Better? Good old days? Those are such relative terms that I don't know how one would answer that. The thing that always made The Mudcat unique was the cast of characters. That cast has changed. I have been here longer than all but a handful of 'Catters, yet I remember when I came how they talked about how good it used to be. And that was only a couple of years since it began. Then came the Spancil Hill thread, the Why We Sing thread, discussions about Vietnam and The Troubles, the Mudcat Bar threads, Spaw's illness, and on and on. Rick Fielding came, and the music playing threads went through the roof. So the good old days of before were replaced with a new crop of good old days. Will we ever have another Spancil Hill thread? I don't know. But there are good old days to come, of that I am sure.
