Greetings, fellow folk. I've been gone quite awhile (I do that), but every time I come back there is at least one good serious conversation going on. Yes, we do tend to ramble, but if this were nothing but song and lyric requests I think the Mudcat would lose its soul. This place is so much more than an "encyclopedia of songs". I'm gone for three months and I return, read a couple of these long threads and I feel caught up. Plus, and this is a BIG PLUS, how would all the wonderful personalities that reveal themselves at Mudcat ever show themselves if we were ONLY answering questions about lyrics, etc. Peter T., as usual, I agree with you completely. I admit, I am sometimes mildly annoyed at all the strange stuff in these long and winding threads, but every once in a while I am just totally, completely delighted. Once in a while I read something here that I just have to share with my friends. I'll bet I'm not alone! ...and now, I'll roll over and sleep for another three months...
