Just to refresh my memory and ear buds of voices and personas before the Getawy I've been listening again to the Mudcat CDs that were issued a couple of years ago. And like before, I'm blown away.

There are such lovely voices and songs and tunes on each of them. I love them.

I hate even to mention favorites among them but off the top of my head there are some that leap out at me:

Justa Picker's picking. Justa, you are fantastic. I wish you were coming to the Getaway.

Sandy Paton, I love the way you do 'When You and I Were Young'. Toward the end of his life, it was my brother's favo(u)rit ite song so listening to it sung so beautifully is a poignant thing to me.

Rick Fielding, for his vibrant voice and vital energy. Damn. I wish I had met him.

I'd better stop, or I'll have to mention every one of you! You done good.

Folks, if you don't have this set of five in your collection, you're missing out.

Yep. Good job, Amos. Maxie's Mudcat Blues is still powerful.

Not to fear, Beaubear. It is not as clear a recording as it could be but we know where to go for the source. :)

(Whatta you mean- you're not still enamored by this joint?? I am.)

They are NOT to be missed. When I really miss "Giac" (Mary Giaccomini) I can always listen to her beautiful, sweet voice and her lovely song. I love all of the CDs!!

I know, kat. I love Giac's voice - and spirit - on Jesus in the Clouds. It captures so honestly and compassionately and acceptingly a period of life I wish she herself could have reached. We've lost a lot of people in these years. 'Tis a mystery, indeed.
