I PINE for friends to play with....when I lived in arkansas I was rich in musical friends, but have not been able to connect with any like-minded folkies in this rural and somewhat remote area of Ca. I have a friend who's brother is a musician from out of the area....the few times we've spent together playing for hours on my front porch are standout memories for me.

None of my current friend friends are into music much except as background, and have never, not in 20 years, actually asked me to play. I suppose if I were to be so bold as to haul out my guitar and offer to play they would listen...but I would not expect their interest, or their appreciation, to make up for my own shyness!

I am very happy to have found Mudcats! Just knowing there ar so many people out there who ARE interested in folk music makes me feel good.
