Subject: RE: WHY WE GRAVITATE TO MUDCAT!
Sure do agree with all of you!!

I'd never ever used a computer before January when I went out and got one. Almost first thing I found was Mudcat. In many ways it's been a lifesaver for me. Friends made when touring now come right home with me via this cyber-thing. The SONGS are now part of me and part of my life. That happens when one has been singing to make ends meet for almost 40 years. But the community, that we truly are a part of, was lost when I had to leave off traveling and gigging. Now, through E-mail and Mudcat, I stay in touch more than I ever could before. Glad you ALL are here. Wish I knew more by real names though. When coming in to this "club" I was too new to know there might be valid reasons to stay anonymous--so I didn't. I've mixed feelings now about that, but I'm generally glad to be up front there. Hell, if I wasn't in the phone book a decade ago I wouldn't have gotten any gigs!

Yes, it does seem we came here for similar reasons!!

Nice to know!------Art
