I haveno idea what the term knowledgeable in the context of the Mudcat Forum means, I have spent more than 30 years singing and writing songs and have recently also become a duffer on this forum. My recent posting THE SICK NOTE/MURPHY AND THE BRICKS produced more information and positive feedback than I have learnt in the last 15 years. There are those out there, particularly in the UK, posting as GUESTS, who have an interest in silencing Mudcat, I recognise the style of one in particular on the MUDCAT FINANCES thread. Duffer or not I have no problem sorting the chaff from the wheat. My friends in the various singers clubs in Ireland find MUDCAT a valuable resourse, those who post on this site are but a handfull of those that view it. To Joe Offer and all involved, thanks, and keep up the good work. Pat. .
