Welcome to another edition of the Bob Cats Newsletter. It's night time in the big city, snowflakes thick as seagulls besiege a streetcar named Heathen Island pushing through, coming to a complete standstill outside the Black Swan, passengers plodding slow and ceremoniously the short distance across the pavement to the warmth of the bar and kitchen to the mighty sound of Maritza Attenziano’s full soprano taking May The Road Rise To Meet to church carried away by a fiddle and a mandolin, handled by the Bardolini Brothers from the Gothic Quarters. The cracked actor shouts out for another carafe of claret as the snow falls in ever larger sheets and chunks as if God in rage was tearing out pages from the directory of the heavens. The lights of the St. James Hotel shine in the dark. The Ecumenical Conference of the Open Hearts and Spirits is in full swing in the Lincoln Room and turning into a Polish Parliament as father Günther Reinspring of Göttingen proclaims amnesty for all crimes and misdemeanors conducted by men of the cloth up until this very day which provokes deacon Penelope Hierophantēs of Mykonos furiously shouting defrock ‘im! rising with aplomb fists aglow, rolling up the sleeves of her beautifully ornamented silken ruddy kaftan, gloves and socks off, turmoil follows in black and red cassock, collars, ferraiolos and zostikons all around and in many an idiom beneath the imperial chandeliers of the former dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary. Thomas and Judith de Quiney discretely leave the bar and their martinis behind, coat and cape at hand, hailing a cab outside in the raging snow. ••• AMERICAN FALL TOUR OF 2019 SETLIST: BEACON THEATRE NEW YORK CITY NEW YORK • NOVEMBER 27, 2019. http://www.boblinks.com/112719s.html AUDIO: BAND INTRO • • BEACON THEATRE NEW YORK CITY NEW YORK • NOVEMBER 27, 2019. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeHDXPnxvIo SET LIST: BEACON THEATRE NEW YORK CITY NEW YORK • NOVEMBER 26, 2019. http://www.boblinks.com/112619s.html REVIEW: BEACON THEATRE NEW YORK CITY NEW YORK • NOVEMBER 26, 2019. http://www.boblinks.com/112619r.html SET LIST: BEACON THEATRE NEW YORK CITY NEW YORK • NOVEMBER 24, 2019. http://www.boblinks.com/112419s.html REVIEW: BEACON THEATRE NEW YORK CITY NEW YORK • NOVEMBER 24, 2019. http://www.boblinks.com/112419r.html VIDEO: • BEACON THEATRE NEW YORK CITY • NOVEMBER 24, 2019. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZQXIUQn2IU&fbclid=IwAR1G- YE7c6hqgvWvo8_15BRNRvBWKxEMMU8MLEgHeJWp_7tepXMkWrnVefg VIDEO: CAN’T WAIT • WHEN I PAINT MY MASTERPIECE • BEACON THEATRE NEW YORK CITY • NOVEMBER 24, 2019. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24sNgcmw0vw&fbclid=IwAR1PXZ-j-m1qUazztTPEyI8WKn4yysOxpsVsP0S- ASehlKWZBW_v6qZQWxg

FLASHES FROM THE PAST The cat’s in the well, the wolf is looking down The cat’s in the well, and Papa is reading the He got his big bushy tail dragging all over the news ground His hair’s falling out and all of his daughters need shoes The cat’s in the well, the gentle lady is asleep She ain’t hearing a thing, the silence is a- The cat’s in the well and the barn is full of bull stickin’ her deep The night is so long and the table is oh, so full

The cat’s in the well and grief is showing its The cat’s in the well and the servant is at the face door The world’s being slaughtered and it’s such a The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to bloody disgrace war

The cat’s in the well, the horse is going The cat’s in the well, the leaves are starting to bumpety bump fall Back alley Sally is doing the American jump Goodnight, my love, may the Lord have mercy on us all
