New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks

Subject: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: JedMarum Date: 27 Jul 00 - 10:39 AM I expect this to be a short lived thread, but I know there are a few Mudcatters out there wanting to know about good sessions in the area. I attended a session last night at The Bull and Bush (2300 Montgomery in Fort Worth - 817 731 9206). The sessionis less then a month old, from what I can tell, and is an open format of Celtic 'sing songs' (as they call it) Jigs and Reels, and eventually just about anything. It is run by a pair of brothers and their friends, good players, knowledgable, fun loving and very freindly. The pub has a pretty loyal following of mixed ages from the area University (TCU) crowd - and the crowd gets involved, singing, listening, dancing ... great folks, great craic ... Those of you in the area looking for a good session need to check it out. They start about 8PM and a good group was still going when I left at midnight. I work pretty often on Wed, so won't be able to make it a regular night, but I hope y'all check it out (and if ya do, let me know, maybe I can adjust my schedule). Great place!! |

Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Áine Date: 27 Jul 00 - 11:22 AM Thanks, Jed! This is great news for the DFW area. And I might even be able to get over to this session some time. I'd like some more information about what was sung and played at the session, though. I'll send you a PM. -- Áine |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Wesley S Date: 27 Jul 00 - 11:26 AM Dang - I live about 2 miles from the Bull and Bush and I just sat home last night and watched a movie. Jed - you better let me know the next time you're there or you won't get the free Guinness { or whatever } I'm now offering. Are any of these brothers from Eammons Kitchen or Brothers Three?? Keep us informed. PS - You might want to circle your calender for Friday Sept 22. My group gets to do a short opening set for Livingston Taylor here in Ft Worth. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Áine Date: 27 Jul 00 - 11:31 AM Hey y'all -- Do I see some potential for a DFW Mudcatter get together here, or what? ;-) -- Áine |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Wesley S Date: 27 Jul 00 - 11:43 AM I'm up for it - just name the time or place. And that Guinness { or whatever } offer is good for you too Aine { sorry I missed your post or you would have gotten it earlier }. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Áine Date: 27 Jul 00 - 12:14 PM You're on for the Guinness, Wesley!! ;-) -- Áine |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Branwen23 Date: 28 Jul 00 - 02:21 PM I usually work on Wed nights, also, but will try to make it out when i can.... i think i'm actually not working this next wed... sounds groovy... -Branwen- |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Terry Allan Hall Date: 29 Jul 00 - 10:26 AM I'll certainly get down there next time I have a Wednesday night free! |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: JedMarum Date: 08 Aug 00 - 08:48 AM OK - this Wed; Aug 9 ... come on out to the pub, and bring your ax and/or your voice! It gets going about 7:30 or 8:00 and they were still going string when I left at midnight last time. Good folks, good music, good drink! Addr and phone no are in the orignial thread. Please come on out! |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Jed at Work Date: 08 Aug 00 - 11:06 AM ... well, actually they were still going strong when I left at midnight. (once again I prove my typographic challenged nature)! |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Matt Woodbury/Mimosa Date: 08 Aug 00 - 11:14 AM I'm going to try to make this. I haven't done anything like this before, and would love you 'catters there to talk to me if you see me there. I'll bring my little dark purple harp, so you shouldn't have any trouble recognizing me. Mimosa |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Jed at Work Date: 08 Aug 00 - 11:29 AM OK - we'll be lookin' for you! And I promise you'll enjoy yorself! Now - any more Mudcatters comin'??? |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Branwen23 Date: 08 Aug 00 - 11:43 AM This Wed I work until 9 pm.... but if you say it's still going at midnight, I guess i could try to get over to Ft. Worth.... -Branwen- |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Jed at Work Date: 08 Aug 00 - 12:32 PM Yeah - we'll be goin late, fer sure!! As I said; they were going strong when I left at midnight last time! Please come on out. I am sure we'll have a few of the Eammons Kitchen folks there too ... |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Wesley S Date: 08 Aug 00 - 12:43 PM I should be able to make it. But it will have to be on the early side. My wife won't be there - second hand smoke isn't the best thing for a pregnant woman. I'll be the chubby guy with glasses and a pony tail. Looking forward to it. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Áine Date: 09 Aug 00 - 08:42 AM Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it this week (dang, dang, and double dang!). I'm looking forward to hearing all about it tomorrow, though, so everybody take copious notes! ;-) And if somebody can remember to bring along a camera, we could even put the Yee-haw Texas Mudcatter faces in the special events section on the Mudcat Resources page. So y'all remember to wear your Stetsons, snakeskin boots and armadillo t-shirts, OK? -- Áine |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Wesley S Date: 09 Aug 00 - 08:48 AM Only if you agree to bring the arrangement to Planxy Armadillo next week. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Jed at Work Date: 09 Aug 00 - 11:47 AM I'll bring a camera. We'll get some Mudcatter pics! |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Bert Date: 09 Aug 00 - 11:51 AM And don't forget to call in to MUDCAT RADIO |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Áine Date: 09 Aug 00 - 12:06 PM And I hope you'll all say a 'Sláinte!' for me while you're at it! -- Áine (who's in a serious pout now 'cuz she can't come tonight...) |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Jed at Work Date: 09 Aug 00 - 12:14 PM bert - I was going to talk to the folks at the session about calling in to the radio show (like we did for a while from the Quill). But tonight they start at 7;30, and in Celtic time that means 8 or 8:30 and that's also Central time zone. So in short, I'd have to convince the session folks to get there pretty early. Still I intended to float the idea tonight, and see if we could get a quorum together for two weeks from tonight. Wadda ya think? Maybe then we could get Aine to show!!!
|
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Branwen23 Date: 09 Aug 00 - 09:07 PM not going to be able to make it this week, I'm afraid... Had a late rehearsal last night, and I need my beauty sleep. Maybe next week... -Branwen- |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: JedMarum Date: 10 Aug 00 - 09:20 AM Just a quick update on the evenig's hap'nin's - we did have a "Mudcatter event" at Ye Old Bull and Bush (no relation to the Georges, I assure you) in Fort Worth last night. Wesley S and Mimosa joined Guinness Chick (frequent Mudcat visitor, rare poster) and me at the pub's session. We will have photos available very soon. The session was a bit off last night, a bit loud, a bit unfocused at times - but it was fun never-the-less. Wesley brought along his exquistite mandolin (I forgot the maker's name, sorry) and Mimos brought his unusually shaped, lovely sounding 20 string harp. Both played along on whatever tune was called, and both added quite a bit to the musicianship. Mimosa led some beautiful renditions of Black is the Color, Danny Boy, and others. He is a truly well trained, gifted singer and harpist. We need you Áine and Branwen23 - two weeks from lst night, we'll try again. If we can figure out how to get there at 6:30, we can plan a call into Mudcat Radio. One of these Weds, we need to get us all there at once! Any more, I'll get pics posted ASAP, and send some into the Mudcat Resource page. |

Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Wesley S Date: 10 Aug 00 - 04:28 PM I had a great time last night as well. It was the first Irish session I've had a chance to sit it on so I was not sure what to expect but it looked like everyone had a good time. I was a bit concerned that there would be a lot of very trad minded folks there and that my chops wouldn't be up to the task as I'm still rather new to the mandolin. I learned a lot - it was good for me. Next time I'll be prepared with a couple of songs. Mimosa was indead a pleasure to hear - quite a talent with a great voice. I hope we all get together again. By the way my mandolin is from Weber - the Bridger model. It's made by the same folks who used to make Flatiron mandolins in Montana. And whoever it was that bought a round of drinks for the musicians - thanks a lot. Jed - I'll PM you with a couple of ideas today or tomorrow. It's been a zoo today at work or I would have posted sooner. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: JedMarum Date: 10 Aug 00 - 05:04 PM Thanks for posting the mandolin info, Wesley. That was a fine instrument and I look forward to hearing moe of you playing it! Likewise for Mimosa and his harp. Last night was a bit looser then the last one I went to ... I like a loose crowd, but I like to see the music flow PDQ with little breathing room in between! But we're new at it ... so it'll take time to adjust. We need to figure out how to get in early and catch Bert, Max and MaryMac on Mudcat radio. See you soon - and be sure to keep me informed about your upcoming show with Liv Taylor. I'd love to be there,a nd want to be sure to keep my calendar clear, if possible. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Wesley S Date: 10 Aug 00 - 05:29 PM I left that part out of the PM I sent you but I know it will be on Friday Sept 22nd in downtown Ft Worth. I think the tickets will be about $15.00. You'll need to bring a copy of a tape that we can give to the promoter of this show so he'll hire you sometime. I was checking some old posts and found out that Mimosa has his own CD out ! We'll need to twist his arm to bring some to the next session. Take care - Wesley Smith |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Branwen23 Date: 10 Aug 00 - 05:35 PM I work in retail and when I close the store, i work until nine.... one of these days, i'll make it... -Branwen- |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Wesley S Date: 10 Aug 00 - 05:59 PM Branwen - Been there - done that. I'm SO glad to out of retail. I've got a "normal" job now. No nights, no holidays, no weekends. I'd forgotten what it was like to be off on a holiday like the 4th of July. You have my sympathies. We'll keep a space open for you. Hope to see and meet you then. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Áine Date: 10 Aug 00 - 06:12 PM I'm so glad that some of you were able to get together and it sounds like everyone had a great time. Can't wait to hear more 'Texas session' stories. But, to tell y'all the truth, all this sounds way over my head -- too professional, if ya know what I mean. I think I'll be content with just hearing about it. Wouldn't want to be the bump on the session 'log' so to speak. -- Áine |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: DougR Date: 10 Aug 00 - 09:58 PM Jed: Somehow I knew you started this thread. When you coming back out out way? DougR |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Matt Woodbury/Mimosa Date: 11 Aug 00 - 11:35 AM Aine, we were all asking about you and hoping you'd show some time. Please don't stay away. I always bring the CDs with me wherever I go. I had them in my case. Doew this only happen every other week, so the next one's 8/23? Mimosa |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Jed at Work Date: 11 Aug 00 - 12:35 PM Yep, mimosa; next one's 8/23. Doug - I haven't made any plans yet, to get back to AZ. I will be making the long range plans soon, though - it seem likely that early next spring I'll get back there. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Lonesome EJ Date: 11 Aug 00 - 12:41 PM It so happens my wife and I will be in FtWorth on August 23 for a Radioshack Showcase. I haven't seen our events schedule yet, but maybe we can get to the Bull and Bush. Anyone going? Shall I have Lynne bring her kazoo? |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Jed at Work Date: 11 Aug 00 - 12:50 PM LEJ - You need get yer selves out to the Bull and Bush for the session; kazoos, singers, pickers, grinners, listners, drinkers, tea-totalers ... all are welcome! Let's stay in touch closer to the date. We'll figure out how to get you there and back! |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Branwen23 Date: 11 Aug 00 - 12:58 PM Aine... I know what you mean about it sounding too professional... I was invited to a "every other wednesday" session at the Barnes and Noble in Arlington once... I thought it sounded weird to begin with, having it in a bookstore and all, but I showed up anyway... My fears were realized... A bunch of people I didn't know, and these people showed up with music stands and sheet music... I was completely out of my element. Somehow, though, I don't see that happening so much with this crowd... I do feel a little of your nervousness, though. I think I'll try to show up at least once just to see how it goes. I'm sure everyone would love it if you came, alos. I know I would. -Branwen-
|
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Branwen23 Date: 11 Aug 00 - 12:59 PM Sorry, that should be "I'm sure everyone would love it if you came, ALSO" |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Jed at Work Date: 11 Aug 00 - 01:04 PM ... by the way, this is not a professional environment by any stretch! It is a loosely organized fun atmosphere ... there are a ot of folks just sitting in, some sing, some just listen, some play, some play sometimes .... very few know the songs the song leader is playing ... it is a fun crowd - NOT a professional crowd. I promise you anyone will feel welcome, even just to sit and listen. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Áine Date: 11 Aug 00 - 01:04 PM Sorry about sounding like a whiney titty baby, y'all. But Branwen expressed my nervousness exactly as I'm feeling it. But seeing's how Jed says that "kazoos, singers, pickers, grinners, listeners, drinkers, (and) tea-totalers" are welcome -- well, I guess I just have to show up with my kazoo and potato whistle, don't ya know! ;-) And I have to see LEJ and get one of Mimosa's CDs, too. If Branwen promises to keep me company in the corner (ha!), I'll do my best to be there on the 23th. And Jed, I want to hear your 'under the shady tree with the Whippets' song, OK? -- Áine |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Jed at Work Date: 11 Aug 00 - 02:10 PM Yeah! If we add Branwen, Áine, LEJ to the mix, we have oursleves a real Mudcat Hap'nin' I'm looking forward to it! I hope to have pics posted of this week's session by Monday night. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Wesley S Date: 11 Aug 00 - 02:29 PM Aine and Branwen23 - Let me echo what Jed said that this is a loose comfortable session. I was really worried that it was going to be run by a bunch of trad experts and that there would be a lot of rules ect. It was not that at all. No one will force you to get up and sing. If you just want to sit over in the corner, play chess and sing along on the occasional chorus you'll fit in also. It was a no pressure atmosphere. And besides you already know some of the folks that will be there. You just haven't met them yet. Hope to see you there. Lonesome EJ - I'm very local to the Bull and Bush. Feel free to PM me at wsmith@lokeyiron.com. I'll be able to give you directions if you let me know where you're staying. Or perhaps pick you up if you don't have a car. I could get you there but I'll be leaving early. Let me know. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Lonesome EJ Date: 11 Aug 00 - 02:42 PM We'll be at the Radisson Plaza,815 Main in Ft Worth. There will probably be some kind of Radioshack dinner that night,but we could grab a taxi over afterwards. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Branwen23 Date: 11 Aug 00 - 03:08 PM ok... I'll try and make it on the 23rd, also, but I won't be able to get there until probably about 9:30.... -Branwen- |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: JedMarum Date: 11 Aug 00 - 10:01 PM LEJ - ya might hafta bring that Radio Shack crowd with ya! ;-) Branwen we promise not to have any fun before you get there - well, maybe just a little bit ... Now, let's get Bert to join us. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: JedMarum Date: 15 Aug 00 - 02:01 AM Well, it's almost still Monday night in Dallas ... I almost made it with the posting of pics from the Mudcatter's gathering in Fort Worth by the promised date. The link is here and it will take you to the Eammon's Kitchen (EK) website where pics are posted from our last Wed night gathering in Fort Worth. We hope to get an even greater turn out next session on Wed Aug 23 ... even more pics, and maybe we can even get a quorum in early enough to give Max, Bert and Mary a call! I hope I spelled all the names right. Please let me know if you see any errors. Been watching the Dems Convention tonight, and started this pic posting effort a bit too late! |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Áine Date: 15 Aug 00 - 08:34 AM Wow! What a great looking bunch! Thanks so much for posting the pics, Jed. Did you use a digital camera? I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can make it next Wednesday. I do need directions, though. Can anyone tell me the way to get to the YOBB from Arlington (near 360 and Ye Olde Turnpike)? -- Áine |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: JedMarum Date: 15 Aug 00 - 08:42 AM Well, I hope someone with better directions will jump in and correct me if I give you the long way to go, BUT; it seems simple enough to me. You take 360 to I30 (right near 6 Flags) and turn West on 30. Go through Fort Worth (there's a bit on construction there) and shortly after you go through town there is an exit for the University, and at the same exit there is one for Montgomery. Take the Montgomery exit, turn right (North) on Montgomery and YOBB is two block or so on your left. There's parking available along the street behind it or in the empty parking lots of the daytime businesses surrounding it. It's easy to find! I hope we'll see you there! |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: JedMarum Date: 15 Aug 00 - 09:20 AM OK - I have fixed the pic page so it loads faster for first time visitors. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: GUEST,Guinnesschik Date: 16 Aug 00 - 08:20 AM Nick and Tyra are wonderful hosts, and it's a very laid back atmosphere. (Great Big Grin)And the Guinness flowed like water. One of the few places where they can construct mixed drinks from two or more types of beer. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Jed at Work Date: 16 Aug 00 - 10:51 AM chuckle - I guess that's a definate advantage, Guinnesschik! I had a few of of our hosts, as well ... I guess I shouldda put 'em up! We'll see how we do after next week's gathering. We'll have more Mudcatter pics to post - and hopefully, more tales to tell! Wed August 23 - 7:30 PM at Ye Old Bull and Bush ... we need all Mudcatters in the area to attend! We won't make ya sing or play or dance - but I suspect you'll want to some of one of those. I'll buy a guinness (or drink of your choice) for every Mudcatter who shows up! And - at 7:50 we could call in to Mudcat radio and say hello to Max, Bert and MaryMac. Maybe even sing 'em a song, (if they let us). Wadda ya think? |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: guinnesschik Date: 16 Aug 00 - 10:59 AM I'll sing, play, or gulp guinness out loud! |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: guinnesschik Date: 17 Aug 00 - 09:35 AM Don't forget Wednesday, August 23rd at Ye Olde Bull And Bush. Montgomery Street in Fort Worth. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Jed at Work Date: 17 Aug 00 - 12:23 PM I sent a note to Max about planning a call to the radio show during the Wed session. I hope to hear back soon, but I know it may be late for us to get it organized and our loose collection of Mudcatters may be fun at the pub, but may not make sense on the radio! Still, call or no, we'll have a great Mudcat gathering at YOBB and I look forward to seeing y'all. I'll be out of town for a few days - I hope to get some feedback about next Wed on Monday. See ya! |

Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Jed at Work Date: 21 Aug 00 - 12:35 PM OK - two more days to the YOBB/Mudcat Gathering! We hope to see y'all there. I'll bring a camera, again for photos. I haven'theard from Max, so I don't believe it will be practical to arrange a call to the radio show, since they'll probably finish before we get rolling. But maybe we can arrange that some other time.
So I'm hoping to see: |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: guinnesschik Date: 21 Aug 00 - 10:47 PM Well, you know I'll be there. I'll have Nick tap a new keg of Guinness, and if you'l bring the banjo, I'll have the fiddle.....and everyone'll have to sing really really loud to be heard over us. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: JedMarum Date: 22 Aug 00 - 07:34 PM refresh - jes' ta keep it on the top of yer mind!! See ya'll there! |

|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Matt Woodbury/Mimosa Date: 23 Aug 00 - 09:45 AM What time are we aiming for tonight? Mimosa |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: JedMarum Date: 23 Aug 00 - 10:43 AM I'll be there between 7:30 and 8. The music usually gets going by 8. See you there. Has anyone heard from LEJ?? Is he going to be in town, and be able to make it? |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Wesley S Date: 23 Aug 00 - 01:51 PM I plan to make it. I'm aiming at 7:30. Have mando - will travel |
|

Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Branwen23 Date: 23 Aug 00 - 08:27 PM leaving early... |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: JedMarum Date: 24 Aug 00 - 09:56 AM YO! We had a Mudcat gatherinG!! Cool stuff. We had, in order of arrival time: WesleyS Jed Guinnesschik Mimosa Branwen Lonesome EJ and Mrs LEJ (sorry didn't catch her Mudcat name) And we had a bit of fun! Thanks LEJ and Mrs LEJ for making the effort to get away from your conference. I know we all enjoyed meeting you! I hope the rest of your DFW trip goes well! Wesley we still need to get you leading a song one o' these days, but enjoyed the mandolin! Maybe we need to get started earlier, too! Mimosa - once again; beautiful harp and singing! Sorry about all those odd key choices our guitar players make at the drop of a capo - but you seem to manage OK anyway! Branwen, what a treat! Where've you been hiding? Great voice, wonderful heart and enthusiasm, cute as hell, and just great fun to be around. You need to be at all DFW Mudcat and YOBB gatherings! And Guinnesschic, my old friend and music partner; as always fine job! Still can't tell where the Celtic ends and the Bluegrass starts - but we'll have to keep experimenting. Maybe we'll figure it out! Now if we could just get the time between tunes down to less then 20 seconds we'd be doin' allright! Sorry no pics, last night. I grabbed my camera on the way out the door only to find it was broken. Sorry - we'll have to try agian next time (two weeks). Hope to see y'all there! |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Wesley S Date: 24 Aug 00 - 10:19 AM I'd like to echo all the things that Jed had to say. Branwen has a great voice. She's a ittle to shy with it - we all hope to hear more of it in the future. And it was a real treat to meet Mr and Mrs Lonesome EJ. It's so nice to be able to put faces with these "voices" we read on the Mudcat. Thanks to everyone who attended. I'm looking forward to the next one. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Mbo Date: 24 Aug 00 - 10:22 AM I agree, I've heard Branwen on several occasions in Hearme, and she receives an official "Branwen RULES!" from me. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Branwen23 Date: 24 Aug 00 - 02:16 PM *blush* ok, guys, you'd better watch it or you'll give me an ego... I had a great time last night. the atmosphere was wonderful, the people were great, and the music sounded wonderful. I'll definitely be back. -Branwen-
|
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Wesley S Date: 24 Aug 00 - 02:22 PM Branwen - Skip the ego - you'll do better without it. You CAN have confidence that you have a wonderful voice. And we'll all be lucky if we get to hear more of it. Thanks for coming last night. |
|

Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Branwen23 Date: 24 Aug 00 - 02:26 PM no thanks are necessary... I had a blast! it was great to get to meet everyon and put faces with names.... -Branwen- |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: guinnesschik Date: 24 Aug 00 - 04:06 PM Yup, gotta say, a blast was had by all. Jed's right, however, and we REALLY need to cut the time between songs. Too much ground to cover! Branwen, YOU ROCK! I consider the jam sessions the best free therapy in the universe. We may have to move it to a bigger place! (Nick: hint, hint.) It's truly a pleasure to get to meet the mudcatters face-to-face. Next session (dun-dun-DUHN!)Wesley sings! |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Lonesome EJ Date: 26 Aug 00 - 08:59 PM Thanks to all the Texas Mudcatters for making us feel at home at Ye Olde Bull and Bush. It was standing room only at Nick's place,which resembles a small British Pub,and Nick your host originally hails from Nottingham. It was great to walk in the door and see a big round wooden table surrounded by folks drinking beer and playing instruments- closest thing to the Brazen Head in Dublin I've come to lately. Music ranged from some beautiful Irish tunes performed solo by Mimosa on his lap harp,to Jed's Civil War songs,and the whole crowd chiming in on House of the Rising Sun. Thanks also to Jed for his CD,which Lynne and I are enjoying very much. I encourage ALL mudcatters to contact Jed for a copy; you will not be sorry. |

Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Lonesome EJ Date: 26 Aug 00 - 09:02 PM Almost forgot....Wesley,Lynne wanted me to ask if your wife had given birth yet. Please keep us posted on the upcoming additions(Mrs Wesley's going to have twins)! |

Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Branwen23 Date: 04 Sep 00 - 11:11 PM well, groovy, then... it'll be a happy party.... -Branwen- |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: JedMarum Date: 05 Sep 00 - 01:13 AM YEAH!!! I'm there, kids! Lookin' forward to it! But bringin' less instruments this time. I have been a man with too many choices the last couple of nights there! |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Áine Date: 05 Sep 00 - 09:59 PM I sure wish I could make it tomorrow; but, I'm sure you guys will have enough fun without me (hahahaha). BTW -- If you all could put the word out that the Gaelic League is looking for a ceili band for our annual Irish language immersion weekend in January, I'd appreciate it. It would be a one night gig on a Saturday night; but the band is always welcome for the weekend and to attend the language and culture classes. Let me know by email (doireanne@yahoo.com) or personal message if you hear anything, and I'll provide further details to any interested parties. I'm not sure of the date yet, but I should know in the next day or two. And if any of you want to come, that'd be lovely, too! I'll be thinking of you all tomorrow night -- Be safe and have a blast! -- Aine |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Fortunato Date: 05 Sep 00 - 10:20 PM Jed et al, I'll be in Arlington Texas on the 13th, I'll have a car but no guitar. Can someone give me directions from Arlington to your session at the Bull and Bush? I'd love to fall by and join in the music. Fantastic luck it's on the one night I'm in town. Reel me in, Texans, I'm hooked! Regards Fortunato (Chance Shiver) |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: guinnesschik Date: 06 Sep 00 - 09:15 AM Fortunato: Where in Arlington? From I-30, go West (young man. sorry, couldn't resist) into Fort Worth. There's quite a bit of construction, but just stay on I-30. The signs are all highly visible. Pass downtown, and take the Montgomery St Exit to the right. You'll be headin' in a Northerly direction. Go about 4 or 5 blocks, and Ye Olde Bull And Bush is on the left side of the street, by the Vending Nut Company, directly across from the Fort Worth Credit Union. Hope to see ya' there! |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: JedMarum Date: 06 Sep 00 - 10:19 AM Unfortunately, the YOBB session is every other week, and the 13th is an off week. But, never fear, we'll see what we can do about arranging a special session for a travelling Mudcatter! By the way, the place really is easy to find, and guinnesschik's directions are perfect! |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Fortunato Date: 06 Sep 00 - 01:06 PM Guinesschik! Thanks for the directions. I owe you a Guiness payable on the 13th or as soon thereafter as possible! No reason why we couldn't show up on an off week, eh? Jed, I'd love to get togther any way we could. I'll be returning in the future and perhaps I'll catch the right week. But For the 13th a special session sounds lovely. How might it work? Thanks! Fortunato (Chance Shiver) |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Wesley S Date: 06 Sep 00 - 01:14 PM By the way if I can make it next week I have a spare guitar I could bring. It's a D sized Alvarez. Plays nice - good action , and it can take a beating if need be. If you promise not to do a Peter Townsend I'll bring it along. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Fortunato Date: 06 Sep 00 - 01:24 PM Wesley S, I would greatly appreciate that, mighty thoughtful of you, sir. I'd treat it like a lady. Many thanks, Chance |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Wesley S Date: 06 Sep 00 - 01:42 PM Considering how some men treat women it's fine with me if you just treat it like a guitar. We're looking forward to meeting you. You've probablly said so before in other threads but what kind of music to you like to play?? What's your "bag"? |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Fortunato Date: 06 Sep 00 - 02:41 PM Wesley S. Generally I play Old Timey or Early Country and Country Blues. But depending on the audience or the company I'm keeping I slip easily into Jump Blues, Swing, and Rockabilly. I'll sing a Hank Williams or a Jimmie Rodgers tune if given half a chance. I don't presume to emulate him, but I seem to collect the same kind of tunes Doc Watson prefers, or Norman Blake maybe. How about you? Chance
|
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Fortunato Date: 06 Sep 00 - 02:48 PM Guinesschik, Sorry, I didn't answer your question, I'll be staying at the Springhill Suites on Lamar Blvd, near the ball park, so I-30 is only blocks away. Your directions are great. Thanks, again, Chance |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Wesley S Date: 06 Sep 00 - 04:26 PM Fortunato - So what am I into?? My idea of Heaven would be a big front porch that I could steal licks all day from Mississippi John Hurt, Doc Watson and Norman Blake. And Pete and Mike Seeger would drop by every so often to share some songs. Then at night there would be a big Ceili somewhere where I would be able to play my mandolin and bouzouki as well as Andy Irvine. By the way across from the Ballpark where you'll be staying is a "Guitar Center". Not the best selection of guitars in the world but you'll be able to pick a little while you're there. Mostly Martins, Taylors, Gibsons, Guilds, and some good Larrivee's. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Matt Woodbury/Mimosa Date: 06 Sep 00 - 05:28 PM Gee. Here I thought I'd figured out a way to do my solo concert in Bedford September 13 without missing the YOBB sessions, and y'all have decided to have one that night, too. Maybe I'll find a way to swing by really late. Mimosa |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: JedMarum Date: 06 Sep 00 - 07:09 PM We might need to meet at Mimosa's show in Bedford, and then swing on over to YOBB. Make a night of it! Is your show a public appearance, Mimosa? If so, times, directions, admission cost, and a little about the venue would be appreciated? Mayeb we can get a Mudcat quorum there for you. We'll do our best not to embarass you! Or if that won't work, we'll keep a chair open for you. Either way. Just let us know. |

Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Áine Date: 07 Sep 00 - 09:22 AM I hope you all had a great time last night! Did anybody happen to mention that I'm looking for a ceili band for a gig in January? Barring that, does anyone know how to contact any of the members in Lost Tribe? They've played our ceili several times, and we love 'em. But, I haven't been able to find my contact numbers though. I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance, Aine |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: JedMarum Date: 07 Sep 00 - 09:55 AM Aine - Guinnesschik suggested a group she knew that may be appropriate. Maybe she can give you a conatct name. Chance - I gather the Bedofrd show isn't too far from where you'll be. We;ll get some directions going here shortly. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: guinnesschik Date: 07 Sep 00 - 10:45 AM Aine, got to the SCMA Ceili page...I'm not sure what the http:// is, but I'll get back. Also, another good band, locally, is Jigsaw. They used to be Waifs and Strays, and they're really good. I'll come back with the info. |

Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: guinnesschik Date: 07 Sep 00 - 10:53 AM Okay, Aine, go to www.scmatx.org/main/htm This has a list of Texas performers and a description of what they do. Lost Tribe is on the list, and their contact info. Slainte! |

I'll be trying to get a hold of Betsy; but if you and Jed could keep the word out at the session there, I'd greatly appreciate it. And I do have dates for the weekend now. Jan. 19 to 21, Friday thru Sunday noon. And of course, I'd love to see y'all there -- we always have a great time. -- Áine |

Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Jed at Work Date: 12 Sep 00 - 01:25 PM OK - I suggest meet at Mimosa's concert in Bedford at 7:30 (directions, and info above) and then head over to YOBB. I believe there were a few who couldn't make it early anyway - but if we get to YOBB at 10 we can jam 'til closing! Fortunato - you will have a car?? |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Fortunato Date: 12 Sep 00 - 02:10 PM Yes Jed I'll have a car. Ok, meet you at Mimosa's concert at 7:30. I'll have an 8:30 meeting on Thursday so I can't jam ALL NIGHT, but we'll give it a go. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: guinnesschik Date: 12 Sep 00 - 05:57 PM Durn! Well, ya'll have fun. Himself has suggested I stay home and be a real wife and mother for an evening. |

Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: JedMarum Date: 12 Sep 00 - 11:40 PM OK ... we'll meet at Mimosa's show. It's a benefit for the county so I'll bring an extra can of admission for ya, since you'll not likely get a chance to shop enroute! Wesley??? You'll be there?? And Branwen? can you make it to YOBB for about 10? We could jam for an hour or so, right? Maybe two? |

Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Fortunato Date: 13 Sep 00 - 09:08 AM Kyle? Are you there cousin? |

Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: guinnesschik Date: 13 Sep 00 - 09:33 AM Aw, you flatterer! (Is that a real word? 'Tis now.) You'll find plenty of good looking women at YOBB, but if you buy a guinness for another, be sure and let her know she's but a substitute for me! ;-) Ya'll have a great time! |

Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Fortunato Date: 13 Sep 00 - 09:43 AM As if anyone could substitute for you! Hope to see you next time. Regards Chance/Fortunato |

Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Wesley S Date: 13 Sep 00 - 11:06 AM If Bretta's energy holds out we'll both be at the harp concert but I doubt that we'll make it to the Bull and Bush. Her tolerence for smoke right now is nonexistent. But we're looking forward to seeing everyone. I'll have a chance to prove that Bretta is not a figment of my imagination. See you there. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Wesley S Date: 13 Sep 00 - 11:09 AM I forgot to mention that I met a guy at the Ft Worth guitar show last weekend that had just bought a bouzouki. He said that he plays a lot of celtic music finger-style on the guitar also. I told him about the B & B sessions and he was interested. He said he would try to make it next Wednesday. |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Branwen23 Date: 13 Sep 00 - 11:15 AM yes, i'll be there.... i'm actually going to try and make Mimosa's show, also. I get off work at five, and then have to run to Dallas to have my car looked at, but should be able to be in Bedford on time. See you there! -Branwen- |

Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Branwen23 Date: 14 Sep 00 - 01:03 AM ok... so where was Jed? I was solo tonight... Fortunato had no one to entertain him but me and Vince... who happened to be at YOBB... I expect some sort of explanation... We had fun anyway.... we did some a capella tunes... we drank some beer... it was fun. Of course, it would have been more fun with more people, and perhaps some musical accompaniment.... -Branwen- |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Jed at Work Date: 14 Sep 00 - 11:59 AM Well, Branwen, I can't imagine that Fortunato would complain about havin' you all to himself!! And I'm gald ya had a good time ... 'cause if the truth be told whilst y'all were partying I was havin' the nightmare from hell tryin' to find ya!!! I sometimes find my own stupidity hard to bear! I got the directions from above, crossed checked the tel no and the addr with the Excite driving directions, left a few minutes early, so I'd have time to reslove any 'wrong turn' issues and still get there in time. And sure enough, at 7:20 I arrived at the destination my directions sent me to ... trouble is is wasn't the right place!! Not to worry, I had time, and the tel no .... so I drove a few ever enlarging circles, still never found the place ... so at 7:30 I called ... gotta machine ... dove a bit more ... called again, got a fax-machine ... drove a bit more ... called again, spoke to a mna who seemed to know where I was, gave me a few pointers, but my cell phone cut out ... still I had enough to try again ... drove around and around and around ... ran outta gas, filled her up, called again ... got cut off again ... called Sprint and cancelled my service on the spot ... drove home! I was hovering in the neighborhood for almost 90 minutes ... I decided the gods of fortune had a better plan for me, elsewhere!! ;-) Sorry y'all. I really was lookin' forward to Matt's show, and meeting Fortunato, and all. Chuckle ... what a trip! |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Jed at Work Date: 14 Sep 00 - 12:02 PM I have to laugh; Fortunato came half way across the country to a strange city and found the place no probs ... and me, with best info technology can provide get lost in my own G*d-damn town!! chuckle ... it's kinda hard to believe! |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Branwen23 Date: 14 Sep 00 - 12:23 PM That's okay Jed... truth be told, I was starting to worry about you. I didn't even try to follow the directions on Excite.... when I asked it for driving directions instead of a map, it told me that the starting and ending addresses I'd entered did not exist. So I just called the number that Mimosa gave and got directions. Mimosa's show was great, beautiful harp and singing. He has such a great voice, and a great sense of humor. We were only able tostay for the first half, since neither Fortunato nor I had any idea of how to get to YOBB from Harps of Avalon, so Wesley led us out, and he had to go after the first half. But what I saw was wonderful; wish I could have stayed for the rest. At any rate, I'm glad to hear that you just had bad directions, Jed, and that you're safe and sound. We began to worry about you when ten-thirty rolled around and you still hadn't shown up at YOBB.... It was a quiet evening, Nick told us he didn't mind if we did a few tunes a capella, which we managed to do. Many thanks to Nick for his patience with us on an off week. He had no idea that anyone was planning on coming this week, and was very kind and accomodating. It was a good time, and we'll hope that when Fortunato comes back this way, he'll happen to be here on the right week for an all out jam session. I'll definitely see you all next week, though I may be arriving rather late... have to work late. See you! -Branwen- |

It's a fun jam, great folks, good music, and the best British-style pub Dallas/Fort Worth has to offer. If ya' ever get down this way, let us know! Jed, I am so glad I didn't go and hitch a ride with you! |
|
Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Jed at Work Date: 14 Sep 00 - 12:34 PM LOL, MBO - we'd love to have ya out here!! Just come on. But, don't ask me for directions!! Branwen I thought about just going to YOBB, but figured you'd be leaving Mat's show at 930 and wouldn'tget there 'til late, if indeed ya went at all ... I did well to go home, anyway - started work on a new tune, and have somethings I like form it, so maybe the gods of fortune were smiling on me, and not just torturing me! See ya next week. Fortunato I hope you'll get back our way soon! |

Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: GUEST,Fortunato Date: 14 Sep 00 - 10:46 PM Jed I understand, it took me nearly an hour to find that one little sign that said HARP. I passed it a least once, got directions from 25 people (and they say men don't ask) but I couldn't give up when you guys were all coming. Branwen and Wesley were great. Wesley hung out to make me feel at home and the Branwen took over. She made them turn off the juke and rounded up some 'volunteers'. and then she sang. good voice good tunes. good beer lovely company. I'm sorry you weren't there, Jed. I'll be back down next month, on the right wednesday I hope. Branwen, thanks again, you made me feel welcome, now of course I miss you, so I'll be back soon. chance/fortunato |

Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Branwen23 Date: 14 Sep 00 - 11:08 PM It actually turned out to be a great time.

I hate to miss, but I know y'all will have a hell of a time anyway and we'll be back at the next one. ... and remember, the bar staff says only twice for Roddy Mc Corely! |

The fact that the concert is being held in Wesley Hall is strictly a coincidence. Our group The Crossroad Singers will open the show. Another singer will follow and then Livingston Taylor will perform. Jed if you make it to the show please bring a CD and I'll make sure the promoter gets a copy. He's looking for local acts to open shows and he has some good ones coming up. If other Mudcatters need any more details feel free to PM me. |

Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Wesley S Date: 21 Sep 00 - 09:49 AM Yes you can get tickets at the door but I think they're 3 bucks extra. I'm not sure if you can reserve them at the lower price if you call early but I think you can get them held at a "will call". Wesley Hall is named after the founder of Methodism John Wesley. When I first started attending there I thought it was odd that everyone remembered my name so well. |

Subject: RE: New Session for Dallas/Ft Worth Folks From: Matt Woodbury/Mimosa Date: 21 Sep 00 - 10:53 AM Jed, I get tickled every time I look at the first post on this thread and see "I expect this to be a short lived thread..."
We had a really nice time last evening, and Branwen got to sing lots and sight read in public. Pretty impressive. I did miss the rest of the 'Catters, though.
Does anyone know how to do a blue clicky and start a new thread? This one's getting kind of long. Mimosa |
