So sorry to hear about Susan - we have lovely memories of an evening with her and Jim in Victoria a few years ago. She told us of her diagnosis then, but I hoped that no news was good news.

Cheers
Jennie

Matt, it's good to hear from you! Congratulations on your marriage. But do you remember how the women here swooned over you? Well, it's all over now. Happened to me here when I got married, too.

I was wondering where I might be these days. I use to post on Mudcat all the time, joined in the chatroom and contributed my $.02 on numerous subjects whether I knew what I was talking about or not. I realized after reading this thread that I just haven't seen many of my posts lately.

geeziz.....................Mets I am so sorry we didn't know. We should have suspected perhaps but sometimes folks just leave here for even a year or two...............

Mets..........She was around for some of the best of times here and always a part of the action---AND---She was very strong musically!

kat, I dunno' about a thread at this late date but I also don't know why not. You might ask her husband if he'd mind a few private messages from some of us as an alternative.


And does anyone know anything about "Lyrical Lady"........Barb hasn't posted in about the same amount of time either........

I have some sad news. I found Metchosin's email addy the other day, so sent her a quick note. I knew she had been ill, fighting a rare type of leukemia which seemed slow-acting. I just received the following from her husband:

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but Susan passed away last October 16 after a year of battling her leukemia. She remained courageous and in strong spirits until the end. She was at home in the company of her dogs and myself and didn't have to experience the demoralizing experience of in home care that would have started the following day. I think she had simply had enough of it all and decided it was time.

Rest in Peace, Mets. You are loved and missed.

Kinda the same thing, Kendall. His 3D life got busy and happy and so he's just out there, at least, last I knew. I see someone by his real name on facebook. It looks like him. If you'd like I'll send you the info by PM.

Back in the early years of Mudcat, there were some "regulars" who really knew a lot about folk music, and I wonder what happened to them. Abby Sale isn't around much any more, but he does look in.
I haven't seen RichR or Tim Jaques in years, the guy named Bill who always used to sign things with, "Allinkausay, Bill."

Then there's Shula and Rechal and Sheye and Cuilinonn (sp?). I wonder how they are.

And yes, I have heard that some respectable folk song researchers are reluctant to associate their names with the nastiness that goes on at Mudcat. I wish I knew how to resolve that, and still maintain an atmosphere of free expression.

quote "I don't think you can actually "leave membership". "giovanni" still shows up as a member"

In which case, apologies to the member giovanni, I was never him.

I'm a totally different ex-member who just thinks the place has been taken over by prats and regrets the loss of what was a great community. Maybe The Shambles was a boring sod, Clinton a wanker, and Martin Gibson didn't know when to stop taking the piss, but even they were more fun than some of the twats you're all having to put up with these days.

And it seems a shame that some really quality people - maybe even yourself included - seem to be getting dragged into the mire by the company you keep.

I don't think you can actually "leave membership". "giovanni" still shows up as a member.   Of course any member can stop coming around, and onvisits can disable the cookie ster and ciome in as a guest, but they are still members.

Two prime examples of prattish retorts:

1) "anti-fascist brigade spitting vitriol at the BNP"
And this is a bad thing??? from Bobad

Try and read the whole sentence next time Bobad, you know it makes sense.

2) "So if you've left, giovanni, how did you manage to post that?"
from McGrath (who really should know better - you let yourself down Kevin)

That would be "left membership" and occasionally looks back in to see if things have improved - ah, I see they haven't. See you all next year then.

Date: 22 Sep 09 - 01:12 PM

Many people, myself included, will I feel sure have left because the place seemed to have been taken over by prats starting really tedious threads in the music section, and the loonie left anti-fascist brigade spitting vitriol at the BNP in the BS (both groups being as bad as each other to most right-minded people).
I could name the most guilty but don't think I need to - they name themselves very clearly.
