MGAS!!!! Thank you for the t-shirt and the CD. I am listening to it right now. Great stuff!

Anybody who hasn't been to the website should have a boo.

Thanks Hils.

Now... THAT is Blues. The facial expressions, the voice... you could "feel" that "feel" of true Blues. I could see and "feel" that he was totally into it. Excellent. That is what playing ANY kind of music is all about. Great capture!

Thank you, Splott Man--It's quite obvious Max loves the blues--I think this was the best performance I've seen posted for him. Way to go, Max!

Mrs Pavane was thrilled that she was played on USA radio.
Mind you, there is a recording, somewhere, from 1979, of her singing an advert for ice-cream in Dubai. "We all scream for Kwality ice-cream" to the tune of Yellow Submarine. Ouch

Or it could be that he actually meant to type "sick" as this means "great" or "excellent" these days among those who are "down with the kids". ;o)

Now now children.

FWIW Myspice & Farcebook cannot upload MP3. no song or speech unless you are prepared to make it into a video.

So I did. Farcebook cannot take 2 minutes plus.
Myspice has it but I cannot search for it to post the URL. Maybe that will change given a day or so for them to catalogue it.

If you want to hear Max talking about Mudcat search for
"interview with Max Spiegel (Mr Mudcat)" (the actual title).

Good luck. I will post the blickie when I can get it.

If you're prepared to slag people off at least have the guts to put your name to it

Err, kind of whom was being slagged off? Telling somebody that their question was answered 5 posts above by the thread's author is not 'slagging them off' It's pointing out the obvious...

Guest, that wasn't very kind was it?

But I appreciate the information and link you've put up for the Folk Show archive, so thank you for that. I'm still not having any luck finding the Blues show archives so I'm glad to have been pointd to the Folk Show one as I probably won't be able to listen live here in the UK.

Girl Friday,

Do you actually read what people say?

From Max: I know it's too late at night for many of you to listen live, so we will archive the show and make it available in the days that follow.

The archived programme will (perhaps unsurprisingly) be found under the Archive section of the website, but as Max says it will take will a few days after the programme to put it up.

The show is also next Saturday (18th) not last week as some other people seem to think.

Any advice anyone?

LOL.....I apologize for the sidetrack. Actually, both your QB and the kid at Michigan scare the hell out of me. OSU is weak on special teams but otherwise look really fine but I can easily see a three loss season as well as a no loss one.

And now back to the music..........

MGAS, 3 AM, not pm.

Spaw, don't hijack my thread to knock my Nittany Lions. #1 teams are 18-0 against ranked opponents with an average of a 24 point margin. We beat the average with a quarterback that was in high school 6 months ago, on the road in the 2nd game of the season of a rebuilding year. Plus, I thought we moved the ball well. Very encouraging game.

You had a great win over Miami, by the way, kudos.

(see the difference in caliber of human being that Penn State puts out as apposed to Ohio State?)

Hi Max. I looked at your link for last week's show,and found it not archived, so was disappointed about that. This is great though. Is the U S A ready for Tone Deaf Leopard? We do have experience of recording promo jingles, having done one for an Essex station's folk show . We'll put some thought to it.

Hey gang. I'll be hosting the Folk Show on WPSU FM (http://folkshow.org) at 8pm EST this Saturday, September 18th. I mention this here because I intend to talk about my journey and play cuts from the dozen or so CDs you all gave me while over there.

If anyone didn't get me one, and they have any mp3s they could email me ([e-mail]), email them to me and I'll try to get them on the air.

Also, if anyone has the wherewithal to record any promo spots for me and email them, that would be awesome. Even if it's on your phone or hand recorder. As a suggestion: "You are listening to the amazing Max Spiegel who just got back from impressing the hell out of England ...on the Folk Show on WPSU FM" ;) Seriously, though, anything you want, key words being "Folk Show" and "WPSU".

I know it's too late at night for many of you to listen live, so we will archive the show and make it available in the days that follow.

Thanks,
Max

Just to let you all know how we did with the Escapade T-shirts. Max has had the proceeds from the sold T-shirts since I got to the point where my costs were covered. There are only 4 left if anyone still wants them. There are 2 off XL, 1 off L and 1 off L demo. Price may now be negotiable to save me keeping them in my cupboards *grin*

Oh, I'm so glad I didn't order 100......

May I second Katlaughing's post? Mudcat and the Digitrad are phenomenal resources and we are very lucky to have them.

It was a delight to meet Max and hear him sing. Another time we must show him more of lovely Lewes.

OK, I know that sounds dim, but I can't find the 'rotate clockwise' button on anything! I've uploaded some of the pics onto my facebook page, so if anyone wants to 'be my friend' let me know.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the trip I have vicariously taken and want to thank all involved for taking such good care of "Fearless Leader" and sending him home in one piece. This is another of the threads that not only tells a tale but one where we have learned a great deal about an awful lot of members who are often more quiet about themselves.....sorta' like the memorable Bill Sables and Allen USA Tour years ago.

He returns just in time for the beginning of college football season so he can once again see his Penn State Nittany Lions get the shit kicked out of them by the Buckeyes of Ohio State.

Good to have you back lad.........What's this year's bet?

It was great to meet you in the flesh Max and also to meet My Guru Always Said and Noreen and Barbry in The Board Inn at Whitby, along with about another 30 Mudcatters or more!

It has been a real delight reading your travelogue and I also hope that you might ruminate some more amout your trip and consolidate a sort of reflective summary of your experience with pictures and commentary etc (but please do rest up and recover from what must have been a truly exhausting time here first).

In the meantime, talking about 'pictures' etc, does anybody else have any more photos or video that connect with Max and his trip around the UK that could be posted and shared on this thread?
