Mrr....Regarding the "place" thing. I don't know what to say or call the others, but regarding Mudcat...........

I feel this IS a place. We may be sitting at computer screens that are literally half a world apart, but their is a sense of community here that's different from other sites. This isn't a "site" to me. Yeah, I know I need a shrink, but the 'Cat is as real a place as the little town in Ohio where I live. We came here and stay through our love of the music, but there is so much more. From your post, you know it too. That's why I tend to refer to the "Village." Seriously, at times I can envision the place and everyone's houses, where they live in the village, what their job is........do you feel it?

Sandy Paton once said that this is the kind of place he always wanted to live. Made sense to me.
