Like most of you I came for the songs and stayed for the people (Thats a great description Bert). My first thread was under the title "can anybody sing" under the name of Pete but have had to change due to all the Petes out there. I was wrapped in the positive and totally supportive comments that came forward in that thread and as a consequence I have taken up this singing thing with renewed confidence. A fair way to go yet mind you, but I thank you all for giving me the extra incentive I needed to get started. I visit the site every day but confess to being more of a lurker than a regular participant but I hope to change that. I'm a mudcatter for good now. Cheers Grubby
