Actually, Lena, I didn't mean he was attacking in the post, the fast tongue bit was what I was talking about....

I have to point out that reed players (and horn players) always have a puddle of cold spittle on the ground underneath their instrument, and there is usually a stream of it dripping out of the bell, and more often than not, you pipers have a bit of it dripping and drooling down your face and dripping of your chins--and your old faces are usually somewhat purple due to the double reed that you're puffing on--

If you banjo boys want to get a little more attention from the lassies, take a word from me--keep your chins up when you play--when you shove your right shoulder up and your chins down to look at your fingers, and it gives you more chins than my fat old Grannie.

Michaela--don't I know it! Ptooey! But if I was playing for my girl, I'd probably be starry-eyed and absent-mindedly drooling even if I was playing my guitar.

I got screwed out of all that free love stuff. In the 60's and 70's I was a member of the establishment. Captain of a state patrol vessel, married, two kids.Hell, I was even a republican then! really, I was. Later on in the early 80's at a festival,I had a good looking woman approach me, wanted to take me home. I said."I cant do that, I'm married." she said "I dont want to buy you..I just want to borrow you for the weekend!" no kidding!

Kendall: does your confessing that you were once a republican, and refused the advances of the "good looking woman" at the festival mean that you think republicans are more virtuous than democrats? Excuse the thread creep, but could not resist. DougR

No, sorry, when that happened I was a democrat. I inherited my integrity from my Mother (republican) and my liberal attitude from my father (Democrat)..my father he was orange and me mother she was green..

You never did answer me when I asked you, if the price of gas is due to the govt. regulations on clean air, why is the price of natural gas going to be double this winter?

Sorry Kendall, I guess I didn't see that posting. Neither did I know the price of natural gas is going to double this winter. I have read, however, that fuel oil will be in short supply and that will be caused by all the refineries concentrating on processing gasoline for our cars rather than fuel oil for furnaces. Just what I've read, of course. We will both probably be soundly trounced on for using this Theread to communicate personally. :>) DougR

I think this thread is of general interest. We all drive cars, and we all heat our houses. If I were inclined to jump on you, I'd use the PM

Actually, what I heard on some talk radio was that the oil companies send the product over seas to create a false shortage here in the States.

I'm new around Mudcat and this is the first indication I've seen that Kendall's in Maine. A lot of us Mainahs have gone back to heatin' with wood.

As the old fart who started the thread, I don't mind a brief digression, but to get back to sex and folksingers, I'd like to know if Kendall knows the words to the story about the lobstahman who discovered a lost dory while he was haulin' traps.

I only know it as a story, is it also a song?

I only know it as a story also. Good yarn, too. I was just mimicking the frequent request for lyrics. Don't send them, for God's sake.

Well, Downeast Bob, what's the story? Us guys out in the desert might learn something from it! DougR

It's a longish story, beloved by Maine storytellers, but it doesn't work well in print. If you haven't spent any time in Maine, you might not even think it was funny. I just kind of mentioned it to see if Kendall was the same Kendall who tells that kind of tale. Must be.

Being a rapturously happily married kinda guy, I've no complaints...being a folksinger has never impacted on my love-life ;-)

Kendall -- Yes, it must have been from Alan Bemis. I thought that's where I heard it, but I wasn't sure.
