Subject: Old Songs- YES! From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 03 May 01 - 05:08 PM Couldn't find the old thread, so I started this one! I just got the signed confirmation from my boss that I can take off the last day of school and get to the Old Songs Festival in time for the afternoon workshops, in plenty of time to set up camp, in time to set up the galley and prepare to greet other 'catters- yippeee! This is the same boss who gave me the day off tomorrow after I walked into his office and burst into tears. Life is very stressful right now, some good and some bad, but I'm very grateful that I work for a guy who sees a day off as needful once in awhile! Now to look into renting a pop-up camper; my new little car can't fit all the gear! |

Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: Noreen Date: 03 May 01 - 06:14 PM Been there, Allison... positive thoughts for you. Run a warm bath with scented oils and some lovely music and a bottle of wine.... :0) Noreen |

Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: bigchuck Date: 03 May 01 - 06:37 PM That's great, Alison. Be sure to stop by the Woodchuck enclave (It'LL probably be fairly obvious.) |
|
Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: GUEST,Midchuck upstairs Date: 03 May 01 - 07:00 PM For that matter, you're welcome to join the Woodchuck enclave.
Whether you will wish to depends on your tolerance for loud howling and fiddle/mando/guitar music, strong beer late at night and strong coffee early in the morning, jokes not guaranteed politically correct, But we'd love to have you. Peter. |

Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: Jeri Date: 03 May 01 - 07:13 PM And I STILL remember Bigchuck and a bunch of other Alison, stress will melt away at Old Songs. I remember I decided to go while (in 1992) my mother was in the hospital. I enjoyed myself, and completely forgot about all the little expanding and converging bits of hell back in the "real world." It was one of the smartest things I've ever done. |

Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: GUEST,Yum Yum Date: 03 May 01 - 08:33 PM Animaterra, (what a 'charming'! name.) With all honesty! go for it, I am envious! I have put off so many singing week-ends in the past few years, I wish I could turn the clock back. HAVE A GREAT TIME!!! still envious Yum Yum |
|
Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: bigchuck Date: 03 May 01 - 08:47 PM Well of course join us. You too, Jeri, and any other catter that can fit. We can even supply some Wicked Children for you to torment. If Jack Hardy shows up again, god knows what else could happen. Sandy |

Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: GUEST,marty D Date: 03 May 01 - 09:17 PM Does anyone know what year Old Songs started? Thanks Martin |

Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: Susan A-R Date: 03 May 01 - 09:27 PM What's the weekend? I may be able to do it this year. Shoot, with the strong coffee and strong beer, you've got two out of the four basic food groups in the woodchuck site. P'raps I can pitch my tent and fill out the other two (garlic and chocolate.) Now no one was IN that porta potty, or at least that's what Midchuck said. Susan |

Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: Burke Date: 03 May 01 - 09:36 PM June 22-24. I'm sure there's a link in the old threads, but here is is again. Old Songs Festival |
|
Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: Jeri Date: 03 May 01 - 10:08 PM Marty, I believe it started in 1980. (I have a T-shirt from the first festival around here someplace.) |

Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 04 May 01 - 11:09 AM Oh, you sweet friends, there you go letting my tears flow. I'm having a relaxing day at home and just checked in to see all this kindness. 'Chucks, thanks so much! I'll have my raging hormonal 12-year old (Rhymes With Rich when her royal highness' sleep is disturbed- even at Old Songs, which she loves!), so will join you as much as I can, but will probably set up camp in the Quiet At Night section. Noreen, it's been 90 degrees here, (our little payback for the past nine months of winter), so a hot bath isn't quite what would soothe me- but it's cooler today, a breeze is blowing, the trees are GREEN, the pollen count is much lower than usual so I can breathe, and I'm having a lovely day. Thanks, all! |

Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: Joy Bennett Date: 07 May 01 - 12:47 PM the previous old songs thread (old songs fest #2) is click here I'm really looking forward to it this year (as we do every year!!) |
|
Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: mousethief Date: 07 May 01 - 12:50 PM Does "Animaterra" mean "Soul of the Earth"? Alex |
|
Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: Bert Date: 07 May 01 - 12:58 PM I always interpret it as Anima-Terror = Wild Animal |
|
Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 07 May 01 - 01:12 PM Yer both wrong! It's the name of my chorus, designed by a committee, and it's a play on words which we say means: Spirit of mother earth. |
|
Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: mousethief Date: 07 May 01 - 01:14 PM Forgive me for being literal! This is what you get for desiging things by committee, you know -- people malguessing what it means! hahaha! Alex |
|
Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 07 May 01 - 03:09 PM I know, Alex, I know. I wasn't thrilled with the committee's decision at the time, but it grew on me. Now I love it! Do a Google search on the name and the only other place it can be found is an Italian film about which I know nothing! |
|
Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: kendall Date: 07 May 01 - 08:26 PM I want to meet as many Mudcatters as I can at Old Songs. I'll be hanging around the Folk Legacy booth, walking around with my guitar on my shoulder, and, parked in the area near the main stage. My rig is a white Ford conversion van, Maine registration 20 MM.Stop by and chin a while. |
|
Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: GUEST,Judy Cook Date: 08 May 01 - 04:20 PM It will be good to see so many of you yet again. Dennis & I will be there. --Judy Cook |
|
Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 08 May 01 - 05:07 PM Judy! I'm looking forward to meeting you! Maybe I can get you to sing the New Hampshire (Purple Lilacs) parody, since I never have called you! I will also hang out at Folk Legacy a lot. I will wear my Animaterra tshirt on Friday, but if it's hot Saturday I'm wearing a lot less than that... |
|
Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: GUEST,Midchuck upstairs Date: 08 May 01 - 05:33 PM Pray for heat! P. |
|
Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: Burke Date: 08 May 01 - 06:42 PM I don't know about heat, but pray that it doesn't rain! |
|
Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: Joy Bennett Date: 09 May 01 - 08:08 AM no rain at Old Songs - what a concept! I actually remember a year when it didn't rain at all. They had to wet down the track a few times because of all the dust! Great that you'll be at Old Songs Judy & Dennis --look forward to seeing you there -- are you camping? I'll be all over the place at old songs - just had the schedule and I will have to clone myself! But of course I will be spending time (and money) at the Folk Legacy Booth. It will be nice to put faces of mudcatters to names. |
|
Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: MMario Date: 09 May 01 - 08:08 AM hmmmmmmmm- y'know, they sell "canned heat" |
|
Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: GUEST,Midchuck upstairs Date: 10 May 01 - 08:26 AM Git back here! We ain't through bashing you around yet! P. |
|
Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: dick greenhaus Date: 10 May 01 - 06:09 PM You can usually tell the Mudcatters because they're wearing Mudcat T-Shirts.You don't have one? If Folk-Legacy will continue being gracious (aren't they always?) wwe'll have some for sale at the FL Booth. In sizes from Small to XXXLarge. |
|
Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: MMario Date: 11 May 01 - 08:39 AM and the mudcat t's are comfortable! |
|
Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 11 May 01 - 03:03 PM But way too bulky for l'il ol me when it's hot! Actually, it didn't rain at all last year, perfect weather as I recall. Didn't seem like Old Sogs, er, Songs, at all! Midchuck, I never left, only both my computers, at work and at home, have been rebelling and I haven't been able to get on line much this week- just when I need all the friends I can get! It's hot today.... |

Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: GUEST Date: 23 May 01 - 08:35 PM Wow! sounds like I'd better get cracking. See you all there. Susan A-R

Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: MMario Date: 23 May 01 - 10:11 PM made my plans a year ago - took this long to get a round tuit. |
|
Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: kendall Date: 23 May 01 - 10:54 PM I have spot number 35. What does that tell you? |
|
Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: MMario Date: 23 May 01 - 10:57 PM that you'd fail to qualify for the Procrastinators club. |
|
Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: GUEST,Ron Olesko Date: 25 May 01 - 09:45 AM This will be my first year at Old Songs and I am really looking forward to it. I plan to bring my trusty MD recorder to get some interviews for my TRADITIONS program (WFDU-FM), and perhaps with your permission I can record a few of you. I'm hoping to put together a segment or perhaps a whole show on the festival that I can air later this year. I'd like to show my audience what the festival is all about and hopefuly encourage a few more people to attend in the future. From all the reports I've heard this sounds like a great place to be, and I don't know why I've procrastinated this long!! The lineups always make me drool!! I should have been going all along. Speaking of procrastinating, I recently purchased a new PC and a new internet provider. My old login for Mudcat doesn't seem to work (hence the "guest" signin). Can anyone point me in the right direction on how I can either fix it or should I just re-join mudcat? I feel so out of it being a "guest". Ron Olesko |

Subject: RE: Old Songs- YES! From: GUEST,JohnB Date: 25 May 01 - 12:45 PM I've had my tickets for weeks now. It's only because my wife is organized, absolutely nothing to do with me. Looking forward to it. JohnB |
