I've been dropping in here for about a month or a bit longer; but already it's like I can't remember a time B.M. - before Mudcat.

I live "Dahn Sarf" with my delightful wife and our two cats, and an array of instruments which amuse me to play, if nobody else.

I like folk, blues and anything silly.

My nickname...

I have an office job which involves investigating fraud. One such fraud is called a "Long Firm" fraud.

One Christmas , we thought we'd form a band to play at the office party .

So, what better name than "Long Firm Freddie and the Fraudolettes"?

In its various incarnations, the band has played everything from Tennessee Wig Walk (fully choreographed!)to Only You (Yazoo) via Poison Ivy and Doo Wa Diddy.

Oh, and I used to be the bass player in The Velvet Underpants. We got paid for a gig, real money, once.

It's nice to be here!
