15 May 01 - 08:25 AM (#462650) Subject: Doug R. Is A Saint! From: guinnesschik I just thought everyone should know. Doug put us up as we travelled through Phoenix. The trip had been particularly rough through El Paso, resulting in the loss of a tent, loss of sleep and more red grit in everything than I've ever seen before. Doug fed us, gave us a place to sleep, and even planned a jam session for us. Durn, Doug...we shoulda stayed in Phoenix a little longer, instead of running off to Albuquerque. We had so much fun, and just can't think of enough nice things to say. Thanks so very much for making the trip so much more special.

15 May 01 - 01:52 PM (#462924) Subject: RE: Doug R. Is A Saint! From: JedMarum Doug's a great cook. He fed us well, in deed! I felt a bit like a college student only home for a quick weekend, uses the washer/dryer, eats all the food, says a quick hello and leaves a suddenly as he arrives! We had a lot of driving to do, and got into Phoenix just in time to take a quick shower, eat a fine bowl or Doug's Guinness Stew (well, some of us might have had two bowls), then we were off to Fiddler's Dream. Doug had invited a number of his friends for an after show party/meal and a bit of a jam. One of those friends was Todd Halliwell, who is truly a worldclass finger style guitarist - with a superb new Lowden. We had a great time trading tunes and swapping yarns - until there was almost no point in going to bed because we had to head out for Albuquerque. It was definately the highlight of the trip, Doug - certainly more fun then having the West Texas desert wind shred the tent from around me at 2AM! |

15 May 01 - 04:23 PM (#463032) Subject: RE: Doug R. Is A Saint! From: catspaw49 Hmmmm...........That helps some Leej. I'm beginning to see the Dashboard Statuary. Tall guy with a bit of a gut and a little apron (kinda' masonic like), with a George W. Bush Skimmer, a Mudcat T-Shirt, guitar over one shoulder, bodhran on the other, two whistles hanging from his belt (one a Low D), and he's eating a slice of Quiche. I think we definitely go with the "Glow-In-The-Dark" plastic and the velcro dash mount. What about the little spring thing so he bobs around? Think that's too much? We could go with both the Dash and Rear Window Models and of course the large, indoor, Mantel size. Whaddaya' think? Spaw |

Spaw, I like the idea of it bobbing around. Maybe at some point it could bob down into a bowl of Guinness or something. Rick, Bill Craig, I'm sure would be surprised at nothing you reported. DougR |
