Sometimes we take things for granted--like "the mudcat cafe will always be there" or "if I need to know something about Traditional Music, good ol' Masato will always be there for me/us" or "I'll always be able to turn on my car radio & hear the local Public radio station. The first two are still there for me! Sadly, the latter has not always been the case.
    That makes me think how sad many people would be without the dedication of Masato Sakurai who keeps us informed and provides us with unlimited expertise and knowledge--at no cost to us, and without having to dig through a zillion websites or textbooks.
          THANKS MASATO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't even remember all the help I've had--it's like having a hotline to a superhero. Thanks!          Fred

I missed this thread the first time around, too.
Masato has provided me with links and answers a number of times...even, recently, embarrassingly enough, linking to a thread in the Forum that I somehow was not able to find even while trying to search for it...
and MMario rules!

I also think George Seto, Aine, and Phillippa have done a lot to offer help with Celtic music topics, and Malcolm seems to have some scholarly knowledge along those lines!

thanks to all who contribute so much more than BS...and thanks to the more eloquent BS contributors too!

We'll have to work out a way to get Masato-san to the planned 2006 World Mudcat Gathering.

Great work Masato, MMario, Malcolm Douglas and others too numerous to remember for all the knowledge you feed in here. It is greatly appreciated.

I have been around here a fair length of time. I don't recall anyone more willing to help, and with solid information, than these two. I wish there were a way to establish a decent scholarship fund to get these two to the Getaway this fall. It would be wonderful to meet Masato san, and to see Mario again.

Well done, lads.
