Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: bankley Date: 24 Jun 08 - 05:24 PM yeah, but some of the Canucks down on the farm might have expensive tastes and we know that you Americans are rich....... no ? |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: Jeri Date: 24 Jun 08 - 06:01 PM Me? Rich? HA, I say! Some Americans are rich, but now that the US dollar is worth 1.01171 CA dollars... oh wow, man! I AM rich! Our dollar is now worth more than yours! Of course, it's all relative. I'll be spending most of my fortune on fuel, not to mention the previously promised potable and tobacco. What would you like Ron? I'm at the limit for booze and butts. Maybe some maple syrup - that's a New England thing and something that people from other countries often enjoy. Just let me know what you'd like and I'll do my best. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: bankley Date: 24 Jun 08 - 09:46 PM I was just kidding around.... thanx for asking Jeri.... we have good refreshments and combustibles.... I eat syrup every day, being in maple country also.... just get yourself there safely, it'll be nice to meet you... that's gift enough for this lad... |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: GUEST Date: 25 Jun 08 - 03:04 PM I don't think you need to bring maple syrup. More than 75% of the maple syrup in the world is produced in Quebec. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: Jeri Date: 26 Jun 08 - 08:30 AM It was supposed to be a joke. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: Jeri Date: 26 Jun 08 - 10:19 AM Oh, and Ron: awwwww! What a nice thing to say! I'm really looking forward to meeting folks and diving into the music for the weekend... and maybe some of the food. No... not 'maybe'. I dream of the music, the friends I'll be meeting, and... smoked meat. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: gnu Date: 26 Jun 08 - 01:26 PM Jeri. You know it was a joke and I know it was a joke, but there could be sum a them thar ferrinners what dunno that yer La Belle Province, in a good year, makes 4 times as much Maple Slurpup as the rest put together when ya goes by yer Agrivation, er, Agricultoor Canada eh? A course, ya never know what them figgers wood be iffn all the illegal grow ops was counted in, eh? I know the Baptists round these here parts is heavy inta the Slurpup an ya KNOW they ain't tellin the revenooers how much they make. They ain't saps eh? Vive Le Slurpup! |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 26 Jun 08 - 10:10 PM Jeri, it is good to hear that your all pumped up. Me , I'm a little tired. I've been working on this since last September. I have noticed that the same thing happened when I was working on the last festival I was involved with. I think it is called burn out. Well, not really. In a few days I'll be in full gear again. Just spent the last 3 nights in the bush with my 9 year old grand son doing a little rough camping and fishing, which we were luckey enough to catch and have for breakfast yesterday morning. I would send you all a picture but a little difficult in this thread. The Sugar Bush we slept in was just beautiful. And here is the best part. We were not bothered by black flies or mosquitoes. To repeat Ron's words, it will be a pleasure to meet you Jeri. And to have Bruce back home again will also be a treat. Now lets keep this thread going until it happens. Beer (adrien) |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: bankley Date: 27 Jun 08 - 10:40 AM Beer and a grandson.... is that like a quart and a half-pint ? |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: topical tom Date: 27 Jun 08 - 01:03 PM Welcome back, Adrien! I'm sure you'll recover and snap into action for the last preparations for the "Big Show". Glad you had such a good time with the grandson. Jeri, I hope I can meet you at the festival. Gnu, for Gawd's sake, stay out of those illegal op cornfields if you come! Both farmers and growers know how to use shotguns, I'm sure. Anyway, that would be a corny way to pass the time. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: gnu Date: 27 Jun 08 - 01:17 PM Corn? No, tt. Maple Slurpup woods. The Baptists round here only grows corn ta bring in coons so's they can run their Blue Tick Hounds. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: topical tom Date: 27 Jun 08 - 02:16 PM Oh yeah, the Baptists are practising the culture of the south in the north. Yeeeeeeehaaaaa! Here, Rattler, here! Sic 'em, boy! P.S. The Slurpup woods are safe. There are no revenooers there. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: topical tom Date: 08 Jul 08 - 10:16 AM I expect to be there and meet some other 'Catters. It's exciting and fast approaching! |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: gnu Date: 09 Jul 08 - 11:04 AM Check out the latest posts on Subject: RE: Bruce Murdoch: Liar! (CD Review) From: gnu - PM Date: 09 Jul 08 - 11:01 AM Canucks are great at directions, eh? One more "direction". If it's as hot in La Belle Prvoince as it is here in The Picture Province (New Brunswick fer ye ferrinners), make sure you have the necessities : #1 Sunscreen #2 Lot's of it. After that, Beer can advise if fly dope or anything else is a good idea. It's noon here in Moncton and it's 33C in the shade... about 44H (Humidex = "feels like"). |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: bankley Date: 10 Jul 08 - 08:42 AM fly dope is a good idea, but it's hard to get the wee buggers lit.. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 10 Jul 08 - 03:37 PM Our program is finally finished. I hope we didn't miss anyone. Final proof reading will be done this evening. Counting the wee ones(Youth Stage) we have 65 musicians appearing on stage. Not all at once as the hay wagon would collapse. Adrien |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: GUEST,Peace Date: 10 Jul 08 - 03:52 PM Sixty-five musicians to get organized? Y'ever herd cats? |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: bankley Date: 10 Jul 08 - 05:07 PM if the wagon collapsed....would it just be a stage that they're going through ? |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 10 Jul 08 - 05:17 PM Now that is a good line Ron. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: Jeri Date: 13 Jul 08 - 11:22 AM I've printed out maps from Google, the car has new tires and all I have to do is pack and start driving. Just a few days! |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: maeve Date: 14 Jul 08 - 11:26 AM Let us arise and go to Canada That lovely place of the heart. Let us go to Apple Hollow Where fiddle and guitar ring out And a singing voice lingers In the dark of the night. Jeri, have a safe trip and a wonderful time! maeve |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 14 Jul 08 - 11:57 AM That was very good of you maeve. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: maeve Date: 14 Jul 08 - 12:21 PM Well, Adrien, it seemed a little more seemly than saying, "WAAAAH! I want to go too!" I hope y'all have a splendiferously fine time, and that all attendees donate a wicked lot of money to the festival. maeve |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 15 Jul 08 - 09:31 PM Had to make some quick adjustments Sunday. The Bridge End Dairy Co. had to cancel due to the main singer being sick. Replacement is Ian Gray who runs a coffee house called the Adair Coffee house. There is a web site for it. Great stage presence and wonderful voice. Stuart MacDougall who is the lead singer not capable of making it is very disappointed as he was also to be on the Song Writers' Circle. His replacement is a twosome from up state New York called "Crossing North". Both very good writers. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: bankley Date: 16 Jul 08 - 09:03 AM thanks for the latest news... good work |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Azizi Date: 16 Jul 08 - 06:16 PM Oh, I am sooo needing some good news..what with all the bad things that are happeningd on so many fronts, including the tragedies and losses that several Mudcatters have experienced recently, and that we, their cyberspace friends and acquaintances have experienced second or third hand with them even if it was just by our reading about what happened, and offering our prayers, and best wishes, and the small degree of tangible support we could muster. But life sure does take a toll, doesn't it? That's one of the reasons I'm really looking forward to reading some good news about the Apple Hollow Music Festival. I hope that all those who are attending that festival and who are performing at that festival remember those of us who aren't able to be there. I hope you guys and gals post lot of reports, and maybe even some links to photos. So "On with the show!"* "Full speed ahead!"* And "big ups!"* to Adrien, and Bruce, and Ron, and all others who are involved with the Apple Hollow Music Festival!! * Substitute whatever sayings you prefer that express your hope that everything flows together for the good and this festival turns out to be an artistic, social, and economic success! |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: gnu Date: 17 Jul 08 - 06:12 AM Happy Apple Hollow Music Fest Eve! |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: bankley Date: 17 Jul 08 - 08:55 AM sounds like something out of 'The Horseless Headman' |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: GUEST,C. Ham Date: 17 Jul 08 - 10:09 AM Re: the songwriter's circle at Apple Hollow Music Festival Garnet Rogers, one of Canada's greatest songwriters, will be at the festival and yet he's not listed for the circle. That's a surprise, especially since Garnet and Mike Reganstrief are friends from the Golem days and Garnet's played live on Mike's radio show quite a few times. Can't wait to buy that new CD from Bruce Murdoch. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: Jeri Date: 17 Jul 08 - 10:34 AM You just reminded me to make sure I have Garnet's CDs in the car for the trip. It's going to be fun meeting folks and hearing everyone's music. I'm familiar with Bruce and Garnet, and I've heard 4 strings and a Squeezebox on YouTube, but the rest will be a fresh experience. Soon, soon, SOON! |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 17 Jul 08 - 08:41 PM Guest, C. Ham It could still happen. Adrien |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: ragdall Date: 17 Jul 08 - 08:47 PM You all have a wonderful time! I wish I could be there. Bruce's music is amazing. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 17 Jul 08 - 09:39 PM Just settled Bruce, Jeri, April and Ken.M from Florida in. Bruce has his c/d and the cover looks great. Can hardly wait to hear it. Still lots of work to do at the festival site but it will get done. off to soak my aching back. Adrien |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: maeve Date: 18 Jul 08 - 11:48 AM Adrien, I'm sure you'll remember to take time to enjoy your festival also! Thanks for lettng us know that Jeri and all arrived safely. |

Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: gnu Date: 19 Jul 08 - 03:29 AM Hey... youse guys still up or are you pacing yourselves for tonight's soiree? |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: Beer Date: 19 Jul 08 - 07:47 AM Hay Gnu, don't you ever sleep? Last night it rained, rained and rained. But we had a heck of a good time. The Barn was full of musicians and friends. Looks better this morning. Adrien |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: gnu Date: 19 Jul 08 - 11:31 AM I wondered about that. We had a great rain sometime before 4am... the flower pots were heavy. Hope the weather gets better. Sleep? How could I sleep? I was pining to be with youse guys. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: bobad Date: 19 Jul 08 - 11:24 PM Just got back home from the Fest. It was quite wonderful, the weather was perfect and so were the performances. Bruce's set was outstanding and received with much enthusiasm, a standing ovation and requests for an encore. Met a bunch of new "Cats" including Jeri and KenM, terrific people but they're Mudcatters so I'm not surprised. Am still buzzing from the high of love and fellowship and music, a great evening all around. Will post some pics tomorrow. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: bobad Date: 19 Jul 08 - 11:28 PM Forgot to mention Bruce's new CD which entertained us on the drive home tonight. It is a work of art and not to be missed, order your copies forthwith. Kudos to Bruce and Ron Bankley for their masterful job in putting it together. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: bobad Date: 19 Jul 08 - 11:59 PM Kudos also to Adrien (Beer) for all the hard work which went into making this festival the success it was. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July 2008 From: gnu Date: 20 Jul 08 - 03:38 AM Pics... yes please. |
Subject: RE: Apple Hollow Music Fest (Quebec) 18 & 19 July From: maeve Date: 20 Jul 08 - 06:07 AM Thank you for the update, Bobad. How wonderful it all sounds. |
