I was looking for lyrics to a song. Google brought me here.

One reason I joined this site was that the discussions by interesting and mature people here are a welcome change from discussions on sites I oversee.

That's sort of true. I found Mudcat entirely by accident while I was looking for something else.

I think if you are interested in folk music, Mudcat will keep coming up in the searches - it would take a very determined soul to keep his snout out totally.

I was at the Rochester Sweeps singing at session in the Good Intent. Essex Girl introduced herself to me, invited me to her June BBQ and said that I should join Mudcat, so I did.

I told her that I would join under the name of VirginiaTam (combination of the state I am from and my first name).

Got into some email conversation with Jeri. I think from a subject in rec.music.celtic in 1999


I may have drifted here before but that was the event that got me trying to read and take an interest here. It did not turn out at times (and not that I am without blame on some things) the happiest place for me which is part the reason I post as Guest these days - I've no desire to be involved in PMs but events like folkinfo blowing up, feeling a need to announce here then finding a thread that interests me and wanting to join in have funny ways of drawing me back.

That's what I remember and hope, too, Jon. I've certainly thought of you as a friend for many years now. You always come to mind when I wear the carnelian necklace you made and put in the auction which my sister won AND when I look at and handle the tumbled stones you sent from the beach. I love them. I think I mentioned, Night Owl asks after you every now and then. She and I still have such good memories of late night HearMe sessions with you dazzling us with your talent and ability. The HearMe sessions got her through some awfully dark nights after the house fire and all.

Drifting but are you still in touch with Night 'Owl?

Have not played with a stone in years but I still enjoy the look of a piece of carnelian or a lapis lazuli or a rose quartz or a bit of agate...

I talk to her almost every day. She's caring for her very live-wired 100 year old mother and pitching in for her 98 yr old aunt, too!

I love them, but I think carnelian is still my fav. though amethyst and malachite AND lapis are also right up there. I love the combo of amber, turquoise, and amethyst.

Sorry for the drift, folks. It's old home week at the Mudcat.:-)

Well my last post is not strictly true... I joined properly in May 2008 because of EssexGirl. But I have wandered in before under guest poetspider looking for lyrics and earliest visit was in 1998 or 99 when AllanC who worked at the same community college invited me to check out a recording of him on Mudcat radio. That is going way way back.

So does that make me Mudcat old timer?

A local performer who became a Facebook Friend would post information about others. One time I asked her how she knew who had passed away before I'd heard it from other sources. She said, "Mudcat." I had to find out what that was. For a while I just dropped in occasionally to read posts. Then I felt compelled to comment on a few threads, so I became GUEST, Janet. Finally I realized I was totally hooked, but when I tried to become a member there was a technical problem. A few weeks later I saw that Joe had created an alternate way to register, so I did.

I had heard someone mention about Mudcats a while back but didn't venture because I didn't think I knew enough about folk apart from the things I had always liked to take a look. Then a few months ago I came across it (at work) when looking for something more to do with Folk Rock really I was looking to see what Lindisfarne was doing now. Anyway I saw Mudcats and clicked on and was surprised to see that it wasn't 'firewalled' hey hey. The funny thing is although I don't know anyone physically I imagine what everyone looks like and I am getting to know the personalities of different people which is also interesting.
