the 47th annual florida folk festival is scheduled May 28,29 and 30, 1999 at the Stephen Foster State Folk Culture Center, White Springs, Fl. Never been, but health permitting, planning on being their. I need to get a mudcat t-shirt quick for me and da bride. Not promoting da thing, but see www.flheritage.com/folkfest/. Anybody plan on attending. I live in lakeland,fl and plan on taking the RV for a trip.

Hello, homeboy. I am originally from Lakeland, but live in Winter Haven these days. Do you know Joe Prine? Joe is an old friend who promotes folk and acoustic music around Lakeland. I had planned to go to the Florida Folk Festival this year, but my plans have fallen through. You are destined to have a great time. Lift a cold one in memory of Gamble, Paul, Jim, and Will. Ron.

I'll be there, and I'll be performing, AND I'll be wearing my bright blue, spanking new Mudcat Tee-Shirt. Saturday, starting at noon (and continuing all afternoon)at the River Gazebo is Florida Songwriters time. I'll be on at 3:00, and will be accompanying my friend Al Scortino immediately after my set. It would be my honor to spend some time with any 'catters in the vicinity!

I knew I shoulda moved south when I turned sixty-five, like the law demands. Scofflaw that I be, I'm settling for Old Songs up near Albany, NY. I was born in Jacksonville, but did my serious time in Palatka! Wrong river, I guess. So have fun, you 'Catters. Wish we could join you there.

Harpgirl:

I'll be camping at the Suwanee Valley Campgroup just next to the Folklife Center...yes, will be there Thursday night and will likely invade the on-site campground in the evening. Let me know about where you'll be and I'll try to find you.

While your down there, use a penny scale. Then you can say that you:

Had a weigh down on the Suwanee River.

Sorry, just had to do it.

fadac -- that went weigh over my head! PETE -- Good for your Mom, and good for you! Harpgirl -- That shirt's much too new and pretty to rip up yet, but youll be able to recognize me as the walking sweat stain toting a gig bag.

Whey down upon the Suwanee River......
