Good for you, Sidewalk Bob. Way to keep on keepin' on.

I must apologize for earlier having pooh-poohed any concerns about Katrina's effect on Thaxton and environs. Amazingly, the storm really DID have a serious impact well into north Mississippi, but bad as it was (and still is, I suppose), it's a mere inconvenience compared to the life-and-death stuff going on down home in NO.

Hope y'all catliks and prosstints work out yer differences. It was starting to sound a bit like the north of Ireland for a while there...

Yeah, I'm fine... Made it down here to Thaxton, Mississippi yesterday mornin' an me and Mississipppi Tom done spent the last day an'a half in his Mud Creek Stdio, which I have renamed the Litlle Tater Barn Studio (different story...)...

Well, I done good and we got 25 ssongs down... Now they need session players to come in and fill 'um up wid percussion, bassm harmonica and the like but I is done and I is beat...

Tomorrow is the Howlin' Wolf Festival in West Pont, Mississisppi tnen saturday they got another festival o' sorts in West Point with over 400 venders which I'm lookin[' forward to...

Then, maybe, just maybe, a little of Otha's Turner's annual "goat roast"... Nah, ain't eatin' no goat... Maybe play a little music... Maybe drenk a few cold beers'... Maybe tell a few lies... Bit ain't no lie that I ain't eatin' no goat....

BTW, when you all see Mississippi Tom comin' 'round, he's the real deal and wants to do some some interestin' stuff with folk muscians so you all keep an open mind if he comes 'round offerin' somethin' that sounds too good to be true.... It's the real deal...

Bobert, if you read this from on the road, it's time to go home. There's no point in trying to go to Mississippi to make a recording now. Too many people have their minds, hearts, and resources in other areas right now. Help out a little while you're in town if you get that far, then head back to Virginia while you still can afford the gas to get you there. And we'll look forward to an opportunity in the future when you can try that trip again.

Sorry about all of this. But it's just too big, isn't it?

Tell the P-Vine hello from us when you get back home.

Gonna give me only one day to record, that is if my buddy with the studio made it through today... I talked wid him this mornin' but ain't had no luck in gettin' thru since then...

Then, hopefully the Howlin' Wolf Blues Festival on Friday in West Point, Ms. will come off... If not, maybe the Otha Turner "Goat Roast" in Como, Ms. will come off... Not that I gonna eat no goat, mind you, but everybody comes to that picnic and lotts good Misissippi bluesmen come to play...

Now, I reckon seein' as I is supposed to be usin' my brother-in-law's pudder fir checkin' on my flight and Iz been on it fir half an hour now I reckon I oughtta me a good guest and go down and listen to a couple more hours of his monolgues about various troop movements??? Never knew that Stonewall Jackson was one of Napolean's generals??? The boy gets confuzed about his wars but sho nuff knows lots about this kinda stuff...

Golly! I certainly am hoping that our neighbors, including Bobert, in the path of K's winds are safe. Perhaps it IS a good idea to send help through the Red Cross or other organizations. Blood donations may be needed, also. We might also check with our own home religious facilities, since most likely, various churches/temples/synagogues will be in touch with their denominations/friends through the storm areas & will help them meet the needs of the folks hit by the storm. Just imagine if all 'Catters put forth the hand of friendship to those in the storm's path--everyone who needs assistance would probably get it!

2. Bobert is about 400 miles due North of Orleans and the storm will drift to the east while losing strength-already down somewhat.

3. Bobert/Katrina "drifted" into Theology and name calling. Why can't we address the peresons' comments rather than the the persons' character.

Well, you might have noticed from the reports out of New Orleans, they tilt towards Rome. And I believe there is quite a difference between Protestant and Catholic attitudes towards meeting community needs.

My very Catholic sister isn't evacuating--staying behind in the path of the eye in downtown New Orleans, to stay with a colleague who just had heart surgery, and two elderly nuns too frail to be moved. In fact, Tulane/Xavier Universities are staying put (much to my dismay). Not only are there many students already there with no place to go (they can't get into the Superdome), and they plan on helping with rescue and clean up as soon as the storm ends. The Campus Police this afternoon estimated around 175 students and staff at Xavier, and around 225 at Tulane, who will ride it out on campus.

Sorry, darlin, if I may have offended, but, dang!!!... seriously, your church needs ta "clear" people in a hurricane?

Of course they will help people in a hurricane, but probably not advance them dough for a new car, tuck them into their own family beds, and treat them like close kin-- which is how a fellow pastor's family WOULD be treated. If Bobert needs help he can't handle on his own, it will be BIG help (he can handle near about anything his own self), and that's what I offered. ANd if the Catholic church would do that too-- hey, great!

I'll be evacuating out of New Orleans in a few hours, heading north into Mississippi, but not nearly as far north as where Bobert's gonna be. We'll still be safe enough.

The Delta/Memphis area is FAR inland. They'll get a hell of a rainstorm, but Katrina won't be a hurricane any more by the time it gets that far north. There will be evacuees driving that far north, perhaps adding a little more trarric than normal, but that should be it.

Also, I-55 is northbound in both directions only in Louisiana and a few miles into Mississippi (as far as Belhaven or so, I believe), and only until about 4pm today (Sunday).

Now, the storm will affect almost as much of Mississippi as Louisiana, but that's the GULF COAST, hundreds of miles south of Thaxton. In fact, the Mississippi Gulf Coast will be on the "wrong" side of the eye and probably sustain as much wind damage as anywhere in Louisiana and almost as much flooding.

You are aware that during major hurricane evacuations like this one Interstate 55 through Mississippi is closed to southbound traffic and all four lanes are made northbound? You may have to take US 51 south from Memphis. If you do, expect traffic to be bad as it will be carrying all the southbound traffic 55 usually carries. And if the weather gets bad enough that you have to pull off the highway, don't park under trees. Katrina's already killed people by dropping trees onto their parked cars.

Well, gol dangit...

Look like when I made my palns to do 3 days of recordin' in Mississippi back in March I din't know that I'd be arrivin' in Memphis and rentin' a subcompact (without oars...) and be drivin' stright down Highway 55 into the teeth of a danged herricane but...

...looks like that is the story...

Well, ahhhh, too late now so, hey, the Lord looks after fools and kids an' with that double coverage, I should be jus' fine... An' yes, I can swim... Wsa a life guard back when...

But, boy, I wish I could fast forward gettin' to Thaxton, Mississippi...

Did I mention that I'll be stayin' in a trailer while down there???
