THanks for a great thread . I have had so many wonderful interactions with great and wonderous people due to MAx and the old Mudcat . It dose feel like there are some generations of conversation here but all inspired by getting together and making music and the joys aroud friendship .
          The fun I have been able to have from meeting Amos and playing music Meeting Bseed and making music both in California , Bill Sables and the yorkshire crew !!!! and so many people in my own backyard in Connecticut I never would have foulnd without the conversations and friendship here .NOMAD !!! I had the greatest time with Banjo Bonnie looking for the perfect banjo for her all over the northeast .. Bert at Bartrams Garden in Philli .. Oakley at Nellies in Beverly . The list just floors me and it all comes from the good will Max has built into this vehicle of friendship   !!!    As I always say at the end of any posting I put here "All the best " and thats what I have gotten out of my time coming and going here for all these years .
                Thanks Chance for a great thread. Pat Kat and Art its great to see you all still in the middle of all this !!   . I miss seeing Rick's wonderful posts but am so glad we had him .This seems like the right place to say this.. I would love to see and hear more of Barry Finn and Bseed and the like of that kind of voice here . We were blessed to have the music conversations we had here and i hope everyone gose back and reads some of the great threads that live on . Lots more to come and I look forward to inspired music threads like the one Oakley is having at the moment on his new CD with Cara. Thanks to all here. !!!
