Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: wysiwyg Date: 23 Sep 03 - 01:07 PM Rick, I just got off the phone with Giac, who hopes to PM you when she gets another chance to use her lousy computer with her lousy, can't-sit back.... she asks me to convey that you are very much in her thoughts and prayers as she also deals with cancer, and that you have always been one of her most favorite people around this place. love, ~Susan |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: Roger the Skiffler Date: 24 Sep 03 - 04:11 AM The first thing Herself said when we got back from holiday and I finally logged on to the 'Cat was: "How's Rick Fielding?". Just to let you know, cyberbuddy, that we are still thinking of you and sending good thoughts. RtS |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: SINSULL Date: 24 Sep 03 - 12:51 PM I say a prayer for you every day Rick. Still can't understand why you went with Heather's suggestion and didn't do an Everly Bros. song at the Getaway. You would think she was something special or something. You owe me one. Don't try to get out of it. The Getaway '04, guitar in hand, and "Bye Bye, Love". Stay well, my friend. Mary |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: Fortunato Date: 24 Sep 03 - 02:03 PM Rick, I mailed you a CD today. I hope it gives you a laugh or two. May your days flow gently, like water. Chance |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: catspaw49 Date: 24 Sep 03 - 07:51 PM I had something I was gonna' say here but I forgot what the fock it was............Hated to just log off so I posted this infomational summary instead. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: Amos Date: 25 Sep 03 - 08:14 PM Wow, Spaw...that's inspiring. Rick, I can't remember what i was gonna say either, okay?? A |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: Deckman Date: 25 Sep 03 - 08:26 PM Hey Rick, I caught a very nice 7 LB Silver salmon yesterday in the Snohomish river, five minutes from my house. "Bride Judy" wanted to have it for supper, but I said "Heck no, let's mail it to Rick!" So this morning I put it in the snail mail post box. If you see a large, and very smelly package arrive sometime next week, perhaps you should not open it! CHEERS, and thinking of you, Bob(deckman)nelson ((you do believe that I mailed you a salmon, don't you?)) |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: GUEST,Cookieless Kath Date: 25 Sep 03 - 08:51 PM Love you, dear one. It's going to be crummy not having you at the Getaway. There's never enough time to hear all your wonderful music. Keep the faith. Keep getting better. Wishing you freedom from pain, freedom from fear, and a deep knowledge of how much you and Heather are loved. And know that Bill and Art and I and everyone else are pulling for you, thinking healing thoughts, wishing you well, missing you.....you name it. Much love to you and to Heather! (You have to get better because you have to meet my three NEW cats! Tossie and Misty have gone to the great Cathouse In The Sky, but my life is now enriched by Marble (calico, 13 lb.,5-yr-old), Buddy (grey & white, 10-lb, 2-year-old), and Zeke (big--14.5 lb.--brown tabby, 1.5-yr-old). Zeke came inside just before the hurricane and has been pronounced free from FIV, feline leukemia, fleas, worms, and all bad habits. You'll love him! XOXXOO Kath |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: Rustic Rebel Date: 25 Sep 03 - 10:25 PM Rick, With all of this good energy coming your way, it should be making you strong enough to give the cancer a good, hard, kick in the balls, then while it's down toss it out the back door. Hey, I still want to come and hear you play (a)live one of these days, so please don't give up the fight. Sending you healing thoughts, Sue |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 26 Sep 03 - 06:27 AM Rick, it's taken me awhile to brave this l-o-n-g thread, but it's a testimony to the warmth you have radiated over this community! I add my voice to the chorus of healing thoughts and good wishes! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: GUEST,Big Mick Date: 26 Sep 03 - 01:15 PM Rick................I can testify to the fact that you will love Kath's cats. 'Cuz you either love them or risk their wrath...hahahahaha Life sucks lately. My computer is down (new hard drive expected anytime, though), and schedule is nuts. But I never stop thinking about the two of you, and praying for you. Fact is that I love you as the dearest of friends. I hope to see you soon, Mick |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: Bert Date: 26 Sep 03 - 11:25 PM Now Rick, Say this every time you think about that pesky little tumor... The tumor in not growing it is getting smaller, The tumor in not growing it is getting smaller, The tumor in not growing it is getting smaller, The tumor in not growing it is getting smaller, The tumor in not growing it is getting smaller, The tumor in not growing it is getting smaller, The tumor in not growing it is getting smaller. Luvya. |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: Rick Fielding Date: 27 Sep 03 - 12:42 PM I'll say it Bert but I gotta spell it with a "U"! Thanks for all the positive stuff folks. Rick |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: Little Robyn Date: 28 Sep 03 - 12:24 AM Hi Rick Thought you might like to know we played one of your tracks on our radio show today, and one of Art's too! We played your Salty Dog and Art's North Country tragedy. LOL! We also played Pete Seeger and his grandson Tao singing Maple Syrup time so you were in good company. That's Folk on Sunday, here in New Zealand. Luv, Robyn. |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: Bert Date: 28 Sep 03 - 10:48 PM gotta spell it with a "U"! OK. that would make it UT I guess. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: Guy Wolff Date: 29 Sep 03 - 11:08 AM Tons of good thoughts to you Rick . So if Bert needed a U where dose it go ?? All the best Guy |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: Amos Date: 29 Sep 03 - 06:37 PM Bert wrote: The tumor in not growing it is getting smaller... Adapting Rick's requirement for a U in the spelling this becomes: The tumor in n I hope this clarifies the point. A |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: Guy Wolff Date: 29 Sep 03 - 06:43 PM THank You . All is clear. Or is it ?? |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: katlaughing Date: 29 Sep 03 - 10:37 PM Only if you like muddy waters, Guy! It's just a Brit/US English thing, tumour vs tumor.:-) |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: jbailes Date: 30 Sep 03 - 06:03 PM not much humor/humour in a tumor/tumour |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: bbc Date: 30 Sep 03 - 06:08 PM No, there ain't, but I'm sure glad Rick hasn't lost his sense of humor. It's one of the best things to get us through hard times. Good on ya, Rick! love, barbara |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: Joybell Date: 30 Sep 03 - 07:41 PM I'm new here but so many of you feel like old friends already. Rick, I just wanted to say that I'm sending my best wishes too. "If wishes were horses beggars would ride" my mother always said but I never knew how that helped, not being in need of a horse. If you would like a horse though, consider it sent. Sorry to get all flippant and silly but I escaped the big C (without too much trouble) and even that was scary. Good luck. A new friend Joy |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: catspaw49 Date: 01 Oct 03 - 05:34 AM HEY!! Finally remembered what I was gonna' say......first though, I gotta' tell you that the ou u thing and the repartee between the parties involved cracked me up! Kinda' reminded me of the earlier days when getting in a quick line often produced some really funny drifts. Doesn't happen as much anymore and that's kinda' sad. But what the hell........Now let's get back to what I was gonna' say....................... hmmmmmm ..............................maybe................................................. well shit...............................probably wasn't all that great............................................................. fuckit..... Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: GUEST,MMario Date: 01 Oct 03 - 08:28 AM Ladies and gentlemen and 'catters of other ilk: we interrupt this thread to ask you to focus a few thoughts and a minimal amount of energy for the sake of Catspaw - whose advanced case of CRS has reached a new and critical phase. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: Fortunato Date: 01 Oct 03 - 09:48 AM Hey Rick, I hope you're doing well, today. Please say hello to Heather for me. I want to tell you again, if you guys want to visit our area here in DC at anytime, you can count on me for lodging and transportation around town. You're always welcome. cheers, chance |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: Janie Date: 13 Oct 03 - 10:05 AM Those moonbeams have been pouring down on you & Heather. Hope you can feel the care and concern. Janie |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: GUEST Date: 15 Oct 03 - 12:37 PM Rick: How about a quick update before we all hit the road for the Getaway. Will miss you this year. Best regards, Annie |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: Partridge Date: 16 Oct 03 - 10:02 AM Hi Rick, thinking about you, please pop in and let us know how your doing. love Pat xx |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: Tinker Date: 16 Oct 03 - 02:39 PM Thinking of you and Heather as I wait for ColK to arrive. It's going to be a chilly one this weekend so I'm bringing along a pile of extra blankets. I'll be thinking of Heather as I pass them out. Take Care Blessings Kathy |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: GUEST,MMario Date: 16 Oct 03 - 03:01 PM and here I was checking the weather and thinking "great - it'll be warmer!" guess "chilly" and "warm" are relative... lows are suppossed to be in the forties -and I've been waking to frost and ice on the windshield - so I'm looking forward to "nice" weather. |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: Roger in Baltimore Date: 17 Oct 03 - 12:05 PM Rick, I don't get on the Mudcat very often these days. I'm only on line at work. When I truly want to avoid doing what I'm supposed to be doing, I come on-line. My belated best wishes to you and Heather. Your recovery will be in my thoughts and my prayers. God bless. Big RiB |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: Rick Fielding Date: 19 Oct 03 - 11:35 AM Sorry I couldn't get in before folks left for the getaway, but I was flat on my back for a week being seriously miserable. Cramps, diahrea, all the good stuff. Sure am missing being there, I'll tell you that, though. Went to the hospital and got "re-hydrated" (they pump tons of saline into you.) Hope to feel better this week. Thanks for the good wishes. Rick |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: bbc Date: 19 Oct 03 - 12:43 PM Ah, Rick, ups & downs. Sorry to hear about this down. I hope there will be some good "ups" in your future. I didn't make it to the Get-Away either, but did have a nice time getting back to ballroom dancing after 8 years away. We appreciate you stopping in to let us know how you're doing! love, Barbara |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: Dave Swan Date: 19 Oct 03 - 12:46 PM Hey Rick, Sorry you've had a bad stretch. If you should need to be rehydrated again, give me a call. I'll be happy to shove a firehose up yer ass. DAMMIT Catspaw, get out of my head. Uh, sorry Rick. Hope you're feeling better. Best to you and the lovely H. Dave & Pam |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: wysiwyg Date: 19 Oct 03 - 01:14 PM Rick, we're praying for you. Much love, ~Susan and Greg |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: Willie-O Date: 19 Oct 03 - 06:55 PM Amen to that. Bill Another Atheist For Miracles By the way, did I mention my mother-in-law has beaten cancer three times? She's supposed to be dead from the second time (1996) by now--instead she went another round last year and is doing very well. For her, it's all attitude. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: katlaughing Date: 19 Oct 03 - 07:01 PM Sorry you've been miserable but it sure is GOOD to hear from you, darlin'! I know they're all singing and pickin' with you in mind at the Getaway. Ol' cancer doesn't like hanging around so much light and love, ya know, so take a cue from Willie and welcome that unbelievable miracle. luvya, kat & Rog |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: GUEST,Ollie Date: 19 Oct 03 - 10:03 PM Wishing you well Rick lad. I think of you everytime I use my Banjo mute. I wanna hear your banjo RING ! |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: KathWestra Date: 19 Oct 03 - 11:38 PM Well, Rick and Heather, I'm just back from the Getaway (have to work tomorrow. Most folks are still there, lucky dogs), and if you had a dollar for every time somebody at the Getaway mentioned how much you and Heather were missed, you'd have a lot more dough than you could ever make in a typical gig as a folksinger! It was a coldish, but crystal clear perfect fall weekend--perfect except for those two Toronto friends who weren't joining their voices with ours. We missed you greatly, dears. Sorry for the miserable week, Rick, but dearly hope you're feeling better for the fluids you got. Love you loads always. Kathy |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: InOBU Date: 20 Oct 03 - 07:42 AM Hey Rick! Looking forward to the ups after the downs for you. Cheers Larry (you auld sault you...) |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: JedMarum Date: 21 Oct 03 - 01:40 AM I don't have a humorous story to pass on, but I sure did pick-up a few in this thread! I enjoy reading all the clever comments from your friends Rick, and want to add my very best wishes for you and Heather. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: Escamillo Date: 21 Oct 03 - 04:56 AM I'm always thinking about you, Rick, and trying to be there in spirit. Just remember you have a friend at the very far South. Un abrazo, Andrés |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: mooman Date: 21 Oct 03 - 06:22 AM Dear Rick, Continuing thoughts and support from myself and Patricia. Peace, moo |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: Partridge Date: 21 Oct 03 - 08:34 AM Still thinking about you and wishing you well. I've just read the thread about the getaway, seems you were toasted so many times. love Pat x |

Subject: RE: BS: Rick's health Update From: GUEST,arnie Date: 21 Oct 03 - 11:39 AM I was at the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals this weekend. I often thought of you Rick. I wish you could have been there with us. You are a hero in the traditional music booster department, and there was a huge lack in that department there. Yes I did a banjo showcase - I think we got in by some fluke or something, but it's painfully obvious that traditional music is the farthest thing from artistic directors minds these days. If things keep going that way, authentic trad music will be totally in the history books as far as Ontario festivals are concerned. We owe you a great deal Rick - we'd like (need) you back. Me and Kathy will be doing a Ragged But Right recording this coming year - can't wait to use your beautifully crafted leather sign again and often! Thinking of you, Arnie |
