Hi folks, I'm a brand newbie on the list, joining just a couple of days ago,
and I'm sure glad I did ... thanks, Mr. Bug, for putting this together ...
First, I do own the Jack Tottle book, and would be happy to make "Catnip"
available to whoever wants it ... I suspect posting a scan of it in the Files
section is not the way to go--don't want to make copyright trouble--so please
advise me if there's a better way to handle this, but I will be glad to
snail-mail a copy to anyone who wants to contact me offlist ...
My own Wank Frakefield story: several years ago I saw him gig here in the
Boston area, accompanied by Skip Gorman ... having never seen him before, the
goofiness kind of took me by surprise, but the show was great ... at
intermission he was standing by the CD table, still holding his axe ... having
never seen a vintage Lloyd Loar up close (much less one allegedly cooked in an
oven), I was eyeballing it with interest when he suddenly thrust it into my
hands and told me to play it ... shocked and amazed, I stammered that oh no, I
couldn't presume, but he insisted that I take it ... so with slightly shaking
hands I noodled on it a little and gave it back to him as fast as I could, my
nervousness shared in equal parts between holding an actual Loar in my hands,
and playing mandolin in front of Frank Wakefield ...
--Scotty (excited about seeing Andy Stat here in town next week with
Trischka, Matt Glaser, et al.)
