Charley, when you're picking out your CDs don't forget the Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore East. Guaranteed to wake you up on those long stretches.

We'll be there - but not until Saturday morning. One night in the cabin is probably all Kiran's up to at this point. (And let's hope he doesn't stay up.)

Dan, we'll have plenty of sweet & soft lullabys on hand & ready.

Dani, Janie & all we'll just be about warmed up by the time you roll in, we'll be waiting up for ya all, with lower lights shinning.

Cindy, if it'd make you feel better you'd be the belle of the ball wish you were coming

Thanks for the kind words, Barry - Jacqui tells me you are substituting for me as the Egyptian Princess in the mummer's play --- that is quite a responsibility!!!!!!

I think I know how to respond as an Egyptian Princess, any hints, you were born in Egypt, how do they play with mama's in Egyptian? With breastplates, necklaces & snakes of course

Barry-

Here are some interesting lyrics (that I just cribbed from somewhere) to review for your re-enactment:

Cleopatra did ten
thousand in her Iifetime
now what a wide mouth
Cleopatra gave a service with a smile
she was a wide mouthed girl
a wide mouthed girl

Cleopatra did a hundred Roman
Centurions

for after dinner mints
Cleopatra used a suction
oh so unheard of
she was a wide mouthed girl
a wide mouthed girl (believe it)

show me a bigger mouth
show me a bigger mouth
show me a bigger mouth
show me a bigger mouth
what a weak distorted image
Elizabeth and Richard
gave you the screen
of the wide mouthed girl
wide mouthed girl.

You'll have to come up with your own tune.

Can you do that Egyptian dance, with the waving arms, hieroglyphic style?

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

Could'a sworn I posted this earlier today, but a black hole seems to have swallowed it up.

I got into DC last night and am staying at Severn's house but didn't get much sleep (some very friendly, enthusiastic other house guests with apparently less need for zzz's than I have). Severn and I will be at Fortunato's singaround tonight.   I have no guitar with me, so DK if I'll be able to do much more than listen, or sing along on chorus songs, but it'll be great to meet some folks in person whom I've only "known" online, as well as some new ones.

I am still hoping maybe some of the local Mudcatters might bring an extra thin-necked guitar to the Getaway, that they might be willing to lend for a workshop or two.   I'm not any good with classical or other wide-necked guitars or heavy gauge strings.   At home I play a Martin 00018 and a couple others (e.g., an Alvarez and a Sigma) of similar size and shape), with extra lights.    I've heard that sometimes at the Getaway there are people who bring extra guitars for out-of-towners to use.   Big Mick has told me he's bringing the Baby Taylor, and I think I can play that one OK, but I don't know how its neck and action compare to the 00018.   

I want to extend special thanks to whoever ordered today's DC-area weather.   It's a beaut!

Genie, I'll be bringing my Martin 000-18 (with light-gauge strings), and you're welcome to use it. It's not an "extra" guitar, being the only one I have, but I usually don't play it very much. Let's touch base Friday night and you can let me know when you'd like to use it.

Glad you liked today's weather -- the forecast gets even better for the weekend!

See y'all tomorrow night!

Blessings on the Getaway

We send to you all journeys of delight,
Diverting companions to sweeten the days,
And music seeping, flowing, rushing,
Enough to fill the deep well of joy in each heart
Enough to lighten the darkest despair
Music to brighten the stars overhead
Music to comfort those who fain would be with you,
Yet are not.

I am at Fortunato's in Sunny Downttown Silver Spring MD having had a pleasent(and Delightful) Lunch at the Royal Mile pub and we are about to load up the car and set off for the Getaway. We had a lovely sing and music last night, I still can't understand TJ passing up the Getaway for a trip to Hawaii!!!! what a strange choice to make!!!

I posted a reply to Charley, Nancy, Bruce, Gary and others earlier this morning. This is about the 4th time in a week that posts I've made have vanished into some sort of cyber black hole. Weird.

Anyway, without bothering to repost it all, I'll just say thanks to those of you who are bringing spares or willing to share your various axes.    I'm sure I'm not the only one who'll need to borrow some strings or a concertina.

Really looking forward to tonight. We should be getting there in a few hours.

Man, just got home from my gig, went out to the barn and got my sleeping bag, shook the mouse crap outta it, have it airing out on the clothes line and gettin' ready to pack the essentials: 2 geetars, one pair of clean underwear, a toothbrush, a six-pack of Iron City disguised to look like Sprite cans and a case of Geritol...

So tomorrow morning I'll be off to the Getaway for the one day that I have...

Won't be the same not having KT to fire from the band... Sniff...

Oh yeah, thanks fir reminding me, I need to round up some feathers in case any of the large bottomed womens insist on being in the band...

Have fun tomorrow, and give 'em all a hug for me, k?
