Subject: Kendall in England From: kendall Date: 27 Jul 01 - 10:47 PM Well folks, it's all but a done deed. I will be in England in October. Now, how many of you folks across the pond would like to get together? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 27 Jul 01 - 11:23 PM Wich part of England are you visiting? If you get to Hull feel free to get in touch. john (in hull) |

|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Peg Date: 28 Jul 01 - 12:40 AM Enjoy, kendall; I missed going this summer! :( Damn evil landlord... Where are you going exactly?
|
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Peter Kasin Date: 28 Jul 01 - 02:36 AM Kendall, I'll be in England then, too - October 14-31. Maybe I'll see you there! I'll be in London for a few days, then 10 days in Yorkshire, in Middlesbrough and Whitby. -chanteyranger |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Midchuck Date: 28 Jul 01 - 08:06 AM I also may be in England in October, probably the early part. This is strange. Peter. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Llanfair Date: 28 Jul 01 - 08:35 AM Well I hope you all come to Llanstock, 12th 13th 14th October!!! We'll find a floor for you to sleep on! Cheers, Bron. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: kendall Date: 28 Jul 01 - 09:05 AM I expect to be there from the 3rd to the 17th, but, that is not carved in stone yet. I'm still looking for the best flight so I dont arrive at 5 am, or have to leave here at some un godly hour. At this point, I plan to be in Hampshire, taking advantage of Morticia, I mean, her hospitality! then, I want to get up to Yorkshire to see Bill and Noreen, 'course I gotta see Sherwood Forest, and, I also want to get to Llanstock. Maybe Stonehenge and Glastonbury. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Noreen Date: 28 Jul 01 - 09:54 AM looking forward, Kendall! Noreen |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: running.hare Date: 28 Jul 01 - 03:50 PM & there was me thinking Kendall Mint cake! I'll just go now shall I? *creeps slowly away unnoticed* |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Peter K (Fionn) Date: 28 Jul 01 - 03:51 PM Kendall, if you look like getting to Sherwood Forest, let me know - I live in it. (Or where it used to be.) Don't want to put you off your plans, but there are many more interesting areas of England/UK you might want to take in first. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Peter K (Fionn) Date: 28 Jul 01 - 03:57 PM Should have said that two nearby towns have folk clubs - Mansfield's is Tuesday nights, Newark's Wednesday nights. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: bill\sables Date: 28 Jul 01 - 04:58 PM You're very welcome as I have said before to stay with us Not so sure about the Jug though we have a person there who does not like visitors. Bill |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: SINSULL Date: 28 Jul 01 - 05:02 PM Wonderful news. Kendall! Or are you leaving the country to avoid prosecution for the alledged crime mentioned in that other thread? |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 28 Jul 01 - 06:18 PM Lucky you, Kendall! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: kendall Date: 28 Jul 01 - 06:26 PM I'm not lucky, just well heeled and single! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: kendall Date: 28 Jul 01 - 06:29 PM Are you telling me that Sherwood is no more? Damn, I wanted to stand there and sing LONESOME ROBIN. Maybe I'll settle for the town square in Nottingham. Is that nasty sheriff still around? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Peter K (Fionn) Date: 28 Jul 01 - 07:29 PM There's a mighty tree, known as the Mighty Oak, which is certainly a few hundred years old; there are a few hundred acres of mature forest, and a few thousand of forestry plantations. And Nottingham's castle is hugely eclipsed by many others, but the city does claim to have the oldest pub in Britain, the Trip to Jerusalem. It was from there (allegedly) that Robin and his merry men set forth on King Richard's crusade against Saladin. Until a year or two ago, you could at least have visited "the World of Robin Hood," built around the set of the Kevin Costner film, but I'm afraid even that's gone now. Maybe the sheriff is still in office though, because someone keeps hiking up the council tax. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Peg Date: 28 Jul 01 - 08:26 PM Nottingham is quite a lovely town, but no, there is no forest really left anymore...you might like the Forest of Dean in Oxfordhsire (I think? or is it Hampsire?) I think you'd love Glastonbury, and if you go to Stonehenge plan to stay in Salisbury, and to visit Avebury (a much more accessible stone circle built around a tiny village) while you are the area.. Peg

|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: kendall Date: 28 Jul 01 - 09:48 PM Sherwood is special to me, Robin Hood has been a hero of mine since I was a boy. It might be a stretch for me to sing about a man who doesn't exist in a forest that doesn't exist. I always knew I was born 800 years too late. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Peg Date: 28 Jul 01 - 10:06 PM well that oak is rather grand; I've seen it. Certainly worth a vsiit if you are really interested in Robin Hood...

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Midchuck Date: 28 Jul 01 - 10:16 PM I always knew I was born 800 years too late. 800 years ago, you'd have had to play a lute with gut strings and friction pegs. Want to try to tune one of those, and then to make any real noise on it? And, of course, there's very little chance either one of us would have lived to our present ages with the medical care and sanitation they had then - and I, at least, if I had, wouldn't have had a tooth left in my head, so I couldn't sing very well. I think probably every one of my teeth has at least one filling, but I still have them all. The interesting question to me is, if I'd been born 800 years in the future, would things be better or worse? Or would they be similiar to 800 years in the past? Peter. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Maryrrf Date: 28 Jul 01 - 11:15 PM Definitely include Glastonbury, Kendall. I highly recommend it! |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: catspaw49 Date: 29 Jul 01 - 12:11 AM Sinsull alluded to Kendall's legal problems that he may be trying to escape and I think it's fair to warn all of you that his trip may have some ulterior motive. The Captain was recently arrested for exposing himself and has a suitcase full cut off pantlegs. Although he has been barred from purchasing trench coats in a 5 state area, I fear he is going to fly out of LaGuardia in New York where they don't know him......yet. So do be careful where you take him and do not give him any time alone...........except perhaps at the Jug where he can expose himself to any raving paranoids, and there seems to be at least one there. When the police searched his house they found a lot of articles on England, but specifically an awful lot of stuff about Charles and Camilla. My guess would be that he has a plan to expose himself to them. This is very logical as neither of them has any idea what a real penis looks like and although Kendall ain't much, he has Charlie beat hands down....or up....well, you know what I mean. Just wanted to let you all know..........just in case. Spaw

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: kendall Date: 29 Jul 01 - 06:43 AM Spaw, you are certifiable! I dont know whem was the last time I laughed right out loud at 6:45 on a Sunday am!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: kendall Date: 29 Jul 01 - 07:17 AM All you English and Welsh 'catters who would like to get together, would you please PM your address and phone number? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Morticia Date: 29 Jul 01 - 08:04 AM It's okay,Pat....I have warned the local constabulary and the Townswomens Guild, bail money is already set aside and I have several copies of Pervs R Us on order so he can make friends in the local area....all set, Kendall, you can arrive any time you like *BG*. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Lanfranc Date: 29 Jul 01 - 01:34 PM If you find yourself in the vicinity of North or East London, Hertfordshire or Essex it would be good to meet you. My attendance at Llanstock is dependent on workload, and at this point looks problematical. An evening or lunch in the above locations could be arranged, and, who knows, Micca and/or Liz the Squeak or even Kevin (McGrath of Harlow) or Gervase or any of the other South-East England 'catters might be able to attend. Will discuss it in the Snug on PalTalk next Thursday, and PM you. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: kendall Date: 29 Jul 01 - 01:58 PM Perves R us? What hath Spaw wrought? Terri, that is VERY funny! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Barry Finn Date: 29 Jul 01 - 06:03 PM Attention Overseas; Kendall has a very good & sometimes sharp sense of humor but he also has a Downeast accent, so at most times he appears to be slower than he really is, which is almost impossible, don't let him fool ya, he's quick to come at ya from the backside. I do love his songs & his singing though, come to think of it he's not half bad for Maine-e-ack. Wish you all well once he gets there & you too Kendall. Barry |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 29 Jul 01 - 06:48 PM If you're after Robin Hood, Whitby and nearby Robin Hood's Bay is the place to be. (With Kippers by Post.) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Richard Bridge Date: 29 Jul 01 - 07:08 PM Kendall, I may be rude to you online but if you come to the Old House at Home pub in Pudding Lane in Maidstone in Kent there might be some music in Hazlitt Folk (upstairs ) on a Monday night. I thinks that's the month we have Dangerous Curves one Monday - a good bunch of women singers. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: kendall Date: 29 Jul 01 - 08:55 PM I dont recall your being rude to me?? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Noreen Date: 29 Jul 01 - 09:06 PM Hey, Kendall, this isn't BS! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: kendall Date: 29 Jul 01 - 09:10 PM Noreen ???? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: kendall Date: 29 Jul 01 - 09:15 PM Thanks for warning them Barry, I understand the Dorcetshire accent is similar. They understood every word in Scotland. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 29 Jul 01 - 09:32 PM Kendall, my mum just gave me a bunch of Realm magazines; one has a bit of an article on Robin Hood and where to go in Britain to see related places. I'll try to remember to bring it to Champlain Valley FF! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Barry Finn Date: 29 Jul 01 - 09:50 PM Hi Kendall, of course the folks in Dorcetshire understand the folks in Scotland they're neighbors. See what I mean folks, don't let this man touch English soil, no telling what he's capable of singing when the notion takes him. Good luck to the British Isles as we now know them. Barry |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: kendall Date: 29 Jul 01 - 11:21 PM Barry, what are you drinking? Dorcet is about 400 miles from Scotland. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Noreen Date: 30 Jul 01 - 06:37 AM I meant it is a music related thread, as I imagine you will be making music with us when you are in England? Therefore the BS title is erroneous. :0) Noreen |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: bill\sables Date: 30 Jul 01 - 07:09 AM Kendall, about half an hour drive from my home would bring you top Edwinstowe, Nottinghamshire. In this village is the church where, ledgend says,Robin and Marrion got married. A walk away is the Oak tree mentioned earlier. It is worth seeing. They say that it was the tree where Robin kept his pantry and concealed himself when the Sherriff's men were near. In truth in the days of Robin Hood it would only have been an acorn. Patrish lives very near to the site of Kirklees Priory where Robin's grave is said to be, unfortunatly it is on private land and not accessable to the public. Bill |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 30 Jul 01 - 08:21 AM York is nice, What are your intersts? Are you going to be sightseeing, Meeting Mudcatters , or going to sessions? Or maybe all of these! Tell us your intersts and we can reccomend were to go. I f you have not already I definetly reccomend a book by Bill Bryson, it is called Notes From A Small Island, it is very funny as well. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: kendall Date: 30 Jul 01 - 08:33 AM At this point, nothing is carved in stone. I'm having another battle with depression, so, when this happens, I just want to become a recluse. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Peter K (Fionn) Date: 30 Jul 01 - 09:41 AM Does your mood ever go to the other extreme, Kendall? If so you should check out a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D068483183X/102-3726647-4829727">Touched with Fire: Manic-Depressive Illness & the Artistic Temperament by Kay Redfield Jamison where you will find confirmation that you are probably a creative genius (if you didn't know already). There's even a dedicated webring to which you can link your own website. Peg, the Major Oak must certainly have been rather grand once upon a time, though Californian Mudcatters might not have been that impressed. These days it is held up by an array of props, which admittedly become increasingly vestigial as the technology advances, but the effect is still rather demeaning and touristy. If you do make it to these parts, Kendall, don't forget to have a little gloat at Newark Castle, where Bad King John ended his days (after losing all his treasure in The Wash). |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Peter K (Fionn) Date: 30 Jul 01 - 09:45 AM I'll just try to make good that failed blue clicky: Touched with Fire: Manic-Depressive Illness & the Artistic Temperament. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Hollowfox Date: 30 Jul 01 - 10:03 AM Ooo, you lucky duck! Safe journey, darlin'! (As I recall, there was an article in the Manchester Guardian about ten years ago telling that the then current Sheriff of Nottingham arranged to replace the arrow in a statue of Robin Hood after vandals stole it.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: kendall Date: 30 Jul 01 - 12:22 PM I dont think I'm Bi-polar, because my highs just feel like normal to me. If we draw a base line at zero, with extremes of ,say, 20 in each direction, my highs would be something like 5, and, my lows, 10-15. Right now, I'm about 12. As an example of a high, I probably hit 15 when I was told that I was going to record for Folk Legacy, and, a low of maybe, 15 when I got divorced. I've never been suicidal, although it has crossed my mind how easy it would be. I have a natural aversion to suicide, because I believe in re-incarnation, and, if you commit suicide, you have to come back as a public servant. Humor is the opiate of the melancholy. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Micca Date: 30 Jul 01 - 02:09 PM Kendall, If you need a bed in London(east) ditto Chanteyranger, PM me, we might be able to get a few stray 'catters together |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: SINSULL Date: 30 Jul 01 - 02:19 PM Kendall - take a long, hard look at Micca's "Nearly Nude Calendar" photo before you accept. Wouldn't want you to lose that Maine reserve all at once. Bad for the heart. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: John Kidder Date: 30 Jul 01 - 02:29 PM Kendall: "Touched With Fire" will do your heart and your soul a power of good. You are most assuredly not alone, in fact you are in the company of most of the world's great artistic temperaments, just as Kay Jamieson says. john Kidder |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Linda Kelly Date: 30 Jul 01 - 02:33 PM Remember -It's never Dull in Hull -get the boy Sables to to get you over here. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Peter K (Fionn) Date: 30 Jul 01 - 02:39 PM Kendall, I would have thought recording for Folk Legacy would have been worth about 100 in anyone's book, so in clinical terms I'm afraid you're presenting an excess of stability. Another stunt of the latter-day sheriff has been to banish all bows and arrows from city logos, letterheads etc - not the dynamic business-orientated image the city wants to project. Yuk. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: kendall Date: 30 Jul 01 - 03:29 PM Thanks Micca, I just might take you up on it. I want to meet as many 'catters as I can. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: kendall Date: 30 Jul 01 - 03:33 PM Fionn, the scale only goes to 20, and I have never been that highj. The word from Folk Legacy is about as high as I have ever been. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Peg Date: 30 Jul 01 - 07:34 PM well I stayed with Micca twice aned never had to see him naked... Had a lovely time nevertheless... Peg
|
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: kendall Date: 30 Jul 01 - 10:31 PM Peg, you probably could have if you had asked! LOL |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Liz the Squeak Date: 30 Jul 01 - 11:23 PM I'm not lucky, just well heeled and single! - A bed is already waiting for you here, just give me the word and don't tell Manitas!!! Seriously, if you feel that the prospect of a naked Micca is too much, but don't mind childish nudity (the bratling is getting better, though she still runs around with no knickers on sometimes... at least she keeps the dress on), then we have space and would love to see you. Regrettably though, we only have the one car now so won't be able to offer a lift to Llanstock, as we might have Mudguard with us in it. And don't worry, I'm not going to offer you a pillion ride! Micca's threat about stray catter's is probably best treated as a promise.... any excuse! LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Trevor Date: 31 Jul 01 - 08:23 AM I'm just down the road from Bron at Llanstock. Maybe we can introduce you to some of the delights of The Marches - especially The Six Bells and a pint of 'Cloud Nine'. Give us a shout. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: SINSULL Date: 31 Jul 01 - 08:52 AM Be sure to teach the Captain some Morris Dancing. I would pay to see that performance, especially if he wears his kilt. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: GUEST,Raggytash Date: 31 Jul 01 - 02:37 PM Kendall sorry to hitch a ride on your thread but this may interest you as well as Chanteranger. Whitby has 2 festivals running over the weekend of the 19th 20th of October. One is the Whitby Musicport World Music Festival which may or may not be of interest to Catter's. However the same weekend is the Captain Cook Maritime Music Festival which should prove to be. Each has a web site:- musicport@Email.com & Cook.seafest@onyxnet.co.uk. I'll probably not be there, as a trip to the Emerald Isle may beckon, however I do have a tatty caravan within easy walking distance of the town, except for the 199 steps up to the abbey..........not easy after eleventeen pints. If you need abed it may well be free. Drop me a line |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: kendall Date: 31 Jul 01 - 02:49 PM Liz, what is a "pillion ride"? No problem Raggytash, I welcome all input here. Actually, Morticia has first refusal on my time, it was she who invited me in the first place, and, she has graciously offered to serve as tour guide, but, If need arises, I will take you all up on your offers too! I luv ya, one and all. Liz, I raised 3 little girls who also liked to appear "knickerless" But, dont worry, Most of them outgrow it! And I make allowances for the ones who dont! LOL |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: MMario Date: 31 Jul 01 - 02:59 PM Kendall - is it safe for you to go to England? I thought they still had a warrant out for you - ever since that time you snuck down to Boston, dressed up as an Indian and dumped all that stuff in the harbour...?
his shouting "down with German George! probably didn't endear him to the English, either.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: kendall Date: 31 Jul 01 - 07:44 PM That does it! no wonder my passport hasn't arrived yet! Look man, the statute of limitations ran out on that dido! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Noreen Date: 31 Jul 01 - 07:50 PM Kendall, Liz was hoping you might want to ride pillion up behind her on her new motorbike... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: SINSULL Date: 31 Jul 01 - 07:56 PM In his kilt, right Noreen? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Noreen Date: 31 Jul 01 - 08:30 PM Might be a bit breezy, Sins... *grin* |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: kendall Date: 31 Jul 01 - 09:55 PM good! that would keep me cool. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: harpgirl Date: 31 Jul 01 - 10:41 PM ...The best cure for anaclitic depression Kendall, is attachment! Unfortunately it creates a lifelong difficulty in finding it, I think. I know I'm living proof. Have fun in England...Morty and Liz are hilarious and clever...Noreen is plucky and sings like a lark...harp |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: kendall Date: 01 Aug 01 - 07:04 AM Thanks HG, I believe you are right, but, what do you do about it? I've always felt like I am in the world sideways and dont really belong here. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Dave the Gnome Date: 01 Aug 01 - 09:07 AM And if you're over the right side of the pennines (ducking and running...) you'll have a welcome over here in sunny Manchester. Swinton Folk Club list for October
1st Dave Tuxford Always a bed available and transport to and from the Gnome cave should the need arise. PM with personal details on it's way. Cheers Dave the Gnome |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Morticia Date: 03 Oct 01 - 04:25 PM Kendall has arrived and to prove it, he's here!We have just had the jolliest evening of music and food and some, but by no means all, the drinking....he is now a tired little teddy bear and has wondered off to bed but we will be moving amongst you in the fullness of time. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: MMario Date: 03 Oct 01 - 04:34 PM "wondered off to bed" I like it, even if it wasn't intentional! Hope kendall has a great time - which I am sure he will. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: SINSULL Date: 03 Oct 01 - 07:10 PM Have fun! Morty. Keep us posted. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Murray MacLeod Date: 03 Oct 01 - 07:56 PM That would be "right" as opposed to "left" , Noreen" ? Or did you have another connotation in mind ? :-) Murray |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 03 Oct 01 - 09:09 PM Have a wonderful time, Kendall, wondering around the UK! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: catspaw49 Date: 03 Oct 01 - 09:53 PM Kendall, you were in transit during Mudcat Radio this week and we dedicated a song to you..........I could tell right away when Max played it that it was your kind of tune so I said why not do this one for Kendall? Had a real melodious quality about it, sorta' like a psychotic Gordon Bok on peyote and having a bad attack of gas. You'd have loved it! You have to check the archive.....We wanted to do something special, and believe me, this one is special! |
