Chapter 36: Play That Funky Music Hairball!
When Mr.P went backstage Phil introduced him to the rest of the band." This is Mr.P. He will be our special guest drummer tonight. Is there any song you would like to play?" Mr. P had not thought of which song he wanted to play on but it took no time to bark out a response. The grin on Phil's face was enough to show Mr.P he understood.
Forty mins. into the show the band ubruptly stops. Phil steps up to the mic and raises his arms," We'd like to bring out a special guest right now. This little guy has had quite the ride here in Bonnaroo." The crowd erupts in cheer. Phil waits for the explosion to settle then continues," I, like many of you, was drawn to the sounds this pup produced." Again the crowd goes crazy, then it happens. No one knows who started it or if it started with just one fan, but in a matter of seconds it had grown and spread throughout the crowd," MR.P....MR.P.....MR.P!!!"
"Please welcome to the stage, playing the drums... Mr.P!!!"
There's mosquitoes on the river Fish are rising up like birds It's been hot for seven weeks now, Too hot to even speak now, Did you hear what I just heard?
Say it might have been a fiddle or it could have been the wind But there seems to be a beat now I can feel it my feet now Listen here it comes again!
There's a band out on the highway, They're high steppin' into town It's a rainbow full of sound, It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns Everybody dancin' C'mon children, C'mon children, Come on clap your hands.
Sun went down in honey and the moon came up in wine, You know stars were spinnin' dizzy, Lord The band kept us too busy we forgot about the time.
They're a band beyond description, Like Jehovah's favorite choir People joining hand in hand While the music played the band, Lord They're setting us on fire.
Crazy rooster crowin' midnight, Balls of lightin' roll along Old men sing about their dreams, Women laugh and children scream And the band keeps playin' on.
Keep on dancin' thru the daylight, Greet the mornin' air with song No ones's noticed, but the band's all pack and gone. Was it ever there at all? But they keep on dancin' C'mon children, C'mon children, Come on clap your hands Well the cool breeze came on Tuesday, And the corn's a bumper crop And the fields are full of dancin' Full of singin' and romancin'

Whoa Poncho, reholster that pink crayon!
Gretel and Rosie are adorable Troo, Mr. P is honored to have such wonderful groupees!
Being the kind of artist Mr.P has become, he does not like to keep his fans waiting. So the last chapter of Ponnaroo the experience is coming right up.
Thank you all for reading the story, it has been a whole lot of fun posting it.
And a big Thank you to Wallace for writing Ponnaroo the experience!

Chapter 37: This is the End.
As Mr.P awoke from his night of Jamming, a feeling of bliss and sadness swept over him in a combined wave. " What a crazy ride." he said to no one in particular. In the distance he saw the silhoutte of " the man" coming his way. " I did it!" he shouted at the man." I had a GREAT vacation and it's all thanks to you."
"No it isn't." said Ziggy as he moved closer. And as he spoke his next phrase he moved into the light. " You had it all along. I just showed it to you." Mr.P sat in amazement. It can't be, he thought to himself, but the more he thought about it the more it made sense. " You ready to go home Mr.P?"
"Yeah Ziggy, I am. Just let me take one last look. I've had quite the ride here and I loved every minute of it.
" Don't look so down Mr P. There's always next year."

Sure it's allowed Boomerang, Mr.P loves all living things and he never met a groupee hed didn't like (or try to get it on with) and he even lives with a couple of cats, Mao is a persian and Fritz is what I call a typical house cat or THC for short. When I get back home I'll post a picture of them.
I'm happy that you enjoyed the story and hope to see you at Bonnaroo!
We treat mishaps like sinking ships and I know that I don't want to be out to drift Well I can see it in your eyes like I taste your lips and They both tell me that we're better than this

Oh man, two weekends of jazz fest and a twelve hour ride home, what a trip!
Hi Profritz, I had never heard of Capt. Jack, so I looked him up. What an amazing adventure he goes on, I will check out his story. Thanks for turning me on to it.
Layla, you got P on his knee's, He's beggin' darlin' please.... Layla you just eased his worried mind. He really wanted you to join!
Smea, Mr P will be there... and he will bring the wine!
Groovelogik, Your puppy is freakin' adorable, what is his or her name?
I'm thinking of making some buttons and or fridge magnets with a picture from the story and Mr.P fan club written on them, so I have a little something to turn to guy's onto when we see you in June. Does anyone have a suggestion as to which picture I should use?

Thats my baby girl "Harper" she is Pomeranian and Chihuahua mix.
I've never used Cafepress before so I'm kind of in the dark here but..
I'm pretty sure I can add text (any ideas what it should be; font , color, size, location) The batches listed are: 1 for $1.25, 10 for $10, and 100 for $75 (add S/H)
There is a way to list it so everyone can buy what they want. This is what was done with the Inforoo shirts. I have no way idea how to do this but if people are actually interested I could figure it out and we could see about adding it to the Inforoo store.

I'd like to buy 100 just to give away. I'm open to suggestions as to text, was thinking Ponnaroo just under the tequila bottle and maybe a web address to the story.
Hope to see you at Roo!
