I'm playing sound techie (4th class trainee) at the kid's stage as well as organising the story telling castle in Folk Play. Any other Mudcatters planning on showing up? I'll be in Folk Play during the days. For info on the program click here. |

You are an especially fine traditional singer (and I know you don't toot your own horn) and I was wondering if Mariposa has ever asked you to play officially. Rick |

03 Jul 01 - 10:03 PM (#497945) Subject: RE: Mariposa Festival 2001, Orillia From: sophocleese Umm... this year they decided not to have a stage for local performers. Instead they asked people to submit demos for their consideration for spots on the main stage. Out of all the submissions they chose 10 to be shown in a Talent showcase where judges and audience would choose 6 out of the 10. I don't have a demo and, at that time, the duo that I am half of was suspended for re-thinking so I didn't submit anything. I can't be asked if they don't know me so I've never been asked. I need to work on getting a demo together. Thanks for asking.

This weekend I'll be storytelling and playing recorder but not singing (on stage at any rate). big joe mufferlaw, Friday night has J.P. Cormier, Danny Michel, Tegan and Sara, Staggered Crossing, and Valdy and Gary Fjellgaard. Yo can decide if you like that or not. I'll be there in the audience somewhere. |

The painkillers made me very fuzzy.) from seeing the beginning of the festival. Seems to be going well JP Cormier did a lovely job on some tunes up there. Hope I'll be better tomorrow when I need to be. See soem of you there! |

I had a better day today. No free booze in the performer's area this year but free Massage Therapy! Oh boy that felt nice and the guy showed me a couple of good stretches to use in the future to avoid a repeat. I got to hear Kate Rusby live tonight and she was lovely, really really lovely. |
