This is my second time on the site and I have noticed a lot of regulars and I am just curious as to what parts of the world everyone is from? I am from Stone Mountain Ga. USA. A suburb of Atlanta. Also this is one of the friendliest sites I have participate in. Any volunteers?

then if you want to see what we can really do when we put our minds to it.. do a search for "spancil Hill or "condom", (put the word in the filter box and set the days to 365.....)

Say picker....I spent a few years in Hotlanta, met and married my wife Karen there. We got married in the morning on the Square in "Mayretta" and after a brunch reception, we took all the "out of towners" to Stone Mountain. Still have a real close friend in "Snailvul."

I'll premise this by saying I'm still buzzing from downing (quite quickly) 2 delicious Rob Roys of a Friday evening, so be forewarned, I am a little off the wall and not myself...

I am from planet earth...but have been seen in Central New York--primarily the "Salt City"...have also ventured to southern points in the state as well...ie Binghamton (known to some as 5th-Hampton)...and Westchester County...most recently I've been experiencing The Bay area of California and now The San Fernando Valley region...that is when I am not mentally drifting to other places in the world...such as the UK and Ireland.

And I think you all can tell neither my day nor evening job is comedienne.

In connection with another thread, I tried to identify Mudcatters from S.E. United States and got no takers except Dani, who thought a Mudcat gathering in Wrightsville Beach would be cool. Now I find out that Picker is from Stone Mt., Lloyd from Asheville, and Moonchild and Harpgirl are from N. Fla. I'm from Lexington, S.C. Watchasay let's organize a Southeastern U.S. Mudcatters folk stomp-down.

Hey JR, I would have never guessed. I quit my day job (so that means I now work nights, makes it hard to go jamin), I was just thinking about you this last weekend when playin some tunes with others, told them that if they ever ran into you to have you play "Leavin' Carolina". Hey people, this is one of those songs that are really good, put together by one of those people you never hear of, that few people ever get to hear. Good song JR

Mean streets of shame and broken people
A cruel division between the haves and have-nots
