02 Apr 04 - 05:38 AM (#1152665) Subject: RE: Paul Simon night in Barton, Beds - 5/4 From: Ross Good point - not sure of the answer - It's gone very quiet so we are hoping for the best for our `dude' Good news though for the session Mudcat Alternative British Folk Awards Here is the announcement you have all been waiting for. THIS YEARS WINNERS ARE: BEST PUB SESSION (REGULAR) Once more goes to The Bull in Barton-Le-Clay who managed to muster more votes than all their rivals added together. And well done Guru: HORIZONTAL AWARD (Best drinker) Once again, this was awarded to Hilary Ward who continues to claim that she doesn't remember drinking very much. Hope we taught you everything you need to know Guru |

03 Apr 04 - 09:36 AM (#1153531) Subject: RE: Paul Simon night in Barton, Beds - 5/4 From: breezy I always suspected Guru of having firm foundations. May I inspect them when we are together on Tueday at the day care centre gig in leatherhead and yes, we are into leather and ....dont even think about it 'the little scrote' |
|
03 Apr 04 - 09:41 AM (#1153534) Subject: RE: Paul Simon night in Barton, Beds - 5/4 From: Ross Yes - you don't often hear a lady refer to her firm foundations Morticia - you're not Kate from Bristol are you? No joke intended |
|
03 Apr 04 - 09:48 AM (#1153538) Subject: RE: Paul Simon night in Barton, Beds - 5/4 From: The Unicorn Man Yes Ross we could go to The Blue Anchor afterwards that sounds great.

05 Apr 04 - 03:55 AM (#1154614) Subject: RE: Paul Simon night in Barton, Beds - 5/4 From: Ross I will mostly be doing - Baby Driver, A Most Peculiar Man and Richard Cory It's not compulsory to know the words off by heart (is it?) I should imagine there will be 100 different versions of 'feeling groovy' How was Piers - does he still read the Mudcat? |
|
05 Apr 04 - 10:47 AM (#1154867) Subject: RE: Paul Simon night in Barton, Beds - 5/4 From: Ross Did Paul Simon cover or write the `Wild Rover' Him & Art were always singing - 'no nay never no more' |
|
05 Apr 04 - 07:25 PM (#1155250) Subject: RE: Paul Simon night in Barton, Beds - 5/4 From: The Unicorn Man I still have not managed to contact Peirs yet, but I don't think he could still be on the Mudcat cos he has not left a message. Do they have computers that far up north? What a brilliant night that was 16 people all together, and some of them might come back. Thanks to everyone who came last night. See you later Ross 7.00pm Cheers Dude. And well done on winning the competition. |

06 Apr 04 - 01:16 PM (#1155858) Subject: RE: Paul Simon night in Barton, Beds - 5/4 From: Ross Many thanks to all comers last night Including Derek Girvan, Dave & Tina Auld, Steve, John P, Trevor, Mike Orwin, Tony Vasse, Angela & Jim, Bert & Pat Tann, John Birch and Bill With MD & me = 16 - very good turnout I was shocked to win the prize - many thanks - it's brilliant I'm obviously more obsurer than I realised |
|
06 Apr 04 - 01:28 PM (#1155867) Subject: RE: Paul Simon night in Barton, Beds - 5/4 From: The Unicorn Man Well done Ross, you won it not only with the most obsurer song, but the most obsurer songs as well. (if that is how you spell it) |
|
07 Apr 04 - 04:17 AM (#1156352) Subject: RE: Paul Simon night in Barton, Beds - 5/4 From: Ross I even spell obscurer the wrong way - how obscure can you get, when it's not even a proper word I am sat here quantity surveying in a builders office in Redbourn counting bricks and money But there's sunshine coming through the window and I'm listening to Paul Simon Well done Martin on getting us through to the grand final - brilliant |

07 Apr 04 - 08:20 AM (#1156450) Subject: RE: Paul Simon night in Barton, Beds - 5/4 From: GUEST I'm glad I wasn't there. I don't know any Paul Simon songs in 5/4. |
|
07 Apr 04 - 09:23 AM (#1156515) Subject: RE: Paul Simon night in Barton, Beds - 5/4 From: Ross 5/4 time - nobody told us we had play the songs in a specific time I think we went through most of the timings on every song Specially Martin stopping to turn the page over - seven times in one three page song No wonder Art gets so grumpy |
|
07 Apr 04 - 10:05 AM (#1156570) Subject: RE: Paul Simon night in Barton, Beds - 5/4 From: The Unicorn Man And I forgot the chords just as Del boy was getting in to his solo. |
|
08 Apr 04 - 04:41 AM (#1157265) Subject: RE: Paul Simon night in Barton, Beds - 5/4 From: Ross Didn't notice Martin - it sounded effortlessly seamless it was a bit like Frank Zappa plays Paul Simon How are the plague systems coming along - I've started using maggots to clean up my scabs - they're very good and available on NHS/your local friendly chemist/angling shop |

08 Apr 04 - 06:01 AM (#1157295) Subject: RE: Paul Simon night in Barton, Beds - 5/4 From: Ross Sorry - that should have been symptoms (not systems) |

08 Apr 04 - 01:12 PM (#1157608) Subject: RE: Paul Simon night in Barton, Beds - 5/4 From: The Unicorn Man I feel a lot better thanks, so much so that I will be at Rebourn tonight, if you go we can talk about Monday night, if you want to go to Waltham Abbey, ohh and don't forget Rose and Crown on Sunday. |
