Subject: Hi, I'm new here... Nice place... From: Stevangelist Date: 09 May 01 - 02:02 PM This is a cool place. I have had friends who were part-time 'Cat visitors and I have heard lots and lots of good stuff about this place. I play the guitar, the harmonica, the mandolin and a little banjo. I dabble in Native American flute music and tin whistle tunes. *My REAL area of expertise, however, is in Kazooing. I am a Kazooist of the first order and I love to add the smooth sound of my 'zoo to any serious, academic folk gathering I can find/crash.* Seriously, I love folk music. From the commercial to the absolutely never ever heard of them before guys, folk has been the answer to many lonely nights as a chubby kid with no one to hang out with. Folk actually saved me from losing my identity and simply becoming a faceless member of the rat race. I have kept in touch with myself and with God and with my fellow man simply by allowing home-made music to be one of my greatest joys. I hope I can share that joy with you all. May The Road Rise To Meet You, Stevangelist

Subject: RE: BS: Hi, I'm new here... Nice place... From: Jande Date: 09 May 01 - 02:21 PM Welcome to Mudcat, Stevangelist! Been a loooong time since I heard a kazoo... ~ Jande |

Subject: RE: BS: Hi, I'm new here... Nice place... From: wysiwyg Date: 09 May 01 - 02:24 PM Hi Stevangelist, Welcome to the Mudcat. When I joined a little over a year ago, there was no such thing as the FAQ. Now I can heartily recommend it as a body of knowledge that would otherwise take you a year to get otherwise! Please let me know if I can help with anything around here. And remember-- when the occasional spat comes up around here-- how you felt when you first arrived. Keep your eye on the higher sides of Mudcat and you cannot go wrong. If you are ever in North Central PA, bring that kazoo over. We need a good kazoo player for our Saturday Night Service. ~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Hi, I'm new here... Nice place... From: Mrs.Duck Date: 09 May 01 - 02:32 PM Welcome Stevangelist. You and Geoff the Duck have kazoos in common. He does an excellent duet with himself of duelling banjos on kazoo and banjo! |

Subject: RE: BS: Hi, I'm new here... Nice place... From: MMario Date: 09 May 01 - 02:34 PM howdy hi! there's a little of everything around here. As wysiwyg said, the FAQ is a good place to start. It'll show you a lot about searching, clickies, etc if you don't know about them already. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hi, I'm new here... Nice place... From: Chicken Charlie Date: 09 May 01 - 02:39 PM Welcome, Stevangelist-- Always glad to hear from a Kazooist; the world has too few. Jesse Lone Cat Fuller is my beau ideal on that department. Have fun on Mudcat & look out for the occasional spoor. Speaking of kazoo, anybody around here play the spoons?? CC |

Subject: RE: BS: Hi, I'm new here... Nice place... From: Jande Date: 09 May 01 - 02:45 PM Gosh! My uncle taught me how to play the spoons once when I was about eight. I'd forgotten all about that. He used real spoons from the kitchen drawer. But sometimes he's pull a pair of polished bones out of a leather case, and play along with my "da"'s harmonica, as they both sang the "old country" songs. Lord, you could cut the nostalgia with a knife! I'd forgotten all about the "bones"! I wonder if I can still do it? (I doubt it) ~ Jande |

Subject: RE: BS: Hi, I'm new here... Nice place... From: Matt_R Date: 09 May 01 - 02:53 PM HI Steve! Wait till you meet Roger The Skiffler!! He thought he was the only one brave enough to play the kazoo! |

Subject: RE: BS: Hi, I'm new here... Nice place... From: wysiwyg Date: 09 May 01 - 03:00 PM Oh yeah, and about that FAQ-- when you need it, you will wish you had printed it out to look at while peering at the screen at some mystifying thing! ~Susan |

Subject: RE: BS: Hi, I'm new here... Nice place... From: Dave the Gnome Date: 09 May 01 - 03:47 PM Hiya Stevangelist - nice handle. Welcome to a strange place indeed.... You need to ask Geoff the Duck about kazoos as well. Only bloke I know to play dueling banjoes by himself on banjo and kazoo! Dave the Gnome |

Subject: RE: BS: Hi, I'm new here... Nice place... From: Burke Date: 09 May 01 - 04:42 PM Welcome, & thanks for mentioning the kazoo. I've been feeling really bad about not playing an instrument. I know I have one of those around somewhere. A nose flute too come to think of it. Look out at Old Songs folks! |

Subject: RE: BS: Hi, I'm new here... Nice place... From: annamill Date: 09 May 01 - 04:58 PM Oh goody! Someone new! I hope you like it here and that's a cool name, Stevangelist, though long to type. (I cut and pasted it) Where in this very big(small) world do you reside. I have a reason for asking. One more for a gathering in New Jersey I hope or over to Whizzy Wigs. Well, welcome and have a good time. Love, annamill (I always sign like that) |

Subject: RE: BS: Hi, I'm new here... Nice place... From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 10 May 01 - 06:23 AM Welcome! Despite what Matt said there are a few kazoo players here, but in my case it's the only damn thing I can play and only tolerated as it prevents me singing! Now if I could play 12-string & harmonica as well... RtS |

Subject: RE: BS: Hi, I'm new here... Nice place... From: catspaw49 Date: 10 May 01 - 06:28 AM Welcome Stevangelist.......It's great place filled with fascinating, intelligent, talented, compassionate, and friendly folks.........although sadly, I'm not one of them. They are here though, so stick around and take what you find, contribute when you can, and enjoy yourself. We're glad you're here. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Hi, I'm new here... Nice place... From: Hollowfox Date: 10 May 01 - 04:09 PM Welcome to the party! If you're in eastern North America, you should visit the kazoo factory and museum in Eden, New York (near Niagara Falls and Buffalo). There website is http://www.kazooco.com/index.htm. Sorry, I haven't learned how to make a blue clicky thing yet, but perhaps some kind soul will transform the address into a link. |

You will be soon to have ducking reflexes tested and tested and... Duck soup is de soup du jour. Have fun and don't inadvertantly back into too many insults. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hi, I'm new here... Nice place... From: Stevangelist Date: 10 May 01 - 05:43 PM ***THIS MESSAGE MAY ALSO BE FOUND IN THE HE'S GONE THREAD***
Wow... I never knew that in order to have had a change in your life, you had to spell it out for everyone. I also never knew that asking if anyone had a cheap guitar to sell amounted to being a first-class a-hole. That's what I feel as though I have been treated like. I can't simply come in and forget the old person I used to be; it seems I have to hang him out as a reminder to all that I once thought too highly of myself. I guess I'm not allowed to have any experiences that are too personal to share here. Thank you, WYSIWYG, for your oh, so warm "welcome". May The Road Rise To Meet You, Stevangelist

Subject: RE: BS: Hi, I'm new here... Nice place... From: GUEST,emily-o Date: 10 May 01 - 05:51 PM sweet! i love kazoos! kazoo kazoo kazoo! lol...last year at blue skies, there was this band that had this one song involving kazoos...ben and me made this whole big list of words that rhymed (or sort of rhymed) with kazoo...the only one i remember now is magoo...but then, of course i'd remember that one...it was *blue skies* welcome welcome welcome! (i'm not sure if i'm officially authorised to say this, since i'm really only here because i'm trying to bother my dad-Willie-O...or william darling if you want to piss him off-but i said it anyways, so there you go) |

Subject: RE: BS: Hi, I'm new here... Nice place... From: marty D Date: 11 May 01 - 01:39 AM Guess I'm missing something too, so what happened back then.... in your own words Steve? I checked your previous posts to see if I could get a clue, and found this. "Looking for places where a fat guy with guitar and harmonicas and lots of songs about love and God and peace and family and folky stuff can go and play and not get judged, as happened, sadly, at many other so-called "open" mic nights. Any suggestions? Comments?" What on earth did you do to get judged so often? You weren't playing in the nude were you? marty |
