Wow, was it that bad? Dudes, free hot showers at my house next year, it is about a twenty minute drive from the fairgrounds. Might even be able to offer sleep space if anyone wants.

The mosquitos are bad pretty much everywhere this year; too little rain in early spring followed by too much in early summer; they seem to like those breeding conditions. I will be living outdoors for most of July near Chautauqua, NY and am dreading the 'skeets already...I make my own natural bug repellant, usually works pretty good.

Kendall (you crotchety old coot! good to hear your throat is going to the repair shop again soon, best of luck), that is inexcusable that you were not only refused the chance to do one of Utah's songs, but why on earth did they not seek you out to do so? Very poor form if you ask me. Oh, and I have recorded Bedlam Boys with a couple of different groups, very different versions, one slow and minor, one fast and a bit more zippy; I might be able to dig up a recording.
