Speaking of Cats, what happened to the Catgut Grrls?
We love them, just like it says in “The Catgut Tango,” but nowadays we have to love them from afar. The quartet was a wonderful addition to the 2001-2002 tour, and we hope to have them with us again sometime down the line. The ladies are doing quite well, meanwhile, thank you. Dana still plays with the Pacific Symphony, Catherine is performing with her band “CZ & the Bon Vivants” and various ensembles in the San Francisco & Reno area, Marilyn is back home in Texas working at the university, and Alicia is adjusting to life as a COW (Commanding Officer’s wife) in Japan. If you are distraught by this turn of events, remember that in Diamondville people have a way of reappearing when you least expect them. The Horn Dogz first toured with us in 1993, as did Julia and Maxine Waters. The Dogz and Julia returned in 2001, Maxine rejoined us in 2005. You can do the math, or you can just content yourself with least-expecting.
