People tell me I should write a memoir of my doings in music and in life. I tell them that I already have written it. It is HERE AT MUDCAT. Being the kind of writer that is seldom, if ever, self motivated, I needed to "know" there was someone out there who might be looking for something I might've picked up over the years. (Please, no jokes about V.D.) The threads here provided that stimulus. I've learned to enjoy, even while not loving, the B.S. threads---not only the music threads. I'm not exactly glad that few heeded my protests---but, as Dr. Strangelove was subtitled ("How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb")-----sometimes it's worth it to lighten up a bit.Art Thieme
