Been playing around with Jethro's version of "I Found A New Baby", tabbed out in Dave Peters' Masters of the Mandolin book.
Well done!

Hey Paul, great to meet you! Thank you so much for going out of your way to meet and greet, really a pleasure to put a face with the name. I think Geoff's trying to work out a trip for next year, hopefully we'll have another opportunity to hang and some more time to pick. All the best!
Is a CBOM-ish instrument okay?

A sad occasion prompted the creation of this video, but I thought I'd share anyway. It's a slideshow, but I play the accompaniment soundtrack, and it was a therapeutic labor of love for me. (Just a heads up - if you don't like cats, don't even bother looking...)

That was lovely Bratsche. Rosie reminds me of our wonderful cat Pearl, who is the very reason my wife and I are married today. She found Pearl as a very, very young kitten, sick, undernourished and abandoned. It's a bit of a long story, but we met that day and were married 7 months later. Pearl is 11 years old and we call her our love kitten. It will certainly be a sad day when she is no longer with us. I'm so sorry you lost Rosie. BTW, you mandola accompaniment was beautiful.
PS - When I say that Rosie reminds me of our Pearl, I really mean she looks very much like her.

Thank you, Larry. It would seem like Pearl and Rosie shared more than just looks. I don't know if you opened the full description at my video, but Rosie was also very young and abandoned when a neighbor brought her to us. Serendipitously, we had recently opened our screened patio to a black pregnant cat just days before she gave birth to five kittens. Though she was in the process of weaning them when Rosie came along, which is why she is obviously smaller than other kittens pictured, Mama happily adopted her, and nursed her for the next five weeks or more. We still have Mama and one of her daughters (the tortoiseshell one). Found homes for the rest, but learned while making the video that sadly, the little male runt of the litter (the one shown by Rosie when she was in the basket) also died this year.
The kitten with her leg in a splint was yet another rescue a couple weeks after Rosie - we found her very badly injured, barely clinging to life - very long, expensive story, but she is still here, too, and a most wonderful cat. It was my lifelong desire to get to watch a litter of kittens be born and raised. Well, I got that, and then some! 2008 was "the summer of kittens" for us.

I did read your description and read it to my wife, who began to cry as it reminded her so much of our story. My wife had actually been a long time friend of my family, although it had been many years since I had even seen her. I was living in Houston at the time and was visiting my family and staying at my sisters house. My sisters' youngest daughter is a Vet Tech. While my wife was visiting her Mom, who lives very close to my sister, she found this abandoned kitten practically in the street. She picked it up and took it to my niece so she could take it to her office to have it checked out. I had actually gone to bed for the night as I was leaving the next morning to go back to Houston. My sister woke me up and told me what had happened and I came down to see the kitten and say hello. I took some pictures of the kitten and when I got back to Houston I emailed the photos and then we started emailing each other. 7 months later I moved back to NJ and we were married. Funny thing was that I had two cats of my own, one of which I took in as a stray, and she had three, including Pearl. So now we were a family of 5 cats. Since then two of those cats have passed away and we are left with the other three, but now have two children instead. All of the cats we have are either adopted or strays. Pearl never grew up to be a "full sized" cat and is only about 6 or 7 pounds, but she is such a love and always reminds us of our beginning. I loved reading your story and really respect those who rescue helpless animals. I often with I had the room and the money to take in every animal in need. The Vet that my niece works for is one of the few Vets in the area that will take strays and care for them while he tries to find them a home.
