Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: kendall Date: 20 Aug 02 - 08:38 AM Hey Euclid! welcome aboard. Folks, this is my good friend, Euclid, and, believe me, he is as special as his name. Doug, you would really like this guy. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: euclid Date: 20 Aug 02 - 08:15 AM I'm sorta glad all these good people don't seem to know about the Labor Day bash. Wouldn't be room for them all! |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: SINSULL Date: 19 Aug 02 - 08:53 PM Kendall a liar???? You mean he doesn't like women????? The llama again???? Oh dear! |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: Midchuck Date: 19 Aug 02 - 08:20 PM If you get together with him and get into a lying contest, have a tape running. You could sell me a copy even if you charged an outrageous price. Peter. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: kendall Date: 19 Aug 02 - 07:54 PM Been thinking of doing that. I'd like to visit with Utah Phillips one of these days. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: Genie Date: 19 Aug 02 - 03:37 PM And what's wrong with that? Kendall, now that you're back to singing again, come on out to the other coast and see us one of these months. Charley Noble's coming to Portland, OR in September. There's always room for you out here, too. ¤'-D

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: kendall Date: 19 Aug 02 - 02:15 PM I am not a flirt! I just like women, that's all. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: MMario Date: 19 Aug 02 - 01:57 PM Peg - getaway is the weekend of October 18 to 20th (Which I just realized is the weekend after columbus day - not the second weekend after which I thought it was.) oh well. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: Jeri Date: 19 Aug 02 - 01:56 PM The Getaway is Oct 18-20, and it's gonna be a great one this year! (As it was every year I've been.) Kendall, you are a shameless flirt! (I personally believe you and Max should sign up to do a song together at the concert. Or maybe not, if there's a time limit on songs.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: Big Mick Date: 19 Aug 02 - 01:42 PM Captain, I have just returned from Milwaukee Irish Fest late last night. I am so relieved to hear it went well. Congrats, my friend. I am looking forward to sitting with Sandy and the two of us giving you a hard time while you spin the yarn. See you at the Getaway. Mick |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: Peg Date: 19 Aug 02 - 11:28 AM glad to hear it went well; a very impressive line-up!! When is that Getaway? I think I won;t be able to attend as I am doing a fair amount of travelling this fall...but it would be good to see Mudcatters again... peg

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: Áine Date: 18 Aug 02 - 07:36 PM Congrats, Kendall!! We knew you could do it!! Love ya, Áine |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: kendall Date: 18 Aug 02 - 03:18 PM Genie, I would have made room for you! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: Genie Date: 18 Aug 02 - 03:07 PM So glad to hear you're back in action, Kendall, and apparently in fine form. Woulda loved to see/hear all four of the guys, especially you, but I'm in the wrong "Portland." (I'm assuming you were performing somewhere in Maine.) I might've even taken my chances with the redhead to get to say hi to you. ;-) Genie |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: Don Firth Date: 18 Aug 02 - 02:34 PM Wow! Sounds like a pretty good evening all the way around! Don Firth |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: SINSULL Date: 18 Aug 02 - 12:22 PM Because the redhead must have wheeled her out the door before I arrived. So many hearts; so little time... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: kendall Date: 18 Aug 02 - 12:02 PM I'm shameless? What did I do? How come you didn't mention the plain lady in the wheel chair? They wern't all beautiful! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: SINSULL Date: 18 Aug 02 - 10:32 AM Shame on me: Dave Mallet had the crowd in the palm of his hand. They loved his music - had them singing along to "Inch By Inch". Didn't know that politicians could sing. But his wry humor had the audience hanging on his every word. After mentioning that his Garden Song had made the list of "50 Best Folk Songs Ever" in a poll done by Singout!, he observed how proud he was to be up there with "Barbry Allan" and "Blowing In The Wind". Very funny; very modest; very wry. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: SINSULL Date: 18 Aug 02 - 10:27 AM Part II: for the Mudcat groupies. I looked for Kendall during intermission. He was of course surrounded by a "bevy of beauties" (Gordon Bok's description, not mine). One long, lean redhead with a halo of hair and the palest, finest skin was hanging onto his every word and looking daggars at any female who might presume to usurp her spot. I had to settle for a handshake from the Captain or risk losing my eyes. Three others of varying ages formed a barrier of adoring eyes. The man is shameless. I had the pleasure of a brief encounter with Gordon Bok. Oh my! Is he a pretty man! When he looks you straight in the face, his eyes light up and dance. Our Captain may have competition in the Heartbreak Department. Oh yes...Gordon sings too. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: Don Firth Date: 18 Aug 02 - 03:34 AM Great!! Now I can relax and go to bed. Don Firth |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: Nancy King Date: 18 Aug 02 - 12:37 AM Wish I could'a been there, Kendall! It sounds great! Looking forward to seeing you at the Getaway and at the FSGW November program in D.C. Cheers, Nancy |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: kendall Date: 18 Aug 02 - 12:07 AM I don't know what I did to rate such good friends, but, I'm glad I did it! It went better than I expected, and, although it is always a pleasure to perform with Gordon, tonight was even more special. Mallett was, as usual, a fireball; he had them all wound up before I got to them, so, I can thank him for much of the feedback. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: Sandy Paton Date: 18 Aug 02 - 12:05 AM Kendall and Gordon have been such good friends for so long that there are probably a thousand small private jokes they share, and one of them must have occurred to them while they were singing together. You gotta know from that exchange that Kendall got over his frazzled nerves in time to be himself on that stage -- full of ironic humor and singing up a storm. Well done, lad. Now rest your voice until the Getaway and NOMAD. See you there! Sandy |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: Jeri Date: 17 Aug 02 - 11:38 PM 'Patience'!!?? HA! Great to hear it went so well. Hopefully, Kendall will come in and glow at us soon. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: SINSULL Date: 17 Aug 02 - 11:30 PM Our Captain did himself proud tonight. He was introduced and went into "Maine Humorist" mode before introducing Gordon Bok. Had the audience laughing and paying attention. He performed "Starlight On The Rails" and "Over And Under The Ground" with Gordon. Not sure what happened but there was a bit of kibbitzing going on and Kendall cracked up in the middle of the song. Both seemed to really enjoy the moment. No bare butts; no missing limbs; no bloody fans. Sorry Spaw. Maybe next time. Dave Mallet was a treat. So was Mr. Bok. His guitar sang tonight. Have to admit I suffered through Referendum who insisted on singing African chants as if they were Tin Pan Alley fodder and some woman named Cindy who is quite famous (Broadway show "Island Life"?) Can't figure out why she needed three guitars to sing four songs that all sounded exactly alike. I must be getting old. And I left before Dan Fogelberg went on. I just couldn't sit still for an hour of his "hits". I know, Shame On Me. Final comment: with a little time and patience, Kendall will be back to playing and singing full sets by the Getaway. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: Áine Date: 17 Aug 02 - 07:16 PM You're probably already gone, dear Kendall; but, I'm holding you in my heart and wishing you great, great good luck tonight. With all these Marvelous Mudcatters behind you, what can you do but GREAT!?! (Well, except you know you have to keep a keen Yankee eye out for that pesky 'Spaw, don't ya know!). Can't wait to hear how it went for you, darlin'. Hugs and snogs headin' up North for My Favorite Yankee, Áine |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: catspaw49 Date: 17 Aug 02 - 07:02 PM Goodgawd Doug, what are you thinking??? If the man removes his ass AND breaks a leg, it's going to be a very sorry state of affairs there tonight I can tell ya'!!! On the other hand, seeing a guy with his ass removed and his legs, one of which is broken, attached to his shoulder blades should have the audience in such a shocking state that it won't matter how he sings! On the minus side though, breaking a leg might topple him into one of the "Gordon Bok Fans" which Bok is probably peddling tonight along with his songbooks.....I hear they've gone well in the current end of summer heat wave. In any case, Kendall might get whacked by a blade and lose and ear or something and that might put everyone completely over the edge......... Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: DougR Date: 17 Aug 02 - 04:35 PM Break a leg, Kendall! DougR |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: Dani Date: 17 Aug 02 - 04:12 PM Wish I could come be a groupie for you. I'd yell and cheer and wave my arms for you if I was there. Come to think of it, I'll do it anyway!! What time? Dani |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: Don Firth Date: 17 Aug 02 - 03:52 PM Take about three good, deep breaths, yawn a couple of times (great for relaxing the throat), and sock it to 'em! I'll be pulling for you! Don Firth |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: KT Date: 17 Aug 02 - 03:22 PM Kendall, this is wonderful!! Don't worry about the voice. It WILL be fine!! No matter what, just put your heart into it and they will love you! Tonight, remember that all of your mudcat friends are thinking of you........Have fun!! KT
|
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: SINSULL Date: 17 Aug 02 - 03:15 PM I will be there...Gee, hope I am considered one of the "two friends". This will be the first time I see the illustriuos Captain "on stage". Gordon Bok too. Going into Groupie Mode. SINS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: MMario Date: 17 Aug 02 - 02:54 PM Cripes Kendall - If you feel your singing voice going - tell a story! (That should be easier on your voice then singing, right?) But it ain't gonna happen - you're just having a downeast-pessimistic-prepare-for-the-worst-and-that-way-I-won't-be-dissapointed moment.

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: Biskit Date: 17 Aug 02 - 02:29 PM I KNOW in my heart you'll do wonderfully Good on ya Brother! Go get'em! ~B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: harpgirl Date: 17 Aug 02 - 01:58 PM ...so kendall, what songs are you going to do? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: alanabit Date: 17 Aug 02 - 01:06 PM Good luck. The audience isn't there to test you but to enjoy you. I'm sure they will - especially if you enjoy yourself too. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: Ebbie Date: 17 Aug 02 - 12:38 PM Ah, but Kendall, think how far you've come. A couple of months ago you would've given your eyeteeth to be in this situation today. Never fear. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: kendall Date: 17 Aug 02 - 12:12 PM I don't worry about the "competition" because there is none. Folkies don't do that routine. The thing that worries me is my voice may fail. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: Celtic Soul Date: 17 Aug 02 - 11:08 AM Wow, Kendall! That *is* a stellar line-up (to include yourself). Good on ye, mate! I know how sometimes things can be intimidating, but if you got in, then folks thought you were worthy of it! Relax all you can and have faith in *other peoples* faith in you (even if your own in yourself may be racked with nerves). |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: kendall Date: 17 Aug 02 - 10:37 AM Jerry, I wish I thought so! Jeri, I'll give you a full accounting of the disaster/ show. Spaw, I shoulda known. Surely you have heard of "losing your ass in the market"? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 17 Aug 02 - 10:08 AM You'll be fine, Kendall! I can understand why Gordon, David and Dan would be nervous, though, having to follow you. They probably didn't sleep at all. :-) Jerry |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: catspaw49 Date: 17 Aug 02 - 10:02 AM You're debutting yourself in public? What the hell is that anyway? Frankly it sounds really painful and possibly humiliating but if it's your thing, I say go for it. I'm curious though as to how you go about such a thing......and why. Removing your ass seems to be a significant modification to your body and one for which I can see no reason. Like most caucasian males, you're probably lacking in the ass department to begin with, but removing whatever pathetic and shriveled up ass you have left just seems a bit over the top to me. And why do it in public? I think you need to reconsider your decision here. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: Hippie Chick Date: 17 Aug 02 - 09:55 AM and I second Bobert's prayer. You'll bowl 'em over. HC |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: Jeri Date: 17 Aug 02 - 09:51 AM Kendall, I'd like to hear you You'll be fine, Kendall. Despite recent problems with your voice, you're an 'old pro' whom people respect and love and THAT'S why you'll be on that stage. You'll be fine. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: katlaughing Date: 17 Aug 02 - 08:54 AM Kendall, just pay attention to your auld bod and you will know if you are pushing it too far. Nobody else will know but you, though...you've too many years as a pro at this for anyone else to have a clue. And, may I say "WOW!" That's quite a line-up, Capt.! Take deep breaths, blow them out slowly and Enjoy! Congratulations! luvyakat |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: kendall Date: 17 Aug 02 - 08:31 AM Thanks folks, I just hope I'm not pushing it too far. Micca, I'd love to have that CD! If mailing it is a hassle, give it to Morticia; she can bring it over in October. Or, are you planning to come to the Getaway again this year? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: Bobert Date: 17 Aug 02 - 08:22 AM You'll do just fine, my friend. Just do what you feel comfortable doing. I'll say a little prayer fir yam just for safe measures... Bobert |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: CapriUni Date: 17 Aug 02 - 07:39 AM :::Grinning::: I'd wish you good luck -- but that would imply you need it. And you don't. You've got enough skill and strength, and patience to fill three buckets of luck! So instead, I'll wish you: Good Pluck! |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: gnu Date: 17 Aug 02 - 07:12 AM "...it could be embarassing." No way. You have absolutely nothing to be embarassed about. |

Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's public debut From: Morticia Date: 17 Aug 02 - 06:39 AM I will keep everything crossed (which should make for an interesting day).Let us know how it went,yes? |
