I got mine today, addressed to the wife of another Mudcatter. I think Dick's computer goofed on the address - but the bill was addressed to me.
The CD's really are a nice piece of work. I'm proud to know these people, and I'm glad I'll be able to play their music for my wife and family.

Hey, my Mum-in-Law took one look at Tweed's whizbang page and called Dick Greenhaus in the dead of night, from Cottonwood AZ -- and he answered up and shipped 'em!!

Let's start a planetary underground camp fad here!! :>)

I have to say, mine arrived and it is one of the finnest collections of folk I have heard in a long long time. Some promoter should get a hold of the idea of a great concert - the real folk scene, not the comercial this is folk hype. How about a documentery film... this is the real stuff gang... great great collection. It is going to take a week before I can go into detail, songs still bouncing about my head as I listen to the next CD... brilliant stuff, anyone who is a mudcatter who does not get this set misses out on what it is really about. GARGOYLE!!!! Get this CD, it will brighten your stoney countence! Yarrow, buy this and it will salve your paranoia! It will cure all ills and make children wise...

I hope mine arrive by tomorrow. (Dick was pretty sure they would.) If they don't, I won't get to hear them for a few more days, and the folks who are getting them for Christmas may get them late.

Thanks again to all of you who helped make this CD project possible!

YES! My "Plums" arrived - just in time, because despite my good intentions of NOT opening the set I ordered as a gift for someone else I was getting ready to rip the wrappings off the suckers...

Art and Amos, thank you for the kind words! I appreciate the compliment, especially coming from such talented pickers and singers. I feel proud to be in such good musical company as may be found on all the Samplers. Art, you can never have too many groupies; you can be mine if I can be yours!

My strawberry arrived today & boy do I wish I had the bucks to order the rest of the set! It'll have to wait till after the holidays.

What a great CD!
It's on the second go around now.

You guys really did a wonderful job putting this project together.

Thanks, DB.

I got mine! I got mine! Dick must have made an incantation over my package because it took only a week to get here.

I'm listening to 'Rose' right now- (Great covers btw) on #6 with Sandy Paton. 'When You and I Were Young'- wonderful. My brother was only 61 when he died but 'Maggie' was just about his favorite song. Thanks, Sandy.

I'll be ordering another set, so hold on...

Now: McGrath! What fun. I'm going to be able to hear all the voices that belong to the Mudcat! I'm just so thrilled.
