Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: SINSULL Date: 19 Sep 08 - 11:03 AM Charmion, Flop at my house if it works for you. M |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Charmion Date: 19 Sep 08 - 05:54 PM Thanks for the offer, SINS, but Maine is very far off the track from Ottawa to Maryland. We'll be coming straight down Interstate 81 from the Ivy Lea Bridge all the way to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where we will get on Interstate 83 to head for the Beltway. If you run the route on Google Maps, you'll see that Harrisburg is almost due south from Ottawa, and the I-81 through New York and Pennsylvania is the straightest possible run on that bearing. By the time we get to the Getaway, we will be thoroughly tired of travelling, I betcha. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: artbrooks Date: 19 Sep 08 - 07:41 PM Glad Marion has a ride - there was some (brief) discussion earlier about us picking her up on our way through Pittsburgh. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Genie Date: 20 Sep 08 - 02:15 AM Glad to hear Marion's coming, too. Maybe we'll get her to do that "Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond ... " song again. ;D Genie |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Marion Date: 20 Sep 08 - 07:46 AM I'm glad I'm coming, too... I've wanted to go to a getaway for years, but never had both the time and the money till now. It'll be great to reunite with some of the people I've met on my travels, and see faces for other names. Did you know, Genie, that Willie Nelson recorded that cowboy song a couple of years ago? Marion |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Genie Date: 20 Sep 08 - 11:24 AM Hey, Marion, we'll both be Getaway virgins! And for the same reason. LOL Yeah, I did know Willie recorded that song, and I heard his version once, but you were my first, so to speak -- plus, I understand it was written by a woman. I hope you'll sing it sometime at the Getaway. Genie |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Allan C. Date: 23 Sep 08 - 06:03 AM Well, folks, I am sorry to say that the stars failed once again to align in such a way as to allow Carmen and me to attend the Getaway. We'll be thinking of you all and will sing along as loudly as we can. Just pretend you can hear us while we pretend we can hear you. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Janie Date: 23 Sep 08 - 06:51 AM Hi Allan and Carmen! Very sorry you aren't coming, but great to hear you are still alive! Janie |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: jacqui.c Date: 23 Sep 08 - 07:08 AM You will both be missed - start working on getting there next year! |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: SINSULL Date: 23 Sep 08 - 08:04 AM Damn, Allan! I thought once the PhD was finished, you'd be here. Ah well... Willie Nelson has a UTube of the Cowboy Song. It's hilarious. Somewhere I have the link. m |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Amos Date: 23 Sep 08 - 10:59 AM That's one song I really meant tyo learn and forgot to. Thanks for the reminder. A |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Amos Date: 24 Sep 08 - 01:50 PM Just for easy reference: "There's many a strange impulse out on the plains of West Texas; There's many a young boy who feels things he don't comprehend. Well small town don't like it when somebody falls between sexes, No, small town don't like it when a cowboy has feelings for men. Well I believe in my soul that inside every man there's a feminine, And inside every lady there's a deep manly voice loud and clear. Well, a cowboy may brag about things that he does with his women, But the ones who brag loudest are the ones that are most likely queer. Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other Ten men for each woman was the rule way back when on the prairie, And somehow those cowboys must have kept themselves warm late at night. Cowboys are famous for getting riled up about fairies, But I'll tell you the reason a big strong man gets so uptight: Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other -- Well there's always somebody who says what the others just whisper, And mostly that someone's the first one to get shot down dead: When you talk to a cowboy don't treat him like he was a sister Don't mess with the lady that's sleepin' in each cowboy's head. Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Joe Offer Date: 27 Sep 08 - 11:43 PM Can anybody lend me bedding for the Getaway, from Friday night until Monday morning? United wants $25 each way to carry my sleeping bag. Please contact me by personal message. Thanx. -Joe- -got a message from Kendall, who said he'd make sure I had bedding. Thanks, Kendall. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Amos Date: 28 Sep 08 - 03:26 PM I must go off to the Getaway, By the distant West River shore. I am called by the call of a thousand souls The guitar, and the banjo's roar, For the Getaway's cal is a pure, high call, As clear as the smell of a skunk, To spend three days in the Muses' ways, Picking, and singing, and drunk. And the songs they sing are the fine old songs From when songs were writ in the soul. Long before the days of rap, or punk, And the crash of rock and roll. When a man could sing to the stars on high, His guitar as his only aid, And folks would nod, and smile and hum Knowing every song he played. No, I must go back to the Getaway, And the Getaway songsters true, And all I ask is six sound strings And a fifth for to see me through. For the hugs of friends, and the jamming hours Make a bond, which you may not free, Until I return to the Western shore And put out again to sea. |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Bill D Date: 28 Sep 08 - 04:39 PM An anthem, an anthem! closest we ever had before was a parody of Cyril Tawney's "On a Monday Morning" |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Tradsinger Date: 28 Sep 08 - 05:40 PM There is a possibility that Davies-Brenchley-Davies can make it next year (i.e. Carol and Gwilym Davies and Terry Brenchley). Watch this space. Tradsinger |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Fortunato Date: 29 Sep 08 - 12:27 PM The weather for the Getaway looks good so far, 68 to 70 degrees farenheit, partly cloudy Friday and Sunny on Sat and Sunday. See you all there on Friday afternoon (and some of you on Thursday at the singaround) regards, chance |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Nancy King Date: 29 Sep 08 - 05:47 PM Good one, Amos! Joe -- delighted to hear you'll be coming! We'd about given up on you! Just a few more days... |

|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: MaineDog Date: 29 Sep 08 - 06:23 PM Sounds like a good time is in store for most of you, except perhaps for those who have been singled out for abuse (!?), However, I have to play for a memorial service for our recently departed friend and dance teacher Marianne Taylor. Perhaps next year! MD |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Linda Goodman Zebooker Date: 30 Sep 08 - 10:24 PM Lots of people volunteered on their registration forms to help with the Friday potluck. Many thanks - I'll contact you if you are among them. But some help will also be needed to set up the evening snack on Saturday after the concert, or to clean up afterwards. That wasn't asked for on the form. If you'd like to help with Saturday, please see me...I'll be there as soon as I can be on Friday evening. I'm looking forward to meeting the Mudcatters who have not been at The Getaway before! Maybe someone will point me out to you, or vice-versa! --Linda |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Anglo Date: 01 Oct 08 - 02:06 AM MaineDog, you are doing a wonderful thing there. I didn't know Marianne well, but I was always up for dancing some bourrees at her regular French session at Neffa, which was fun, fun, fun. She was such a vivacious, giving person. I will miss her. Think a good thought for me. I'll miss meeting you at the Getaway. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Anglo Date: 01 Oct 08 - 02:09 AM And Amos, I'll look forward to meeting you too. (--from one who recently recorded a certain poem by a certain Mr Masefield.) |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: jacqui.c Date: 01 Oct 08 - 06:23 AM We're just getting ready to go out the door and head for the Cook's residence down in Laurel MD. Hopefully we've packed everything needed into the truck, including our house guest, Claire. Here we go for a few days of fun! |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: artbrooks Date: 01 Oct 08 - 07:23 AM We are at #2 daughter's house in Pittburgh, getting acclimatized to such Eastern phenomena as cloudy skys, rain and the Eastern time zone. Off tomorrow for some sightseeing in DC - we still haven't decided on Fortuntato's sing or the debate Thursday night, so expect us if you see us. |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: SINSULL Date: 01 Oct 08 - 08:08 AM Some of our bedding is on its way down with Jacqui and Kendall along with a box for Micca (to open not sleep in). Last minute arrangements for pick ups, directions, and... Soon! |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: MMario Date: 01 Oct 08 - 08:28 AM I wanna picture of Micca trying to sleep in the box! |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Amos Date: 01 Oct 08 - 10:13 AM Look forward to it, Anglo. I am dragging duffel bags down from the overhead and planning where to put things. As for Micca, he's ALWAYS played outside the box. All his supervisors, spouses, significant others, and local constabulary have tried for years to get him to behave and get back in the box, but he just slips out the other side. A |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Leadfingers Date: 01 Oct 08 - 10:54 AM Just over 48 hour to Departure from VA!! Looking forward to it just a tad! |

|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Charley Noble Date: 01 Oct 08 - 10:18 PM Looks like a 10 hour drive for me. So I doubt if I'll get there before 7 pm. So I've got all of tomorrow to print my driving charts, pick my on-the-road CD's, pack the van, and make sure the cat-sitter can find all the essentials. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Janie Date: 01 Oct 08 - 10:43 PM Ooo - I'm glad you posted that, Charlie! (note to self - remember to print out directions to West River....) |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Janie Date: 01 Oct 08 - 10:48 PM Dani, her girls and I probably won't roll in until close to midnight. Leave the lights on for us! Janie |
|
Subject: RE: Getaway 2008 From: Amos Date: 01 Oct 08 - 10:49 PM Hell, Janie, I expect there will be several jams in full fling by that time. A |
