Hi Spaw, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that that picture is awful. The photograher stuck the camera right in my face and I gave her a real funny look. Of course THAT'S the one they print.

That's good story Max but I must say that the picture of Bert's eyeball is NOT a highlight!!! Hopefully we pick up a few at the bar for the show because of it. Poor hesperis seems to have become "Orillia" but outside of that, its a fine job........well, except for Bert's eyeball.

Here is the newspaper article that went into our county newspaper.

Here is one that is 194K.

Here is one that I think is readable, but its 563K.

Bert- Thanks. I thought so. I was hoping the time zones might help: you know, leave here at 6 pm, drive like hell, and be back at work before the show started, our time. :) Oh, well. Thanks, BlueJay

Bert--thanks for the link to a map. It would be about 144 miles one way and unfortunately, I can't stay overnight as I am due back to my business. But, that is closing in a few more weeks so if this occurs again, I'll just have to make a mini vacation and see things for myself.

Nice link!

Please post the exact address for the gig. After checking Maps.com, I may be able to make the drive. I'd love to meet you folks. Got some things to work out but would give it a try. Thanks in advance.

Well see anna dear, they actually try to get a crowd on Friday and Saturday and folk ain't exactly a big draw. Now if they draw a crowd of folky/bluesy nuts on Tuesday, it beats hell out of the 3 people that normally show up.

All kiddin' aside........Kill 'em Max!!!

Max, I wish you had changed the night to Friday or Saturday. I have to get up at 4:30 AM during the week and it makes it impossible to come out there. Boo! That would be such fun!!

Love, Annamill

It's my birthday on the 24th, so I'll definitely be there in spirit- or should it be the other way round? (Tobermory single malt). Good luck. Rob

Can't be with you in person Max, but I'll be there in Spirit!

Good luck with the show - if it's even half as good as our do in the Red Lion (Llanfair), you are guaranteed a great time!

Cheers,

Catrin

Will there be a terminal set up so patrons can see the Cat for themselves? And so you can pull up songs you are doing on the DT, for a singalong?

Thinking of doing it that way here sometime.

The fine folks downstairs at the pub downstairs have allowed us to take over for an evening. Next weeks radio show will be live from Iron Hill Brewery here in Mudcatville (West Chester, PA). That is, Tuesday, October 24. Its gonna be more like a concert than a radio show I suppose. Performers include Bert, Dick Greenhaus, Pete Peterson, Dick Swain, and me as well as perhaps a couple of special guests. We got the whole place wired (actually it's a wireless setup) to feed audio and video out to the world, just as Mudcat Radio is. It's a big deal for the future of live Mudcat events, so tell anyone and everyone you know within 100 miles of West Chester to show up. Those who can't make it, tune in. More later…
