Thanks, Joe!

Since the proceeds go to the Mudcat there's nothing to prevent me from bidding against you guys! Current bid is at $53!

BTW, the current actual count is 47 CD's. I just added a few that include a recording of a gathering held in Montana. That recording includes a number of tunes featuring Bill Sables, Les B, Alice (in Montana) Flynn, Wayne Skertich, (our host,) and myself. This gathering was one of many that Bill and I were so fortunate to have attended during our Adventure.

The farther west we went, the more difficulty Bill had with his banjo. If memory serves, it had friction pegs rather than geared tuners. The dry, hot air caused the wood to keep shrinking away from the pegs, making tuning more problematic than usual. At least partly because of this, he switched to the melodeon as well as to his then brand new mandola.

Les filled in nicely with his more bluegrass style of banjo picking and boom-chucking.

Despite a terrible cold, Alice sang quite well. She even duetted with me on a song.

Wayne, a non-Catter, but an accomplished musician, can be heard on the bass. He threw in an occasional slap that was rather loud.

There was some nice fiddle playing in one or two of the cuts. I believe that was done by Wayne's daughter.
