I actually found MudCat by accident. :) I was doing a search on the 'net for folk music, and lo and behold, there was Mudcat. I checked it out mainly because i liked the name, and I keep coming back because I find the site fascinating & friendly. I like to get the honest opinions of "real" people. I also like the user-friendliness of the site.

I'm only a sometime folksinger (i.e. in the summer months, when there are more outdoor concerts, benefits, etc.) but I'm a full-time lover of music. My real "first love" is not performing, but writing. My lyrical attempts are mostly in the genres of folk music and sacred music. My musical tastes are about the same as that. I like to listen to folk, jazz, classical and sacred. I guess my real area of knowledge is sacred music.

My "nom de mudcat" (Great phrase, Murray!!!) is of my own invention, i confess. Ireland O'Reilly- she is the central character in my book-in-progress (a collecton of interrelated short stories, which i hope to have completed by early in 1999). My real name is Wendy, and I'm from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Live on, Mudcat!
