Tom was unaware (or had forgotten, rather) that I have to work on Sunday, the 15th -- so that my coworker will work for me on Tuesday (St. Patrick's Day) when I need to be on stage at The Press Room instead of closing Sears Optical.

But...we'll be there. I have to be disciplined enough not to indulge too much and to get to bed early, and we'll have to leave earlier than usual the next morning.

Sounds like a week of "too much fun"...!

Good news, Linn! Now figure out how to make Brian Peters at TRUBRIT's.
Peter and Joann are in for Joe Stead too.

Definitely can't do it, alas, on a Friday night -- not only because of the Press Room session, but because I open Saturday. Just can't do it -- really disappointed that I can't see Brian again.

Joe really enjoys it when you all munch on crispy things all together, as its hard for him to hit the target

unless he's gone in for straffing' !

Hows his scar?

Check house insurance and I hope you are well away from neighbors

property prices could be lowered even further

Its not too late to change the venue, I hear there's a disused mine shaft nearby.

you have my admiration

Ah the days of the Tramp shed

At least he wont be over here, do keep him.

It'll be just our luck that there'll be a baggage handlers strike and they wont be able to load him on board

nick his banjo

please

and him

ah, sighs of relief

Breezy - If he has a banjo he may find that he gets trapped in SINSULL's house. She's been looking for a banjo player for quite a while now.

at least it will be better looking than Joe

I dont know if he's learned how to play it yet cos after 40 years he may have quit on it, well he should have going by how he abused when I knew him !!

Oh no , not Joe Hill again

We hosted Joe last night and a fine time was had by all. He's got his banjo, bandolin and a voice to shake the rafters. Enjoy the show and bring as many friends as you can. They won't be disappointed.

Welcome to the mudcat, Clarke!

It was a great time at your house, and nice to meet you.

SINS, he has a pretty wife with him to 'carry his banjo'. Don't think I wasn't looking. I sent him with warm wishes for you all, ask for them.

From Joe's website:
Joe Stead began singing folk songs in the 1950's.

Referred to as a legend by some he is certainly a folklorist of some repute on numerous aspects of folklore. He has met and sung with Paul Robeson and Pete Seeger.

He was recently invited to sing in Chile in South America at the First Valparaiso Festival of the Sea. Together with Kimber's Men he appears frequently at festivals all over Great Britain.

Professional performer since 1966.

Owner of Greenwich Village Records and Sweet Folk All Recordings, 1973 -1989.

Folk Agent, 1972 - 1986.

Specialty workshops and lectures. 'The Life and times of Paul Robeson' and 'Valparaiso round the Horn'.

Me, please! I told Jacqui at the Press Room, but I've felt so crappy I didn't want to post to the thread and commit in case I had the pneumonic plague or something. It looks like I'm going to pull through.

You'll have a great time. Bring a friend.

I was very, very tired, but still managed a chorus or two, and tried hard to be a good audience. He does manage to fill the room, even without the rest of Kimber's Men! There was no chance of my falling asleep, that's for sure.

There is a possibility that I may be in Maine that weekend. If I am I would love to come. I won't know until the 12th for sure. Is that ok? I would need directions, coming up from Wells or possibly from Bethel.

As I dont know the size of your salle de bains I cannot comment, but ask, ney demand, to take his banjo as collateral, then stamp on it.

better still. use an outside tin bath with a sprinkler.


ask him where had his appendix taken out?

he likes to woken early, preferably before dawn , and any other women, , with a very loud bang ! honest.

Sinsull-

Actually Roll & Go is doing a benefit concert on Peaks Island Saturday evening, March 28, and Judy and I will probably need to stay home Friday just to charge up our batteries.

My it's already busy and it ain't even summer.

I'm on a diet, so I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm willing to blow the calories for a night, but I can't blow the fat allowance.

Turkey's good and salad's good, but keep me away from the cheese or I might drool on it. (Turkey in March--what a treat!)

I've got some fat free cheese here. Tastes like somebody was eating American cheese-flavored product and then sneezed. I guess it's better than no cheese. I can have a LITTLE fat (I actually have to have a little fat). Non-fat half & half sucks, so I allot for that.

I will work calories off singing. Luckily, alcohol is 100% fat free!
