It was a marvelous day----even if it was over 100 degrees F in the sun. Old friends hauled Carol and I & my w.chair up there and new friends brought us home as we ain't driving now. Had a fine time hearing Annie Hills and P. & L. Berryman and even an amazing Czech bluegrass band.

Also, be sure to look for the rise of a great young prodigy country/bluegrass singer named AMY FINDERS. Nobody's voice has grabbed me like her voice and style and phrasing did yesterday in a long time. --- And I never ever thought I'd say T.G.F.S. (thank God for Starbucks) but that airconditioning sure did feel fantastic. And it's cool as hell to be able to say I got an award from Woodstock. Amy Beth and all her cohorts did a fine job. They took the placque off of all their teeth, gave it to me and it's now hanging proudly on my wall. ;-)

If any of you are having a hard time picturing WOODSTOCK, ILLINOIS, I can tell you that the town with it's picturesque town square, where this festival happened, is where BILL MURRAY's lovely film, GROUNDHOG DAY took place. (So I guess I ought to go back there today 'cause it's all gonna happen again and it'll be day job vu all over again.

Thanks again.

Art and Carol Thieme Peru, Illinois

Sounds great Art!!! And as your official chronicler of bad puns, I believe that you must have been refreshed and rejuvenated by all of this since I think that is a new one.

Again, my sincerest congratulations. Were it in my power I would grant you the same on behalf of Mudcat as you have taught so much to so many here, not the least of all me.

Slide over, Spaw. There is room for both of us on this bandwagon. I considered very strongly, just jumping in the car and making the trek. But my grandson decided he needed some spoiling time, and I had promised, so I couldn't. I am very proud to call this gentle man a friend.

Pat, no, Carol tells me I've said that here at least twice before. ----- But maybe THAT is just day job vu all over again---and then all over again---and yet another time----
Thanks all,

Art
