I have often thought that I learned more from the mudcat threads that I didn't participate in--and over the years, I have learned a lot from his posts--his genuine love for, and curiosity about, music of all kinds has been an important part of that which has made mudcat so interesting for these many years. As he did to many others, he invited me to visit, and I figured one day, when I finally made it down there, I'd stop in and see him. Well, my sincere condolences to his family and friends, I'll miss him a lot---
