jeri - "Jeez...what was I thinking? Adult supervision? Jacqui? Oy.?"

Thank you for the wonderful compliment.

Yer welcome Jacqui, but I was only trying to wriggle myself out of the inadvertent insult. I figure the stages of life are 1) being a kid and needing supervision, 2) acting like an adult and attempting to supervise others, with or without their appreciation, 3) acting like an adult but wishing you could act like a kid, and 4) aw, the heck with rules - I'm gonna have some fun! The faster a person can go from 1) to 4), the happier they are, I believe.

Call it what, Mick? I don't know where you're going with that, but you're probably in trouble.

I've made the tough decison to leave behind the banjo and the hi-tuned backpacker (just have too mu gear for the plane rides up and back).

Kendall threatened to bring along his banjo, so maybe I could borrow it for a song or two ....

It should be a good trip, and i am really looking forward to visiting at Sinsull's.

See ya soon!

Well, damn it. Tinker and I are on the way out of Sins' driveway right now. I've fallen in love with Portland/South Portland, and would cheerfully stay for this if I could. You're going to have a grand time, Jed (and all!).

Sorry.

I know I can't do this twice in a month, but I just noticed that on the 13th he'll be in my hometown. Hmmm, well I can try to work something out... it's only half the distance. Maybe folks will be a little healthier then. But I won't get to see Jeri that way.... UGH IF we could just get that clone thing up and working and Bert's credit card working outside the Tavern......

Have a great time all....

Yes it's got to be a no. The budget and the family just won't stretch for another jaunt.
MMario, I thought he was out this way, but his web site doesn't have it listed and the list here is only New England. Ideas ????

YES!!! I'll be there!!! I have to find out where "there" is, but I'll leave early. I hope to get directions from Batty or Mudge before I leave. Until next week, I'm relying on the kindness of of the strange (how I Blanche at the thought) because my computer ate its 3rd modem and I'm not feeding it any more. I needed a new computer anyway.

I've had a great visit in NYC with my son and his wife over the last two days. My NJ pub gig fell through (bummer) and there was not enough time to replace it with another - so I've been forced to take a vacation!

I did tape a radio show with Bill Hahn at WFDU while I was here, though - he's a good guy, it's a nice station (lotsa cool gear with great studios) and we had a lot of fun doing the show. I will put up a Mudcat notice as soon as I find out when the show is to be aired (WFDU webcasts too).

I am heading out shortly for the Windham NY festival. The details are on my calendar at jedmarum.com - if anyone's looking for 'em. This look like a great event.

I am hopeful the planes are flying regularly on next Thu for this House Concert. I am scheduled to pick up my wife before I head to Maine - so the timing should be perfect - but you know how these things go ... I may be there solo! I've told her so many stories about Kendall, that I'm surprised she was willing to risk showing up with me! LOL

... actually she loved Kendall's recordings. There's no accounting for taste, I guess!

I hope she does make it because I'd like her to meet some of my other Mudcat friends too ... I believe she thinks Jeri and SINSULL and others are all just imaginary freinds!


see y'all soon

As a former Southwest Airlines employee, Jed, I assume you know about the Providence (RI) airport as a preferable alternative to Boston Logan, which is nightmare to drive to and from.

I'm especially aware of Providence because Southwest flies there nonstop from New Orleans, the only airline to do so and (of course) the least expensive, too. It's a nice little airport, conveniently located on a relatively quiet stretch of interstate highway.

Of course, it may be a bit out of the way when the ultimate destination is "down east," which really means "way up north." But when traveling to Connecticut, Cape Cod, or even the city of Boston itself, Providence is a better flight-destination than Logan any day.

Hey, what are the chances of getting a recording of the event? CD or video? Make some copies and send em out to those of us that can't make it and naturally make us pay through the nose for them and give the money to Jed's favorite charity!

Just an thought...

The risk is if she shows up WITHOUT you, Jed. He's a dangerous man...

I had a nice turn out in Cambridge last night. Surprising for a Monday night ... felt a little bad about folks coming out some distance for a 40 minute set - but we had fun, and it was nice to see some long time, old friends.

I am really looking forawrd to Portland and will be glad to share the rest of the trip with Lou.

See y'all soon!

I sure wish I could be there with you, buddy. But I am enjoying this vicariously. Unfortunately I can't make the house concert, it is just a little too far for someone who has to be at work the next day. I really wanted to try so I could finally meet Lou, and share a song or two with you.

All the best,

Mick

Mario, you should be so relieved that Mary and I didn't "really" know Jacqui before we planned our first wedding reception. Those long lines of women in black veils and neon boas might have made it out of the planning stage. But being the wise woman she is, Jacqui usually shares her good fortune very well.   Well this time she's just pushing her luck a tad bit.... Miss you all...

I have to find something to do until it's time to leave. I SHOULD mow the lawn. I SHOULD change the strings on my guitar, but I sound better with dead ones. I SHOULD make food, but it's too flippin' hot here...and humid, and the air's deader than my strings (or that last lobster that hid behind the pickle jar in the fridge). I'm becalmed in the doldrums of August. But the car's got air conditioning and the CD player still works. So, in about 3.5 hours or so, I'll be on my way.

Jeri - why don't you go for a nice long drive with the CD player and air conditioner? Then you can arrive cool calm and collected.

Or take a book out to the car, sit in the driveway and listen to cool music for a while?

We've just got back from a small but select gathering who enjoyed a wonderful concert from Jed. Kendall supplied backing on some of his numbers and a really good time was had by all.

Now aren't you sorry that you didn't travel that few hundred miles just to be there?

The sixth hundred wouldn't be much fun either. Chili, sausage-pepper-onion concoction, and apple pie. Hmmm. A little ice cream with the pie and even a short drive home might be a killer.

They are all gone. Jacqui is helping me move furniture back.
Jed was a joy! He sang for 3+ hours with just a short break. His banjola has the most wonderful sound - almost as good as the banjo. It was fun to see Kendall and Jed playing together while Jeri picked up harmony. And Jacqui sang while Kendall played.

I am hurt that she did not share her joy at my birthday gift to her. I guess she really didn't like it. HARUMPH!

Lu looks like Jed's child bride. A beautiful lady. She suits him and him her. They're welcome back anytime.

Thanks to all who made the evening special.
