Subject: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: Jeri Date: 03 Jun 01 - 11:20 AM As the other thread was over 100 posts, I thought I'd start this one. I included all of the boys, since that's what the previous thread wound up being about. (Feel free to start other threads if you'd like.) As we left our intrepid musicians, they had played a session in the Press Room and a concert in Brunswick Maine. People are still sorting the socks out at both locations. The rest of the itinerary, stolen from another thread, is:
THEIR ITINERARY: |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: Naemanson Date: 03 Jun 01 - 11:56 AM The boys left Brunswick, Maine, at 11:30 AM on the dot. They are headed for Keene, NH. I expect they will see heavy traffic as they are traveling with the flow of weekend and summer tourist traffic. The church reimbursed us for the room rental because of the flood. They paid us this morning and then we sent the boys on their way. Sorry to see them go but I will be watching this thread like a hawk. Good luck, guys, and God speed. |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: Charley Noble Date: 03 Jun 01 - 12:11 PM Jeri, I feel sad about that neglected cheesecake. I hope you don't throw it out. :-( |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: Naemanson Date: 03 Jun 01 - 12:19 PM Jeri, I may have to show up on your doorstep to help you deal with that cheesecake! |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: Rick Fielding Date: 03 Jun 01 - 01:08 PM JERI!! DON'T DO CHEESECAKE! It leads to full nudity! Rick |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: John J at home Date: 03 Jun 01 - 01:41 PM Bill, I've just spotted a remix of some 1970 stuff early in this thread, that you did with Stan Gee. Was that the Stan Gee (now the late Stan Gee) from Stockport in Cheshire? Hope you're all well. John |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: Sam Pirt Date: 03 Jun 01 - 02:13 PM From: Gill - Sam's mum Great to hear everyone's news. Hi Sam - the music and company sounds even better than you'd ever hoped. It feels as though you are safe with friends and having a good time all of you! I wish I'd taken more notice of this e-mail thing before you went - our 'night before - crash course' has got me started but I feel oh so frustrated and want to do more. What are attachments? I still don't know how to get to a 'pm' but I'm sure you showed me. Never mind - I'm now hooked so will muddle through and learn on the hoof. When you get back I'll be an expert - or raving mad! Naemonson - thank you so much for your kind hospitality looking after our trio. I hope Sam made his bed and did the washing up (just like he does at home??*) Jeri - thanks for starting a new thread. It saves me reading all 100 each time as I felt sort of compelled to do! I would think that it will be back up to 100 again soon though. Jools - hi! Fancy meeting you here:=) (I learned that from Sam's big brother Ben who said exclamation marks are not cool - !) Yes, we know our Sam is pretty nifty with the occasional buck and wing and wagon wheel. Bye for now all. Hope Keene survives :=)

There's one there from me to you. ALso, if you see the title at the top of the page: The Mudcat cafe Lyrics, forum and chat, Radio, personal pages, e musine etc..... Well, click on personal pages..... THe second box of stuff down says messages. That'll have all sam's pm's on it In tiny writing under that there is send a message archive and something else Click on send a message. Type the name of the person you want to write to in the box, click go...it'll then bring up that name in blue i think, well, click on it anyway.

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: Bat Goddess Date: 03 Jun 01 - 04:38 PM I finally got home (in NH -- near Jeri) at 10:20 this morning -- and it was -- again! -- pouring in Brunswick when I left. Last night's concert was grand! And the flood in the community room was nothin' compared to Winterbright's backyard (which needed to be, ah, "navigated" to and from her door). Two nights of too much fun and not enough sleep. 31/2 hour drive to get to Belfast, ME (for something completely different) then another hour and a half in pouring rain to get to Brunswick in time for dinner & concert and another coupla hours on the road this morning, I read this thread with delight but was too tired to post this morning. Didn't intend to take a nap, but fell asleep in the middle of "Rosalee Goes Shopping." Dunno if I'm awake enough now to write this. Do these guys ever stop making music?!? (Well, maybe long enough to eat!) Wish we'd had more time to talk, but it was well worth my convoluted drive to see them in a concert setting. Great musicians whether in the living room, the pub or on stage! Hear 'em! And if you can't get to see them, buy the CDs! Bat Goddess |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 03 Jun 01 - 04:46 PM Hi All We are safe and well in Keene, New Hampshire, at Animaterra's house. Just re-opened the box of Yorkshire Tea bags! Looking forward to the gig tonight,...just had a great jam session in the front room too!
Will update you after the gig! Ian and Sam and Bill |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: GUEST,Graham Pirt Date: 03 Jun 01 - 04:46 PM It has been said that Sam walks on water when he plays the accordion. Looks as though it came true in Brunswick. I bet he was really sad at missing the cheesecake. |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: windyb99 Date: 03 Jun 01 - 05:08 PM Ian, Sam & Bill, Glad you have arrived safely, if we had known that Animaterra liked Yorkshire Teas so much, we would have sent a bigger box ! We have found three more cd's in Ian's bedroom, do you want these sending? Good luck at the Coffee House, Chris & Geraldine / Windyb99/Jellybeam |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: JeZeBeL Date: 04 Jun 01 - 01:28 PM Hey Sam, Ian and Bill. How are things over there? I'm really jealous, but no worries it's my turn next year. So, Bill, I need to speak to you about u n Allan's trip u did when u return. SAM - just spoke to ur mum, think I've got her sorted out on Pm's n the like's now.

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: annamill Date: 04 Jun 01 - 01:56 PM Hi! Sounds like the guys are having a really grand time. The schedule states that they will be in Sea Bright on June 10th, but the gig I set up for them is on June 9th and I expect them at my house, from former postings, on Friday, the 8th. I sure hope nothing has changed, because an awful lot of people will be angry with me. We have posters up all over town and the response has been great. I just hope the room is large enough to hold everyone. I'm looking forward to seeing them. Jeri, why don't you bring that cheese cake down to my place?? Love, Annamill |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: catspaw49 Date: 04 Jun 01 - 02:02 PM That's OK ann.....I got left off altogether! Unfortunately, I heard from Mick last night and he's gotten cancelled out on his meeting, so he won't be here. Now I know that Bill eats like a bird, but I'm expecting Sam and Ian to have BIG appetites or we're gonna' have a lot of leftover ribs, brats, beans, and the like! Sounds like all is going well, hope to hear when they get to Rick's. Remember, they'll be on his show tonite at 7 PM Mudcat time (Eastern). Also a report from Allison would be nice......(ahem)....... Spaw |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: Roger in Sheffield Date: 04 Jun 01 - 02:29 PM Am I the only one here (Mudcat that is) that won't get to hear them play? Nearest I got was the Pirt's kitchen and even then I wasn't allowed in the same room as the Accordian lesson! When are they on Mudcat Radio? I can listen to that anytime afterwards right? |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: Naemanson Date: 04 Jun 01 - 03:57 PM I can help out a little on a report on the Keene performance. Here are the relevant line from an email Allison sent me this morning:
"...the lads are here- I'm trying to get them up now and get them off to Toronto- they did say they wanted to be gone by 7. And apparently they spilled the beans to her on what we saw on Friday night when I thought they meant to keep it quiet. |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 04 Jun 01 - 04:39 PM Brett, my lips are sealed! I'm still glowing from the warmth of three wonderful fellows. Sometimes I think Bill exemplefies the best of what the Mudcat has to offer, and he draws other warm and wonderful people to him- these young men give me great hope for the future. Some day when we're old and feeble, living together in Mudcat Acres, we'll be proud to say "we knew them when..." For more of my ramblings on the all-too-quick visit, check this out |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: Susanne (skw) Date: 04 Jun 01 - 04:48 PM Animaterra, I don't know the 'young 'uns' yet but I certainly second what you're saying about Bill. It was a real joy to meet him here in Germany a month ago. Safe journey and all the best to you and the boys, Bill! - Susanne |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: Sam Pirt Date: 04 Jun 01 - 07:29 PM From Gill - Sam's mum Hi all, it's great catching up with what's been happening. I've not been able to get into Mudcat for nearly 2 days so there has been loads of great things for me to read. So far so good - I've finally found a PM - wow :=)) Thank you JeZaBel. It would be good to send a PM but nothing has become too clear on that one yet - I'm still trying though. I could do with a full week off work to really get to grips with this www thing - this is day 5 and I'm getting by - just! Sam - pity you left your dance shoes in England but it sound as though you're managing somehow. Amazing what some lively music can do to your feet! I hope you are eating plenty and keeping your energy levels up. Did I hear someone say it was you that eats like a bird? Surely not . . . I also hope you have managed to find Canada somehow. Our shared (impossible) sense of direction perhaps gave you a few complications? I hope Bill and Ian have enjoyed going round in circles! Keep on having fun - Gill

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: Jeri Date: 04 Jun 01 - 07:39 PM Gill, if you have Real Audio on your computer, click on this. If you don't know if you have Real Audio, click on it anyway and see what happens. They're on the radio now! |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: Naemanson Date: 04 Jun 01 - 08:00 PM Damn! I was settling down to listen when my daughter called and I had to go get her. I missed pretty nearly the whole thing! Baz Faz A Rowrbazzle! Beljum, Man, Beljum! |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: catspaw49 Date: 04 Jun 01 - 09:37 PM Hi Gill...... The radio show was excellent and I bet they're having a fine time at Hugh's. Tomorrow they're visiting Niagra Falls and the boys should both really enjoy it. It may be one of those simple "tourist" type things, but it is a spectacular place and on a trip like this, I'd say it's a "must see" for Sam and Ian. CLICK HERE for some Niagra Falls info. We look forward to seeing them here on Wednesday. Spaw |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: roopoo Date: 05 Jun 01 - 02:40 AM Ah, so they ARE getting a shower then, albeit a cold one, at some point in the tour! Wow, they seem so busy I'm surprised they have time. I have visions of a three-fold blur leaving amazed people in their wake. Ian should enjoy Niagara as he's usually at home on a boat (if they go on it). Andrea

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: Sam Pirt Date: 05 Jun 01 - 03:07 AM From Gill Thanks for the updates everyone. JeZaBel - yes, I think I should have a name and be a proper Catter. Any suggestions anyone? Jeri - I clicked but found I am without! Jellybeam will perhaps record stuff so I'll get to listen eventually I hope. Thanks for trying though. Catspaw49 - I've enjoyed finding my way around Niagara. This www sure is wonderful! I'm still trying to find outgoing PM's - the search continues. Bet I finally get the hang of this the day Sam gets back to bale me out! Suppose I'd better go to work - but I'd rather stay here. Keep on rocking - Gill |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: John J Date: 05 Jun 01 - 03:57 AM Got back from a good night at the Jolly Angler in Manchester with me mum, Catrin, Noreen, Geordie Broon and others. Found the wireless thingy with the lads on. Very good indeed. Really nice to hear the voices of Katlaughging, Rick, (and was that Spaw who phoned in from the rain?), and of couirse the lads themselves. John |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: Naemanson Date: 05 Jun 01 - 04:22 AM Any chance this radio show will be archived on the Mudcat? |
|
Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: Peter T. Date: 05 Jun 01 - 09:07 AM Sometime today they may wake up from their toilings and find themselves in Rick's breakfast nook. The show went superbly last night, the weary lads contributing more than their fair share, and when I left at midnight, they were still picking up the compliments, Ian figuring out new international sign language, etc. yours, Peter T. |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: Rick Fielding Date: 05 Jun 01 - 10:40 AM Hi All Sam here Wow what a city Toronto! It is so busy with so many things to look at. I really enjoyed doing the radio show and it was great to speak to Katlaughing and Catspaw. We were tired but excited so it kind of balanced out if you know what I mean, well we were still awake anyway, which is the main thing! Great to see that many of you catters in the UK were listening, Hope you enjoyed the show and the music!! Mum - nice to see you are getting along well, I don't know how to set up different cookies on the same computer but if you ask Jellybeam she will put you straight. Off to Niagra falls today and looking forward to it. Take care, SamXX Hey Y'All as they say this side of the pond! 'tis me Ian S. ---> First up again this morning...apparently Bill and Rick stayed up till 4 this morning -and Sam and I are supposed to be the young ones! This morning we made ourselves a KILLER breakfast---> bacon sarnies and fried bread! Jill-----> Sorry but Sam's diet (and ours too) has been VERY indulgent! Me myself, I actually have fat reserves on my arms now -a first for me!
Rick has been a star -we arrived yesterday having been the wrong way through America and got lost A LOT! when we arrived rick was climbing into his car to go to the radio studio, and we Beeped him and caught him within SECONDS of him leaving! We didn't know where the studio was. DOH! |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: Mrs.Duck Date: 05 Jun 01 - 01:28 PM Good to hear you're enjoying yourselves. We didn't manage to stay up for the radio show last night it would be good if it was archived somewhere. When are they due to do mudcat radio? |

Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: Roger in Sheffield Date: 10 Jun 01 - 08:44 AM Last chance to grab those CD's from the Auction |
|
Subject: RE: Tracking Sam, Ian and Bill (part II) From: Jeri Date: 10 Jun 01 - 09:42 AM Mudcat Radio is on Tue at about 7PM/midnight in the UK. Max puts a link up to the radio show in the threads. It's on Real Audio, so you have to have that installed to hear it. |
