It was JohnInKansas, and Lin is still around. I can't remember his name. A guy in Oz who was a cop, I believe. And Q, Karen K, Dick Greenhaus, Sorcha, Art Thieme, Bigchuck, katlaughing, Walking Eagle, Sandy Paton, Malcolm Douglas, Barry Finn, curmudgeon, MMario, Jed Marum, Rick Fielding, and...
That's not all, I'm sure, and those are just people who've died. I miss an awful lot of folks who've simply "sailed from the wharf".

Bruce Murdoch is still a regular, but he prefers to be a moving target so I'll leave it at that. I have a CD of his also and a couple of really favorite songs and he's easy to find on YouTube.

Here is the LinInKansas obit posted by Uncle Phil in 2017.

There are a few I don't miss, but naming them might jinx us, so I'll leave those names unwritten.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused about this thread.

Is it about remembering Mudcatters who have passed or also about those who used to post here but haven't been seen here for a while?

Jeri said, "A guy in Oz who was a cop, I believe."

I'm not sure who that was. Any more clues?

Who what or why you remember anything is a democracy. Its all up to you. That most people have spontaneously chosen people to remember is a wonderful thing but one could remember losing a big toenail. I have noticed how I do not recognize my old posts :^\

I arrived when Rick Fielding left. I've seen the Troll Wars come and go and then professionally used by Russia. Other epochs came and went.
History used to be a more popular subject. Cats and dogs are ever popular. We all embrace what is honest and true. I am watching the death of accepted racism after the most abusive President rode it into office. I've seen an evolution and refinement of mods on Mudcat.
Its hard to herd artists but somehow they do it.

Bill D :do you remember posting this:

The Higher Pantheism in a Nutshell

One, who is not, we see: but one, whom we see not, is:
Surely this is not that: but that is assuredly this.

What, and wherefore, and whence? for under is over and under:
If thunder could be without lightning, lightning could be without thunder.

Doubt is faith in the main: but faith, on the whole, is doubt:
We cannot believe by proof: but could we believe without?

Why, and whither, and how? for barley and rye are not clover:
Neither are straight lines curves: yet over is under and over.

Two and two may be four: but four and four are not eight:
Fate and God may be twain: but God is the same thing as fate.

Ask a man what he thinks, and get from a man what he feels:
God, once caught in the fact, shows you a fair pair of heels.

Body and spirit are twins: God only knows which is which:
The soul squats down in the flesh, like a tinker drunk in a ditch.

More is the whole than a part: but half is more than the whole:
Clearly, the soul is the body: but is not the body the soul?

One and two are not one: but one and nothing is two:
Truth can hardly be false, if falsehood cannot be true.

Once the mastodon was: pterodactyls were common as cocks:
Then the mammoth was God: now is He a prize ox.

Parallels all things are: yet many of these are askew:
You are certainly I: but certainly I am not you.

Springs the rock from the plain, shoots the stream from the rock:
Cocks exist for the hen: but hens exist for the cock.

God whom we see not, is: and God, who is not, we see:
Fiddle, we know, is diddle: and diddle, we take it, is dee.

Expectation blindness is like looking for a red book but it is really green so it will be invisible to you.
There is novel blindness when somthing is so out of the ordinary and unbelievable you do not make it out or remember it.
There is narcicism blindness. 'You've seen it'

”what happened to Musket? Did he also change names?“

He no longer logs on - not sure if that’s through choice or otherwise. He does post as a GUEST occasionally under a different name and, before the pandemic hit, I saw him most Mondays at a Folk Club we both frequent. And he has quite a number of videos of him strutting his stuff on YooChoob - under his own name, of course.

In other words, he’s still very much alive.

That is true of one of the Muskets. Unfortunately, the Musket login was used by a group of people who liked to have a laugh at others expense. I hope the other Muskets are very much alive but, I have to admit, I'm glad to see the back of them.

This post is nice reading. Amazing how real the personalities still are.

I have a question. A few years ago there was a lovely man? woman? who was labeled the Guitar Doctor. We had a series of fun conversations but I never discovered who it was. At a certain point I suspected it ws MichaeltheGM but I never knew.

Does anyone remember the Guitar Doctor?

Remember Sung Young Moon? He headed up a cult and later bought a Washington newspaper to print trash and actually crowned himself King of something. I was staying in Scarsboro north of NYC one 4th of July and saw that a fireworks display was planned nearby at the Sung Young Moon estate. Being anti cult myself I figured I would just go for the fireworks. The Estate and grounds were Palatial and grand. There were many families with their children picnicing on blankets and running around. Suddenly a sound system squealed and a Koren voiced started ranting raving. When it was good nd dark the crowd strted to get restless. I don't know if Moon himself ever spoke but finally the fire and brimstone rant was over and the firworks began with screams of terror. Scarsboro must have had some local ordinace regarding the height of firework displays or some blind oversight had occurred.
Instaed of going off 200 or 300 feet high these fireworks were exploding at 50 to a hundred feet. Some cannisters still with propellant left fell back to Earth to cause havoc among the picnics.
Mothers were shielding children, blankets were catching on fire and I was yelling "its a miracle I can walk". We were all headed to the exits or what we thought were exits when we heard fire truck sirens.
It was a night to remember.

I remember low scoring football games in the NFL and Ohio State blow outs of 50 points or more but with the new 6 foot social distancing rules, the NFL would have NBA scores like 120 to 136 or higher.
Just kidding , the Feds say the CDC guide lines are too strict for schools and sports and by ignoring them no significant infections will occur. They think the risks are worth the rewards/profits.
Especially the highly lucrative college football programs (the minor league for the NFL) where players are not paid.
So far college football is canceled but decisions are fluid.
