Ron, wonderful!

To tell you the honest truth, I don't think I took the CDs all that seriously. It was a nice little project to raise money, and I thought most of the people who would hear and buy the CDs would be Mudcatters. I never dreamed they'd be getting airplay on a NYC radio show. If I had, I would have been too chicken to send anything.

And Rick Fielding's closing the show!!!

Lovely show! Thanks, Ron, for airing the Mudcat CDs on your show, and thanks to Amos for explaining it all.

Cheers,
Michael

I hope he plugs the CAMSCO distro. I've refreshed the thread on Ordering in case any newcomers wander in looking for the information.

FANTASTIC! A perfectly perfect radio program. Great job and high fives to Ron and Amos for providing the best hour in radio listening that I've had the pleasure of enjoying in a long time.
Fine job and well done fellers!

Excellent, and thanks to 'Total Recorder' I have it archived.

Much appreciation to all involved. Heck, I might even buy a CD! *big grin*

For what it is worth, i have also written to National Public Radio's "All Songs Considered" department describing the CDs and the Cat and Ron's program, to see if they'd be interested in following up on the story.

Thank you all for listening and for your kind words. Amos was a wonderful guest, he spoke eloquently about Mudcat and this CD project.

I want to say it again, I really think this CD project captures the spirit of an old-fashioned sing.   Everyone coming together to share new songs and sing old favorites. I truly see this set as being a great "tool" to help perpetuate folk music, much in the same spirit as the Harry Smith anthology had in the 1950's. Granted that was a different animal, it served as an introduction to folk music for many people.   The Mudcat set is a living "document" that shows folk music is alive and well and there are great songs in each of us waiting to be shared.

I can't wait for Vol. 6!!!

Thanks again to everyone! It was wonderful to know that many of you were listening in today. It was an honor to present this program.

Ron

Should anyone wander through looking for ordering information, it can be found by clicking here. Because WFMU WFDU is a non-commercial station they had to be very conservative about pointers to sales sites, even though this is a legitimate non-profit purpose.

At the top of this thread you will find links to all prior discussions on the subject of the Mudcat Sampler CD Series, also known as the Blue Plate Special.

WFDU Amos! WFMU is another local station. WFUV is also in the area.   Too many stations with W, F and U in the call letters! (No FU jokes please!)

We do have a link to CAMSCO as well as Mudcat on our Traditions webpage.

It's been a long evening. I have spent the last several hours trying to talk ole Tweedster down from the top of the Tower. After hearing the webcast, he climb up there screamin' "I doan wann live enymoar", (but I noticed he stopped a few minutes on the first section to see if Retha May was taking another shower!)

We tried bribery, blackmail and deceit, but that didn't have much effect. It was only after ole Bobert told him that Ron Otasco played "Mudcat Wimmin" after the program went of the air that he finally calmed down. But he still refused to come down, until I used my Kingly authority and commanded him to come down.

Bobert and P-Vine are with him now, talking smooth and sweet to him and slipping him a few mickeys.

I think he will be Okay by tomorrow.

If he has anymore fits, we are going to ship him to Amos!

Dere Mr.Olaskew,
Pay no attention to that fool Royal madman's ramblings az I finally got to heer Kendall sing an' that made me reel happy inside. I ain't one for sea shantys but if they all sing az good az Kendall can, I guess shanty music is alright by me.

The boys and me wuz purdy tore up for a while from not gettin' to heer arselfs on the radio, but az some wizend person sed, "Necessity iz the mother of all evil" or sumthin close on to that, and we are gonna see about switching ar new antenaae over soze it kin Broadcast instead of jest recieve. This way we kin send out Khandu/Boberzd/Tweedathon music 24 hours a day. Yore inspiration haz changed ar lives forever and we thank you mightily fer it and feer not az we'll only trouble yew in the future for some polaroids of th wirin' at yore transmitter so we kin get an idee of how that works afore we dive in this thing willy nilly.

Yerz faithfuly,
Tweedzrz

Ron and Amos, it was a lovely program (and I was very honored to be a part of it). From the articulate descriptions you both provided, I think listeners could gain a good sense of what Mudcat is about and what it can provide. Ron, your questions for Amos about the CD series were just the sort of questions people would be curious about. Bravo!

I had two friends over. Since I'm about ten miles out of listening range (where I am, 89.1 pulls in a station from God-knows-where all about fishing--honest!), we gathered around the ol' laptop and had ourselves a nice time just listening. It felt very traditional, despite the newer technology. Thanks.

FDU teams are the Knights, not the Rams. Never have been anything else.
