is $1000 so we have a ways to go.

Kendall, HUSH!
Maybe Amos doesn't know. We are all planning on crashing at his house and watching the affair on TV. Only you, Jacqui, Dan and Spaw will actually go to LA.



Don't mention the war. I did but I think I got away with it.

I've always wanted to have Mudcatters crawling all over my house. Dunno what BBW will say about it. But with all the compound charm you guys are capable of oozing on demand, I yam sure it will be no problem...

As as a white-wrinkled-ass-monger in your own right, you have no position from which to complain!!

I was idly speculating, as to whether the opposite of a Leacock is a Windwardcock.
I'm sure Spaw will know.

HEY! Back to the subject!
How do we get Spaw to a one on one meeting with Neil Young?
We less than 15 cents and you guys are off admiring your nether regions aws usual.

Subject: RE: Catspaw Fundraiser
From: Little Hawk
Date: 16 Dec 09 - 08:28 AM

Well, there's probably something scandalous that can be dug up about Neil Young. Then we can blackmail him into a one on one meeting with Spaw by threatening to reveal the dirt! ;-)

I sure as hell can't think of anything else that would do it...

I could talk to Chongo about this and see what he can find out.

Neil Young plays with electric trains. How about that?

The loonie is the Canadian dollar, presently worth about 95 cents US...but that keeps changing.

Spaw would prefer a bong to a night with NY probably.
