Subject: ALL THE NEWS that's fit to print from Grizzly Peak ....

Haven't seen the Miner 49'ers for quite a spell and was gratified to see they was still around. First off, Grizzly Dave sang "Pecos Bill" and then begged and cajoled Papa Jed into singing "Dan Tucker" (Grizzly's favorite song) which got Jed to reminiscing about his Mom. (See, even the Miners know Mother's Day is just around the corner). Anyway, seems she knew Dan Tucker and she said he was so ugly he could make a train go down a dirt road -- according to Jed, Mom either was or wasn't big on using superlatives -- whatever! So, sing it he did and he knew all the words, which is so satisfying.

Then it was washboard time. Every washboard was taken and the washboarders sang and danced to "It's a Washboard After All" -- that tune is so familiar, wonder where I heard it before?

Dr. John on guitar sang "Memphis, Tennessee", John John on Dobro sang "Skip to My Lou" (still No. 1 on the Grizzly Peak Hit Parade for the last 100 years or so).

Last song, sung by all, was "Comin' Round the Mountain" which at some point became "Calling Chip and Dale". Chip and Dale heard the call, came running and everybody lived happily ever after.

MEANWHILE, outside the Horseshoe, the town drunk has learned to say "I'll drink to that!" in SPANISH! What's next, the National Anthem? (Hola, Esteban!)

Inside the 'Shoe, there are HILLBILLIES! RUN FOR THE HILLS!
