Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: wysiwyg Date: 22 Apr 01 - 01:29 PM Mmmm! It's finally warm enough to melt the rest of the manure spread on the fields all winter! Pray it's a windy week, and warm.... to sweeten the porches for pickin'! (Thass OK, now I won't have to worry about the cat pee smell in the rug! *G*) Hardi can always pass around the church's incense pot. (WORRIED? Who's worried!?) Oh yeah, and I promised JenEllen we'd have a spanking session in honor of her birthday, in absentia. So who wants to stand (er, bend) in for her? Pix for next year's calendar??!! *G* OK! So who's coming!? ~S~ |

Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: annamill Date: 20 Apr 01 - 05:27 PM Getting close, Whizzy Wig! Exciting and scary, huh? I wish we could be there, but business calls. Just a few more days. Sounds like you'll have quite a turn out too. Remember to relax and have fun. Love, annamill |

Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: wysiwyg Date: 17 Apr 01 - 11:06 AM Well dang Mick, that sounds too good to miss! Peg, the Saturday Night service is my main musical involvement acoustically... so I have to be there Saturday evening and of course so does Hardi to conduct it. Anyone here for the Gathering who would like to join us either to attend or to sit in and rock the rafters is welcome. But some people, I am sure, will prefer to cosy up to the fireplace the short time we are gone doing the service, and that's fine too, of course. It just seemed like a great chance to sing with you... ya know? Seems to fit, somehow. But up to you, of course. As to material-- that service runs the gamut, and if it can be done acoustic or a capella, it'll work. Some of what we have just been doing is posted in the Lent thread; maybe that would give you an idea. I think we hit a new stride altogther with Palms of Victory, blues-style, Hardi singing like Tom Waits. Mmario, you shouldda been there for that one! ~Susan |

Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: MMario Date: 17 Apr 01 - 10:03 AM Episcopal - it's a saturday evening music service...very low key |

Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: Big Mick Date: 17 Apr 01 - 09:49 AM Can't be done, I am afraid. It is the Missus who has to work due to her supervisor being off. She is second in command. And Wee Ciara is singing that weekend at the Cathedral. Next time. Mick |

Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: wysiwyg Date: 12 Apr 01 - 09:16 AM Good idea. Ours has smoky heads hard to get at to clean. ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: MMario Date: 12 Apr 01 - 09:13 AM gee- letting little things like major religious holiday interfere with a mudgathering! tsk-tsk! Anyone coming that might bring along a boom box or something that would allow dubbing of cassette tapes? I know there will be at least two tapes of MudCat concerts there... |
|
Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: wysiwyg Date: 12 Apr 01 - 12:11 AM Refresh. It's all busyness now till after Sunday. Mark your calendar and e-mail me-- details Monday. ~S~ |

Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: wysiwyg Date: 07 Apr 01 - 12:32 AM SiCA, see the Help: Champlain Valley thread that I refreshed today. *G* And do not worry if your workshop timing does not work out. You WILL meet Mudcatters and I WILL be one of them, one way or another. In the meantime... don't forget Amos is there in your own backyard. Ask him about his song "Bring Down the Walls." It needs harmonies added. *G* Your voice is perfect for it. ~Susan in Pennsyltucky |

Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: Susan from California Date: 06 Apr 01 - 11:18 PM Any ideas on when in the summer you might do this kinda thing? I just applied for an intensive American History (Colonial Period) workshop in VA in August, & if I am going to drive that far (I'm a very reluctant flyer) I would like to swing through NY/NJ & PA... I don't know when I will hear about the workshop, but Susan, you will be one of the first people outside of my school to know! |

Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: Dharmabum Date: 06 Apr 01 - 11:22 AM I'm pretty sure I know the place you're speaking of. At least the general area. It is beautiful there. Ron. |

Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: wysiwyg Date: 05 Apr 01 - 10:14 PM The one somewhere within reach of 6 & 449, All Saints Church, Brookland... near where 449 has a Y. Any idea 'bout that? ~S~

Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: Dharmabum Date: 05 Apr 01 - 09:32 PM I wonder what cabin could we possibly be talking about? DB. |
|
Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: wysiwyg Date: 05 Apr 01 - 06:16 PM OK, I figured out the sleeping space. I can sleep eight or nine upstairs on beds and floors, and four or five more downstairs, plus we have the pop-up camper for several more if it is warm enough, plus unlimited tent space. BUT-- it IS cold up here, still, at the end of April. Tenters will need to really LIKE tenting. But we do have two very warm sleeping bags. *G* I need to know, if you are hoiping to come, what your sleeping needs would be. If you have physical problems that require a good bed, speak up! Last night we attended a function an hour away at a tiny jewel of a church that is part of our Northern Tier Convocation. The dinner was in the house that may once have been a parsonage. Now, it turns out, they not only use it for church functions, they host hunters in the hunting season and it is a PERFECT setting for a larger gathering at another time, with a HUGE wood-floored area for music PLUS a wonderful pickin' porch. It's in the middle of nowhere, so pretty. It even has a tiny churchyard cemetery for sitting and wondering about the stories of the people. It's not far from a certain Catter's cabin too. I think we could use it for free if we agreed to do our own cleanup and bed-changing, and gave them an informal concert. (They like me a lot.) I was nervous about sleeping space at our house and thought we should move to this location but I know now we will be fine. But NEXT year.... ~Susan |

Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: Matt_R Date: 03 Apr 01 - 06:25 PM Hehhehe...now I need some time to type up an email! And as of yesterday, I have the group shot of our whole 19-person strong ECU Newman contingent, including Father Tom! |

Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: wysiwyg Date: 03 Apr 01 - 06:18 PM MMario, can you bring a scanner too? Really. ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: MMario Date: 03 Apr 01 - 05:31 PM refresh - and of course - if anyone attending has the sheet music for one or more of the two thousand four hundred songs still missing tunes from the DT - feel free to bring it or a copy of it along. I'll have my laptop available for transcribing.
just thought I'd throw a nag in there for the heck of itlist of missing tunes available by e-mail or PM |

Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: GUEST,Matt_R Date: 02 Apr 01 - 10:16 AM Lol...well, I don't know if you'd call it "peak performance"! Most of the people weren't really interested in listening to music. And most of the stuff I play they don't know. But me and Nick sang "Arms Wide Open", while me and bestbud Ryan did our signature song, a harmony-laden version of "The Boxer". In the car, driving to his grandparents' house, R.E.M.'s "Man On The Moon" came on the radio, and he and I were singing our heads off along with it... |

Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: wysiwyg Date: 02 Apr 01 - 01:46 AM Dick, that woud be SO GREAT!!!!!!! Matt, I would love to share your report with the prayer chain. Would you like to write it to me in e-mail and I can send it around? And I just started a thread on peak performance moments-- was there music you did at the retreat you could share there? ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: Matt_R Date: 02 Apr 01 - 01:04 AM I have to give you the full report on the leadership retreat... |

Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: wysiwyg Date: 31 Mar 01 - 04:27 PM Wha hooooo!!!!! This is fine but are you aware that we will be letting the air out of your tires when you are not looking? *G*G* We were out at our favorite lunch spot yesterday. The place is usually nearly empty AND they have the BEST PIES and a laid back atmosphere. If things get too tight in our living room and we don't want to head for the church, they are all set to ply us with pie and coffee till they are done cleaning up after the dinner hour.... 11-ish was mentioned. ROUND UP! There are several people now helping me work this up, so we get Catters and local pickers participating. I do need for people who plan on coming to PLEASE E-MAIL ME so my helpers can work on details with me. Scroll up to a link to my e-mail and click on over to say howdy, OK? ~Susan |

Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: MarkS Date: 31 Mar 01 - 03:48 PM Hi Praise Right now it looks like my wife Carol and I will make it for at least one day. As we get a bit closer to the time I will try to arrange the caravan from the Lehigh Valley area per the other thread. This should be something to look forward to! Mark |

Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: wysiwyg Date: 30 Mar 01 - 10:12 PM Refresh for weekend Mudcatters. ~S~ |

Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: wysiwyg Date: 30 Mar 01 - 12:39 AM Aw Matt, I wanna go to THAT! TAKE YOUR INSTRUMENTS AND SOME TAPES TO SELL!!!! Start planning how you will get here for the gathering. You have a whole month to figure it out. I believe Dharmabum mentioned kidnapping you. Or wait for the summer one, and be the featured headliner. We will take up a collection for travel bucks. YES???? ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: Matt_R Date: 30 Mar 01 - 12:29 AM Well, I'll be headed off to the NC State Newman Center in Raleigh with my sis and buds, for a state-wide Newman Center leadership retreat tomorrow afternoon. Gonna have lots of fun! Gonna play mafia! And sing! And laugh! I've be thinking about yous guys. Have fun!!! --Matt |
|
Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: wysiwyg Date: 29 Mar 01 - 10:45 AM Plans here are continuing to move forward. Word will start going out tonight to let local players know about the All-Weekend Porch-Pickin' Party. I think we may have a bunch of new Mudcatters signed up as members before May 1! I hope someone brings a big box of Mudcat T-shirts! Orillians, I hope you are coming too. Let's see... how many local players HERE have to get into Mudcat for us to be your sister-city? *G* Challenge for new members anyone? *G* A Mudcat "cell" in every county... LOL! And, archery anyone? Too cold for canoeing. There is a clicky to my e-mail up in the first post FMI. Please let me know here or in e-mail if you are planning to come, and what you need to be comfortable here. ~Susan |

Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: wysiwyg Date: 28 Mar 01 - 11:09 PM OK, everyone, come on up... MarkS, that's great! Anyone coming witcha? Yes Jeff, your six year old is welcome. I dunno about other kids. They will be welcome too though. I will see what I can arrange from here... have one idea. Unless he hates girls. Tell ya what Spaw, MaryMac and I can check each other, OK? When we commandeer the downstairs bathroom for the acoustics. Nature's bound to take her course at some point; after all it IS a bathroom. Of course if you prefer to come yourself, you can take care of this function for all attending. If we can check yours.... eeeew, but fair's fair. Or phone us up during the event. I gotta get a speaker phone! ~Susan |
|
Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: catspaw49 Date: 28 Mar 01 - 10:59 PM If MaryMac shows up, someone needs to check her for clean underwear. I do this every Tuesday during Mudcat Radio, but a midweek check would be useful, especially as she'll be visiting. Try to make arrangements to do this. Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: Hyla Date: 28 Mar 01 - 10:57 PM Hi Susan, Thanks for the invite to your gathering. I would love to come. I will have my six year old son with me that weekend. Are kids welcome? Do you know if any other children will be coming? I am hoping to either carpool or caravan with Mark, Ron, Pete and any others we can round up down this way. Jeff |
|
Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: MarkS Date: 28 Mar 01 - 10:33 PM Hi Praise Will try my best to make it for at least one day this time and drive in from the Stroudsburg area. I left word on another (Lehigh Valley) post about having some extra car space, etc. With all the posts talking about your gathering, you might get quite a crowd! MarkS |
|
Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: wysiwyg Date: 28 Mar 01 - 03:12 PM Thanks annamill! I am picturing eight Mudcatters to a bedroom and six to a bathroom. *G* We'll just put the beer in the tub; it makes sense, eh? Yup, six jamming Catters in the upstairs loo, beer commandeered! I just signed up a good friend and excellent volunteer to organize the local-pickers' side of this so Hardi and I can focus on enjoying Mudcat houseguests. I hope we will have a lot of drop-in's from the local talent. LMAO over the multiple hams you had talked about in one of the threads-- we almost had two, for the small group we had, and we are still eating up the one we held it down to! Thank God we have a freezer. Sounds like I'll have to set up a Mudcat Meals section! Can't wait to load up the dutch ovens out on the porch to simmer whatever people bring. Stone Soup, a la Mudcat. Have to tote the woodburning cookstove back out onto the porch to warm breads by day and cold Mudcatter toes by night! ~Susan |
|
Subject: RE: MudGather N. Central PA April 27-30 From: annamill Date: 28 Mar 01 - 03:03 PM In my gatherings I have discovered one important thing. Don't buy too much food. Mudcatters bring tons!! I'm always left with lots of food afterwards and sometime windup throwing some out (which I hate). Supply paper plates, lots of paper towels, strong plastic forks, knives and spoons. COFFEE!!! Lots of COFFEE for morning. Have a good supply of drinks. I usually have different beers and wine, but if you'd rather not just make it known so people can bring their own and just have lots of other drinks. Most of all, relax and have fun!! Love, annamill |
