Well, and there was I thinking all these people were veterans, and half of them are on this owning up session.

I've been using Digital Tradition for a couple of years, but only discovered the rest of it a couple of weeks ago, when my eye flashed on something saying "Mudcat under threat" and I thought I'd investigate.

Noiw I'm hooked, I can't see myself getting detached. (Fortunately now now have an Internet connection with a free phone number)

The first time I sang in public was on an Aldermaston march against the bomb. After a few year singing and playing a lot I took a long long break, just listening. Then in 1992 I got back into it pretty heavily. Now its several sessions most weeks, and I've written about 200 songs.

And I have a website with information about what is happening in my corner of the world and nearby, and with a good few songs. Come and visit

So thanks for the welcome, those of you who've been here before, and who have made this such a good place to come.Since being here I've written two new Mudcat related songs (The Blue Clicky Thing and the Mudcat came Back - they are both somewhere on my website), and it was months since I'd written anything new.

And as for the other newcomers, get your photos into Barbara's rogues gallery.

Happy Halloween.
