The fabulous Meat Brothers Fielding Music Adventures will begin in about two weeks and of course, I still haven't done my homwework (I never could color inside the lines). But I digress. Who are the Meat Brothers, you ask and are they Fielding an adventure - or are they adventuring with a Fielding? A good question, in deed! Mick? Rick? Can you help me sort this out? ... now, as to the homework, gentelmen we may just have to wing it! I can't seem to get out of my own way to complete a tape. Ya know, ya can't rush into these things! |

24 Jan 02 - 10:34 AM (#634598) Subject: RE: Meat Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: JedMarum ooops! Look like I got the name wrong. It shouldda been Beef Brothers. There is a comment in the very first post to this thread. |

24 Jan 02 - 10:44 AM (#634604) Subject: RE: Meat Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: Rick Fielding Apparently Jed hasn't GOT a clue! However I think what he means is that He's coming to stay with us in Toronto for a few days, starting Feb. 11. During this time I'm gonna try and introduce him to a few potential new Canadian fans, get him into Mudcatter Paul Mills studio to record a song or two, and get him live on the radio (Acoustic Workshop) in the flesh (and he's got plenty of it). Now rumour has it that Michigan Mick is gonna flack for our boy around his turf as well, the week before. If Mick can free himself from dinner engagements and policy making power meetings with Al Gore, and The Pope, he may just accompany Jed to Toronto. We figure having it appear that Jed needs a bodyguard (just like Mariah Carey) can only be good for his career! Heather is already reeling at the possiblity of having THREE big goofballs inhabiting our little house...'cause generally ONE has been enough...but we'll squeeze 'em in. We'll make sure that Jed (or Ari Fleisher) keeps ya posted . Cheers Rick |

Well, Mudcatters will just have to watch this thread to find out! ... poor Heather. The things her man gets her into! |

24 Jan 02 - 10:59 AM (#634613) Subject: RE: Beef Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: JedMarum ... do you really think Mariah Carey would be my body guard? |

24 Jan 02 - 11:05 AM (#634618) Subject: RE: Beef Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: MMario no - he's getting you a bodyguard just likeMariah - sortofa "clone" - so you will have to inspect her very closely to make sure there are no defects. |

24 Jan 02 - 12:17 PM (#634669) Subject: RE: Beef Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: catspaw49 Why do I suspect there is not enough food in Toronto to cover this onslaught? I'm sure there will be plenty of music, but you can't eat an eighth note. I predict that within two days of arrival there will be a run on the supermarkets and by day three, Mick and Jed will be hungry enough to eat the ass out of a leprechaun. Heather, please stock up now as this scenario can only become more grim. Spaw |

Thanks for reminding me of the "picture I wish I had..." of you on stage at the Getaway, with the "Incredible Beef Brothers" standing behind you!!!!! and what exaggerated the effect was your compact guitar... It (and they)made you (NOI) look even SMALLER!!!! The music, however was superb... and if a recording of "Feilding and the Beef bros" is in the offing, I am interested, BTW If They eat you out of house and home and you need food parcels let us know.. |

I have longer hair than Mariah, bigger boobs, and I can sing in about three and a half octaves. (The singing bit is actually a martial art known as "sung fu." Would-be assaulters run off in fear, with fingers jammed into their bleeding ears.) I was (sniff) rejected. Seriously, just get Big Mick a suit, a diamond earring and some CIA shades, and everything will be fine. Seriously...no, wait - I mean it this time! Have fun guys! Hope we all get a Mudcat "play-by-play." |

I can't wait for the fecking border crossing when my "little" brother Jed and I cross over the Blue Water Bridge. I can see it all now. 15 or so instruments, the whistles, .............. and the look on the guards face when they try to figure out what the hell my uillean pipes are. I think I had better leave those home or we may not make it in.

MMario - I think we need you too, to sort of balance us out and bolster the 'size' thing. Joe brings up a good point - we are not going into Canada to work, just to play music with our friend Rick, so no work permits are required - but what are required at the border these days for ID. I've let my passport expire. I presume my photo driver's license, a birth certificate, voter reg card, will be OK?? I was planning to bring a few instruments. I wanted to bring my Santa Cruz along - just to show it off, really - plus I need my Larrivee and banjo ... harmonicas ... Mick will have an ax or two. I guess we'll be loaded for bear when we cross. And two handsome, large sized fellows like us would hardly be noticed, never mind spotted as unusual at the border - even long haired as we may be ... would we?? |

25 Jan 02 - 11:14 AM (#635282) Subject: RE: Beef Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: Steve Latimer You won't need a Passport. Photo ID will suffice. My relatives are in the U.S. and they have come up here with all kinds of musical instruments, heck they even had an Amp, P.A., and electic guitars and Basses. (I host a gathering, Latimerpalooza that this gear was for). They have been asked about it and have just said that they were playing a family party and there has never been a problem. My sister has had two guitars in airplane and when asked has said she is just playing with her cousins and it hasn't been an issue. Me? I have even less to worry about. I know that if they ever pursue the fact that I have my Five String in the car, all I have to do is take it out and play it, they'll know that I'm not going into the U.S. to earn money from my playing. |

25 Jan 02 - 04:49 PM (#635560) Subject: RE: Beef Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: Jeri They didn't ask me for any identification at the border. They asked a bunch of questions. (Jed, try to remember that your citizenship isn't "Texas." "US" would be the most appropriate answer.) Jed, you really might need a bodyguard. If you guys were to get stuck in traffic long enough, you might turn into the Donner party. Maybe you wanna rethink the name "Beef Brothers" to something less food-related? |

As the legal representatives of the NALALGFG, I am posting this here as well as sending it by certified mail in the hopes that you will take this as a serious warning and not cause other steps to be taken. Specifically, Mr. Lane, having a deep background in Unions, will respect our client's wishes in this matter. The NALALGFG boasts a membership of over 6827 members in North America and pursuant to statements made here, we have put you on our "Watch" list. A restraining order has not been issued at this time, but we have Should any of you act upon our membership in any way regardless of circumstance you will be held liable and both criminal and civil litigation will follow. I hope this is clear to you and you will see the seriousness with which we take threats made against the NALALGFG membership. It is my most fervent hope that this letter will be enough and we can consider the matter closed. Regards,

26 Jan 02 - 06:34 PM (#636299) Subject: RE: Beef Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: Jeri Spaw, I'm not sure what you're saying about Mr. Flywheel's concerns, but I'm afraid of what you're implying about Big Mick. The Leprechaun's green legs aren't ham - he would not eat a little man! I think he likely would, instead, go for convenience and eat Jed. Maybe later, when from hunger he feels sick, he'd get to Toronto and eat Rick. |

26 Jan 02 - 09:39 PM (#636421) Subject: RE: Beef Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: GUEST,Rufus T. Flywheel We were first alerted to the possible problems here through reading the post of one catspaw49 in which he states: "Mick and Jed will be hungry enough to eat the ass out of a leprechaun." Should either Mr. Lane or Mr. Marum wish to consider the other as a rack of pork chops or a sirloin roast, we have no objection, but should they in any way attempt to eat the ass out of any NALALGFG members they will be charged in criminal court and subject to civil liabilty suits.

27 Jan 02 - 04:26 PM (#636755) Subject: RE: Beef Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: Big Mick HEY FLYWHEEL!!! Tell your wee friends and clientele that neither they nor Marum, nor Fielding have anything to worry about. While there are several Mudcatters whose nether regions I would be happy to give serious scrutiny to, it isn't either of these fella's......................LOL. But......Jed.... We are going to have to make sure that we pack a few snacks.........just til we get to Heather's Home cookin' and Music Emporium. But...........we are taking a trip to Elderly the day before, so the likelyhood of either of us having any money left is remote. Mick |

27 Jan 02 - 11:02 PM (#636943) Subject: RE: Beef Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: JedMarum ... been in Louisiana the last couple of days. No leprechauns there, but plenty of good food! Now I had little green legs for dinner on my last trip to Canada, but they were frogs legs, and that was in Montreal - I don't suppose the Torontoans (now there's a word) are quite so crass as to serve frog legs!

|
28 Jan 02 - 12:21 PM (#637162) Subject: RE: Beef Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: Rick Fielding Jed, there are a lot of restaurants in Toronto that serve Frogs legs. Generally you'll be paying about about 130.00 (American) per complete meal...and those are NOT considered the really expensive places. We'll probably suggest the Chinese Buffet...Crab legs, Oysters, and lotsa other stuff for about 8 bucks a head. Damn! I wish freelance folkies had expense accounts! Rick P.S. We had home-made haggis, and Beef and Mushroom pie last night, to celebrate Robby Burns Night for Heather...and guess what? The Haggis was DELICIOUS! Perhaps in honour of Mick we may have potatoes. Nothin' else....just potatoes! Rick |
|
28 Jan 02 - 12:33 PM (#637167) Subject: RE: Beef Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: catspaw49 Jed, I had another conversation with Flywheel and he suggests that you stay away from anything labeled "Frog Legs." Rick quotes a ridiculous price from which you can tell that these are, in fact, NOT frog legs. If you want frog legs, stop by here as they are in abundant supply locally as I know they are in Texas. I'm tellin' you these Leprchauns are serious!!! Any GREEN legs you had were NOT frog and according to Flywheel, were probably previously attached to the ass of a Leprechaun. Go for the Lo Mein! Spaw |

28 Jan 02 - 12:33 PM (#637168) Subject: RE: Beef Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: Big Mick HEY........HEY..........C'MON, GUYS!!!!.......You did save some of that haggis for me, didncha????? Great as leftovers, but then there are those that say that the ingredients for haggis were leftovers to begin with.....(((LOL))). Damn,......and beef and mushrooms to boot. You guys got your timetables screwed up, Rick. This stuff is supposed to be served when Jed and I get there. Oh well..........I love Chinese buffet, too. Especially the seafood. Jed, I will limit my instrumentation to a bouzouki, a 12 string, and maybe a bodhran. Wait, skip the bodhran.........it will never make it past the border check. Mick |

28 Jan 02 - 12:37 PM (#637170) Subject: RE: Beef Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: catspaw49 Mick, I'm sure Rick can find something moldy and nasty in the back of his fridge that's been there for a year or two that would pass for leftover haggis. Rick, if not, let me know and I'll send you something out of my fridge. Spaw |
|
28 Jan 02 - 10:41 PM (#637558) Subject: RE: Beef Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: JedMarum LOL. I'm already enjoying this trip and it hasn't even started yet! Rick - I can get pretty good and reasonably priced frog legs in Texas, so if I get the urge I'll just drive to down to Houston (Dallasites find them to be a bit too beneath them). 'course with Spaw's warnings, I probably need to steer clear of them anyway ... and I'm with you Mick; haggis would be just fine w'me! Now as for Elderley, I'm thinkin' if I offer my Santa Cruz and my Vega, maybe they'd see fit to sending us off to Toronto with one of those Bob Brozman Baritones! |

I have had dinner with Mick and I can tell he didn't eat the stuffed grape leaves. I also must add that mixing Guiness with Beef Chuarma, Tabooli, flat bread and humous was gastronomically a daring move but Mick was up to the challenge. Still, he stopped at the grape leaves. Don |

29 Jan 02 - 12:21 AM (#637605) Subject: RE: Beef Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: GUEST,Rufus T. Flywheel Dear Ms. alison, I would like to point out to you that as a fine Irish lass, it would behoove you to ignore the lame attempts of Mr. Lane as he is on the "Watch" list of the the North American Leprechaun And Little Green Fuckers Guild for eating the ass out of a leprechaun, all of his protestations to the contrary. My firm represents the NALALGF and we would advise you not associate with this individual. I would also like to say that I have found this Catspaw person to be a stellar individual and worthy of your time and communications. Unlike Mr. Lane he is eminently trustworthy and would, I'm sure, sign an affadavit to the effect that he would restrict his ass eating to you alone should you so desire. Best Regards, Rufus T. Flywheel |

01 Feb 02 - 04:30 PM (#640212) Subject: RE: Beef Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: DougR Heather: I think you should insist that Jed bring you some good Texas smoked ribs, or beef brisket when he comes to Toronto. He could drop by Sonny Bryans or Dickie's or, heck, I'll bet he knows lots of good barbeque joints in Big D he could visit before making the trip. Smoked meat dosn't freeze well, but if he's flying it should still be pretty good by the time he gets there. DougR |

01 Feb 02 - 10:43 PM (#640385) Subject: RE: Beef Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: Rick Fielding On the other hand you COULD bring us a wee bag of Grits. Can't get 'em here. Sadly, we finally got winter two days ago. On the other hand, the weather's been so weird, the snow may have all thawed by the time you get here. Mudcatters, make sure you listen to Jed in the flesh (with a bit of Big Mick...who's also pretty fleshy) on the radio, Monday night (that's the 12th I believe). Details are at my site. Rick

01 Feb 02 - 11:52 PM (#640416) Subject: RE: Beef Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: DougR Geeze, Jed. Can you find grits in Big D? You may have to swing through Louisiana!

Spaw, you dink........tell that fly by night ambulance chasing friend of y'ourn that he should leave the Beef Brothers alone. Between us, we have stocked up on our ammo and are waiting for his arse to show up. I have the musical equivalent of a 10 guage shotgun, in that mid 60's Guild 12 string, and I have loaded it with minor 7ths, ninths, and various and sundry diminished chords. Musically, that is the same as the first round is rocksalt and everything after that isn't..............LOL. And Marum, being a Texas boy by way of Massachussets, is carrying the really big stuff. So just tell that little shyster to show up and see what he gets. HEY HEATHER.........how we coming on that haggis, love? I will pick up some grits as well, I think I have an extra bag in the back room that I use for melting ice on the porch............LOL. Can't wait to see you all again. All the best, Mick |

04 Feb 02 - 11:41 PM (#642681) Subject: RE: Beef Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: JedMarum Well it seems that one of the Beef Brothers may be just a bit short of flesh on this trip. The lovely and gracious Louisa Mae convinced me that I really ought to make an attempt to define the point at which my nose hair ends and my msutache begins ... before I make such a trip to a foreign land, up there in the frozen north (I'm talking about Wayland MI, of course). So off I went to 'the boys bathroom' with a 6 inch pair of sheers in tow. Now, I've done this grooming task before, a time or two, and I know the trick is to get those sheers deep into the nasal cavity so they are just about one centimeter from the brain - then you just "CLIP" 'til all those little wirey rascals are gone. Well I ws doing just that and things were going along swimmngly until one particularly wirey set of hairs torqued the scissors in a slighly forward direction. Now I'm sure I don't have to tell you that there really just isn't that much extra, unoccupied space inside a nasal cavity - even one so grand and cavernous as belongs to this Beef Brother. So you might say this slip caused a bit of rucus aroun the Marum house, for a few minutes. We've cleanned up the bathroom up now. It's suitable once more for guests of any gender - and the bleeding is mostly under control now, except when I hold my head up - and I've only sneezed the one time since the mishap ... the lovely and gracious Louisa has nearly got the wall paper sponged off by now ... And I don't think the cut is quite visible from the outside, when you're looking at the opposite side of my face, and the light is low .... Other then that, I roll tomorrow, late morning. A few stops planned (or in planning) along the way. Should be in MI Thu/Fri and Toronto Sun. All the best. |

I don't know how Jed's gonna like me writing a (bad) parody of his song, Look Ahead Tommy, which I happen to love, but if the guy is gonna stick power tools in his personal orifices, (and worse - he actually shared this incident with us) he deserves it. Jed, we don't wanna know about the drill, the nail gun, and especially not the vaccuum cleaner. Rick, don't let him anywhere near your Dremel! |

06 Feb 02 - 08:08 PM (#644194) Subject: RE: Beef Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: catspaw49 Just pulled up this from the St.Louis Post Dispatch: Pensioner Attacked in Farmington (02/06/02, Farmington, MO) Authorities in this small community 80 miles south of St. Louis are baffled by an attack early this morning. Police were summoned to the parking lot at the Wal-Mart by an employee who had responded to the cries of Richard O'Toole, 82, a pensioner living at Presbyterian Manor Complex in Farmington. O'Toole, a very diminuitive man, was being aided by several people when police arrived. He was writhing in pain and screaming repeatedly, "The fecker ate me arsehole." O'Toole was transported to Farmington Community Hospital where he is listed in critical, but stable condition following surgery. There were no eyewitnesses to the actual attack but a very large white male was seen leaving the scene by several patrons of the Steak N Shake Restaurant. Dudley Snatcherd of rural Farmington said the man had eaten breakfast at the Steak N Shake and left when he was told they had run out of both eggs and steak. Snatcherd said the man was quite angry but was unable to give an accurate description saying only he was "a big sumbitch." O'Toole had also just left the restaurant and was walking back to Presbyterian Manor, a retirement village in Farmington where he has lived for the past seven years. The Wal-Mart parking lot adjoins the parking area at the Steak N Shake. Formby Smugholtz, a detective with the Farmington Police, could only comment that it was a strange and gruesome crime. "I've never seen anything like it. He ate the asshole out of the poor little guy." O'Toole is well known in the area and often assists in the annual St. Patrick's Day celebrations. Presbyterian Manor spokesperson Sheila Lipschitz says the Manor has a nursing facility and will move Mr. O'Toole there as soon as possible. Presbyerian Manor is a complete assisted living facility with total services for the elderly. Anyone with information should contact the Farmington Police Department...(Dwight Mannsburden, Staff Writer) Hmmmm............Gang, I tell ya'.....I really don't like the sound of this at all. Spaw |

Flywheel Flywheel, Shyster, and Flywheel 1-800-SCREWEM I am posting this letter and forwarding it also to the homes of Mssrs. Lane and Marum. We here at Flywheel, Shyster, and Flywheel have been notified of the attack in Missouri and Mr. O'Toole is indeed a member of longstanding with the North American Leprechaun and Little Green Fuckers Guild. As the legal representatives of the NALALGFG we have discussed the situation with the Farmington Police and at this time we have no evidence that Mr. Marum was involved but the probability is certainly there. Farmington authorities will attempt to locate Mr. Marum and should he be found guilty of this heinous act, a lawsuit will follow.

Sculley: "The man with no neck? Mulder: "Yeah. The new source. Anyway, he gave me a hot tip on..." Sculley: "The man with no neck? NO NECK?!?! Wasn't he in the Rocky Horror Picture Show? Mulder: "Dana, don't be silly. Anyway, he told me about this case in Missouri, and I checked it out on the internet. Seems a little old guy was attacked in a Wal-Mart parking lot. The only thing the attacker did was eat his asshole." Sculley: "Someone ate his asshole?!" Mulder: "Yep. Anyway, that's not the weirdest thing about this case. I found out..." Sculley: "You say this man had his ASSHOLE EATEN?!" Mulder: "Twice now. Anyway, the guy was a member of something called NALALGFG." Sculley: "Could you possibly spell that?" Mulder: "Sorry. N.A.L.A.L.G.F.G. It stands for "North American Leprechaun And Little Green Fuckers Guild." Sculley: "So now you're going to tell me there was there a rainbow leading to a pot of gold shoved up this guy's ass or something equally preposterous..." Mulder: "That's silly, Scully. I'm just relating the facts, here. Apparently, this organazation has its own attorney on retainer. The attorney has been sending threatening letters to a Mr Jed Marum, who he believes is responsible." Sculley: "That could be considered harrassment." Mulder: "There's more. The police DID go to Mr Marum's home in Texas. The found traces of blood on every surface in his bathroom, and bloody rags in his trash. His wife claimed the blood was Marum's own, shed in a nose hair trimming incident. The type matches his." Sculley: "This guy definitely sounds like a waco." Mulder: "No, Dallas." Sculley: "Well, let's go. I'll get someone to watch my perfectly normal alien hybrid baby, and you can get the plane tickets, and...HEY - aren't you supposed to be in hiding or something? And I definitely remember you as being taller...and less green..." Mulder: "Err...hey LOOK! I didn't know your kid could spin her head 360 degrees! (oops...)" |

08 Feb 02 - 03:04 PM (#645496) Subject: RE: Beef Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: GUEST,Rufus T. Flywheel Rufus T. Flywheel Flywheel, Shyster, and Flywheel 1-800-NOPRIDE We have employed the services of the somewhat strange team of Mulder and Sculley to aid in the investigation and monitoring of this strange case. We at Flywheel, Shyster, and Flywheel, feel confident in their quirky abilities and bizarre approach. I would also report that Mr. O'Toole is now recovering after a successful surgery to replace his missing asshole. Thanks to modern surgical techniques he was given an artificial anus made from a faucet gasket. He is expected to make a full recovery although the faucet handle will have to be turned on and off to defecate. Mr. Marum was found to have no hard evidence against him but the preponderance of circumstantial evidence will be noted and kept on file for possible use later. Along those lines, the wife of one of our members living in the Dunes area of southern Michigan reported her husband missing today. A tourist couple was also reported to have been seen a small man running across a section of dunes while holding his ass, but police were unable to follow the tracks in the heavy sand. The same couple reported a large man with a bloody nose had accosted them earlier and demanded a ham sandwich or some barbeque then driven away. These two events combined with our member's disappearance have caused us to put a higher watch level on Marum and Lane. Mulder and Sculley will be investigating.

10 Feb 02 - 11:32 AM (#646535) Subject: RE: Beef Brothers Fielding Music Adventures From: Big Mick Jed arrived safe and sound on Thursday.................tried to feed him, but he was full. Said he had snacked at several stops along the way. He was acting kind of strange. I thought we might go out, but he didn't want to be seen in public. And he told me that if a car drove slowly by, with a man and a woman in it with a big X on the door, to give him notice. He then went and hid under the bed......I don't know? We are having a great time. Jed did a radio interview, and then we went to a session with the lads from my band on Friday. Saturday we did the pilgrimage to Elderly and this anal (poor choice of words, LOL) son of a gun doesn't spend a dime. I think that is illegal. But he played about everything in the shop. And in Elderly that is saying something. Next thing I knew he was following this short fella out of the shop. I got out there just in time to throw him in the car and get out of town before the police arrived. We made our way to Grand Rapids and had dinner with a friend of mine who is about 5'6" tall. Jed kept eying him over his salad. I ordered steak tartar for Jed to keep him from pissing off my friend. Jed's concert was spectacular. He was a great hit with the folks here in West Michigan. I think we will see him again up here. For the third set, the members of my band and I got up and played with him. Have you ever heard "Under The Boardwalk" done with Irish instrumentation? How about "Jamaica Farewell"? Then the sonofagun hauls out "Hit the Road, Jack" and starts and then turns to me and says "sing it, Mick". I informed him with great grace and diplomacy (read that as being said with tongue planted firmly in cheek") that I didn't know the words. So he turns to the audience, while the rythm is being played and says "Ray Charles did a nice version of this, but it was lacking something..............a bodhran solo" and then goes back to me. So I did a bodhran solo, all the while cursing his entire lineage back four generations. Then Tom slips into a mandolin solo. And we end the song to a huge ovation. The Culture Police arrived a few minutes later to arrest us all, but our loyal fans wouldn't let them through the crowd. Jed then launches into "Darling Be Home Soon". Great song, and sounded wonderful with the instrumentation at hand. We did a half a dozen songs, and the evening was a huge success. We did have to slip out the side door quickly at the end of the evening. The Culture Police had called for backup and now were joined by the SWAT team which was looking for "a tall guy, blondish hair, with a ponytail who plays guitar and whose wife is called Lou". That describes both of the Beef Brothers. They warned the crowd to closely guard their arseholes, especially if the person is a short male. We split up and met at the corner and made our getaway. We are headed to Toronto as soon as I can construct a muzzle for the lad. I hate to do it, but their are many small men in Canada. More when we get to Toronto. All the best, Mick |
