Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: Rick Fielding Date: 25 Jun 99 - 09:58 PM Big Mick, glad to see you back. The sad truth all you new catters is...that a glimpse at his photo (find it yourself, you lustful wenches) will show that Big Mick HAS no warts and pimples! Were he at that nudist camp with me (yes Mick, it was me) I probably would have guessed his profession as Greek/Irish God, even without the uniform!
P.S. You'd have known I was a folksinger cause the only things I forgot to take off were my finger-picks. |

Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: alison Date: 25 Jun 99 - 10:34 PM ssssssssshhhhhhhhhhh Rick..... don't tell everyone what a hunk he is or there'll be a huge queue of women waiting for these hugs he's promising. Hahahahahahaha so when is this Mudcat nude festival anyway? *grin* slainte alison (the queue starts behind me........OK with you Mick???) |

Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: catspaw49 Date: 25 Jun 99 - 10:49 PM Wouldn't touch that one with a ten foot pole. Then again................................. catspaw |

Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: Big Mick Date: 26 Jun 99 - 12:46 AM The facts are, Fair One, that it is me that would have to stand in line to compete for your hand. A task I would freely accept, after we hugged and made music together. You may take that last statement in its literal OR figurative sense , Fair One. LOL BTW, ........Mudcatters are slicker than..........hot chicken fat on (pronounced oan) a stuck doorknob. Rick, I can relate to the finger picks. They will have to pry them off my cold dead fingers. Have you ever tried the Alaska Picks? I love them, they let me feel the strings and yet give me the sound I want. And Rick, any chance you can make FSGW? I am trying to get 'Spaw to come along. Why don't you meet us along the way somewhere? Wouldn't that be a hoot? All the best, Mick |

Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: harpgirl Date: 26 Jun 99 - 06:15 AM ..."mud is thicker than water" gets my vote as well...tee-shirts don't strike me as the height of fashion but now a baseball cap!!!! I can get under that!!! harpgirl |
|
Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: Rick Fielding Date: 26 Jun 99 - 12:04 PM Catspaw, what about a six foot Hungarian? Mick, the Alaska picks are interesting, but I've been using my custom nationals (I spend at least 2 hours on each with a dremil) for so long I just can't change. The getaway sounds great but once again I'd have to get a gig somewhat nearby to be able to attend. This being the sole-support guy at 1235 Kingston rd. is starting to wear a little thin! We shall meet however! By the way, I forget. Do you know my friend Len Wallace? rick |

Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 26 Jun 99 - 03:10 PM A couple of messages here to loved ones: Harpgirl, in one of the funniest scenes in Young Frankenstein, Igor (Marty Feldman) goes to the brain depository (!) to get a brain for the being he is helping the good doctor to create (it's supposed to be Hans Delbrook, something and humanitarian--but he drops it) and ends up with one clearly identified as "Abnormal--do not use this one." Later, when the the creature is brought to life and proves to be violent, Dr. F asks Igor if the brain was that of Hans Delbrook. Igor shakes his head in shame and admits it was Abby somebody's. "Abby" who's?" the doctor insists. "Uh, Abby Normal's," Igor says. "You mean I put an abnormal brain in a nine foot four hundred pound...[I can't come up with the noun]?" Remember it? Annap, I, too, have a tape of it. Watching it together has become a ritual at family reunions--there's one very funny family story related to it...made rather poignant because of the November death of my brother who played a key role in the tale. And Mick, what are Alaska picks? I have been trying to create finger and thumb picks that allow me to feel the strings of my banjo. I can't stand regular picks, so I play without picks even in three-finger style, vastly limiting my speed and volume control. And after a year in the community I finally started meeting a few of the people here in the flesh--Fadac, Dave Swan and PJ (Dave's wife), Winter's Wages, RiGGy, and next month the beautiful Blessings Barbara. I'd love to be able to make Mudstock this summer, but can't--I'm looking forward to Mudstock II (Mick, ya still keeping that time open?) --seed |

Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: harpgirl Date: 26 Jun 99 - 06:56 PM ...Seed, Barara e-mailed me to remind me that we had a discussion about your favorite movie a while back. I do dimly remember it but I am not known for my short term memory either...I think I'll rent the movie and have a laugh while I imagine you naked!!!harpgirl (just kidding, I think) |

Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: Rick Fielding Date: 26 Jun 99 - 07:55 PM Seed. Walk this way! |

Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 26 Jun 99 - 11:39 PM I may just have to watch it again tonight: "Poot the kendle beck!" is the key line in my family story. Constable: "Need a hand?" Dr. Frankenstein: "No, thanks. Got one." And of course every time that Donald Marrs (?) opened his mouth or did anything, for that matter..., and the couples on the train, first in the US and then, approaching Transylvania, in German, discussing their adolescent, masturbating son...Oh, and Gene Hackman as the blind hermit: "Fire is our friend," and the little girl: "The petals are all gone--what else can we drop in the well?" --seed |

Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: Big Mick Date: 27 Jun 99 - 02:42 AM Hey Seed, Last question first. I have every intention of going to Mudcat 11. I only need the date for the event in the year 2000, and I will mark it off. And this year, It looks like I am going to be able to make FSGW's getaway weekend in October. I hope to meet a number of you there. The Alaska pic fits under your fingernail and around your finger. Works like an extension for your fingernail I have to take them and spend about 15 minutes each shaping just so. They work great. You can usually find them in a good acoustic shop, or you can get them at www.elderly.com. Mick |

Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: WyoWoman Date: 27 Jun 99 - 06:11 PM I blush to admit I've never seen YOung Frankenstein. I'm going down to the video store right this very minute to rent it. KC |

Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: Lonesome EJ Date: 27 Jun 99 - 10:34 PM "Pardon me, boy. Is this the Transylvania station?" And a phrase that I have used in many bad situations."Could be worse- could be raining." |

Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: Rita64 Date: 28 Jun 99 - 01:11 AM Quite often I visit Mudcat just to marvel at the witty UFBS (Unadulterated Facetious Bull Shit). I love your brains. It is so wonderful NOT to have faces to match your names. If only you could see the "lovable" images formed in my headspace when I read messages posted by annap, Art, Big Mick, seed, katlaughing, Alice, Fadac etc. You are bodiless creatures with caricature faces. I wonder how many of my imaginings are similar to the flesh and blood? Scary thought - in my mind Art resembles that smartypants heckling old guy with the moustache from The Muppet Show. Tee hee hee - and Fadac has dark hair and always wears khaki green and I imagine Big Mick in denim overalls. I won't even mention Matthew B. (this forum is G rated isn't it?) I don't often contribute - usually because someone else has stolen the "original" thought I want to express. -FYM- |

Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: Rick Fielding Date: 28 Jun 99 - 02:43 AM Geez Fair maid, don't look at the photo album! |
|
Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: catspaw49 Date: 28 Jun 99 - 07:37 AM Are we about to make "Young Frankenstein" an Official Mudcat Movie? Hmmm...Well, stay close to the candles, the stairs can be treacherous. catspaw |

Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 28 Jun 99 - 09:19 AM ...What hump?? I am also truly, madly, deeply in love with y'all, and I just want to confirm a suspicion some of us have had- after 3 days at the Old Songs Festival I can attest that 'Catters are even more wonderful in person than in the ether- at least the ones I've met. They're funny, cheerful, helpers in adversity, generous, intelligent, and know a lot of songs I'd never heard before. I hope to get my film developed this week and will send some e-pix to Bill in hopes to add to the family album, but in this case a picture doesn't convey the joy I had in meeting Dick, Susan, bbc and her husband Duane, Jeri, Barbara Shaw, Bill Sables, and seeing Sandy and Caroline Paton and Charlie Baum again. I had to leave early so missed the last fond farewells but the memory lingers on and I know I've made some lasting friendships! Mud is thicker than water- yeah!! Love you all- Allison |
|
Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: Jeri Date: 28 Jun 99 - 09:54 AM Having returned from Old Songs, I have to say that Mudcatters are great on-line, much better in person. There's the hug factor, for one thing. And the singing together for another. Bill Sables rescued me from a drunk on Sat night. When I thanked him, he said it was his duty as a Mudcatter. If all the world were on Mudcat, it would be a peaceful, happy place. And Max would have to get a really big server. Animaterra/Allison - "Mud is Thicker than Water" - I want the bumper sticker! |

Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: annamill Date: 28 Jun 99 - 11:10 AM That's right! He was my boyfriend!! What a wonderful thread this has been and I'm jealous of those who managed to get to Old Songs. I couldn't go, because my honey Glenn's daughter graduated from eighth grade Friday and we had a party Saturday. I can't wait until July 17th, but even more, October in Washington where it seems almost everyone is going. HAWD, Love, annap |
|
Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: WyoWoman Date: 28 Jun 99 - 11:54 PM Hmmm... "If all the world were on Mudcat ...." This sounds like substance abuse. Maybe this should be a posting on the "Addiction?" thread? KC |
|
Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: bbc Date: 29 Jun 99 - 12:20 AM Just agreeing w/ what Allison & Jeri said. Everyone we met in person at Old Songs was great & it was very satisfying to put flesh around the words we already knew them by. Duane & I are wondering if we can make it to the DC Getaway in Oct. to meet more of you. It's certainly tempting. We've had the unexpected benefit of Bill Sables as a houseguest. He is delightful! Duane & Bill are swapping songs & stories in the kitchen right now. Wish you were all here w/ us! love, Barbara |
|
Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: WyoWoman Date: 29 Jun 99 - 12:32 AM We could all meet at Mudstock and fall in love in a Montana kind of way... (Did anybody ever get any details on that thing, by the way?) KC |

Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: SingsIrish Songs Date: 29 Jun 99 - 02:46 AM Young Fronk-en-steen....Great movie!...

Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: Philippa Date: 29 Jun 99 - 09:06 AM I too would love to hear you all sing and play. Thanks everyone who has ever helped me with lyrics or information and also to those who give me the satisfaction of assisting their queries. There have been a few comments on this thread about exercising caution; I occasionally notice rash offers of a bed for the night to someone who p[resumably they only know as a name on Mudcat. |
|
Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: Allan C. Date: 29 Jun 99 - 09:21 AM I have noticed the same kind of thing, Phillipa. Only it seems to happen more often in bars and taverns. |
|
Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: Jeri Date: 29 Jun 99 - 09:37 AM And the rash happens later. |

Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: WyoWoman Date: 29 Jun 99 - 10:15 AM I'm brave -- my roommates are a doberman and a schnauser/wolverine mix... KC |
|
Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: Alice Date: 29 Jun 99 - 02:52 PM KC, how the heck did a schnauser allow a wolverine to get that close? ;-> |
|
Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: Allan C. Date: 29 Jun 99 - 02:59 PM Well, Alice, if a human can fall in love with a catfish... |
|
Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: Alice Date: 29 Jun 99 - 03:50 PM good point, allan |
|
Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: WyoWoman Date: 30 Jun 99 - 01:06 AM I think the schnauser did whatever it was Catspaw was doing to the possum...Wolverines love that stuff. KC |
|
Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: Matthew B. Date: 01 Jul 99 - 09:01 AM If I were a blushing man, I'd be blushing from what Fair Youngmaid wrote about me.
I won't even mention Matthew B. (this forum is G rated isn't it?) What a thrill. And yet one more fine example of how easy it is for me to keep falling in love with Mudcatters. |
|
Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: Matthew B. Date: 02 Jul 99 - 04:37 PM ...and of course that gives me an luscious image of Fair Youngmaid that I'd better not describe in print. |

Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: catspaw49 Date: 08 Dec 99 - 09:45 PM I saw this thread in emily rain's post and was having such fun reading it, so ................ Vintage Mudcat and the origin of the phrase, "Mud is Thicker than Water." The amount of thread creep and conversations going on here just proves it. Damn but I do love this place. Spaw |

Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: Áine Date: 08 Dec 99 - 09:53 PM So, Spaw, what am I -- chopped liver??? -- Áine |

Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: Date: 08 Dec 99 - 11:34 PM If MUD IS THICKER THAN WATER, do we sometimes have a MUDSLIDE rather than THREAD CREEP? |
|
Subject: RE: Falling in Love with Mudcatters From: Cara Date: 09 Dec 99 - 12:48 AM I was just listening to the arhive of tonight's Mudcat Radio and reflecting on how much I love this place too. I'm glad you brought this thread back up "Spaw. This place rocks (in a folkie kind of way). And emily rain is right about Max (radio thread reference) love and peaceful easiness, Cara |
