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.

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.

Wesley - I presume you can tix at the door? Did they recently rename the hall, in honor, perhaps, of the twins' Dad?

If my wife and I can make it, I will bring a CD. Thanks!

The Livingston Taylor concert is this Friday night the 22nd. The doors open at 6:30 and it's general admission. Tickets are $15.00 through the church at 817-336-7277. The location is First United Methodist Church of Ft Worth located at 800 West 5th St in downtown Ft Worth. It's at the corner of Henderson and 5th Street. 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.

I was thinking of staying home tonight, but I guess I can put in a little time there. I'm as worried about keeping myself out of trouble as I am about Branwen. I'll miss you folks.

Jed, did I do something to offend you? Are you avoiding me? (G)

I won't be able to make it either. We have a big show this Friday night opening for Livingston Taylor { shameless plug } that I need to prepare for. If the bouzouki player shows up please make him feel welcome and tell him I'll see him there the next time. Take care.

I am very sorry to say, y'all that I will not be able to make the session tonight. In fact, none of the Eammons Kitchen folks will be ble to make it out.

We've had a very busy schedule of late, and we just cannot manage the jam tonight. 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.

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

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!

Jed, I am so glad I didn't go and hitch a ride with you!

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!

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: 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!

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....

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.

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.
