He's been a guest for a while and posted some very good stuff in the guitar threads, so he will be a very welcome addition. Today, I extended him an invitation to join, and he did. What a good day this has been. |

24 Sep 00 - 08:02 PM (#304658) Subject: RE: Please Welcome a New 'Cat From: John Hardly Hi All,
Thanks for the introduction moonjen! Thanks for the welcome all! I'll try to be on my best behavior. Your forum has been a great source for me and my guitar and if I can reciprocate I'm glad to tote a barge and lift a bale or two. |

24 Sep 00 - 08:18 PM (#304669) Subject: RE: Please Welcome a New 'Cat From: Little Neophyte Oh John, I think you should lock your wife in the closet and clawhammer your heart out. If it is that offensive for her I suggest you seriously consider replacing this wife of yours with a banjo friendly type. Bonnie |

Welcome to the 'Cat John. We have folks around here in more dire need of a good physic than should be allowed by law. Enter 'anal retentive' in the search engine and 300 names pop out. Enjoy yourself and don't take anything too seriously. Spaw

24 Sep 00 - 08:46 PM (#304687) Subject: RE: Please Welcome a New 'Cat From: John Hardly Ah! Bonnie, Spoken as someone who has not yet heard me! (but man, I do love clawhammer!) Lonesome EJ, I am still in awe of Amos' poetic posting! Your nom-de-cyber was one that I connected with immediately. I was named (John) for my grandfather(EJ)who died the year I was born--sounds like a sad tale but actually, I've always been grateful that my folks chose his middle name or I'd be posting as Elmer Hardly today. Now THAT sounds lonesome. John |

A bunch of scurrilous reprobates, grumpy old guitarists, birkenstock-tossing phoakies, and rude, precocious upstarts -- and that's just the NICE residents so far. Hope you'll find and create lots of friends here. WyoWoman |

Just kidding, welcome. A word of unsolicited advice. Hang out for a little while before you form an opinion of what we are. There are some hysterical discussions and some informative discussions, but sometimes there's a heated debate that turns ugly. In general, the good far outweighs the bad. Get to know some of the repeat offenders here. It gets to a point where you can just look at ther list of who've posted and know it's gonna be a fun thread. Tá failte rómhat.

25 Sep 00 - 02:52 AM (#304875) Subject: RE: Please Welcome a New 'Cat From: BlueJay John- Please allow me to be the fourth official greeter from the Colorado Mudcat Contigent. That makes it almost unanymous. I've no doubt the other(s) will welcome you as well, either online, or here on our own turf! Glad you are here. It's a rare breed of Cat who will so forthrightly admit to clandestine banjo activity as a newcomer. (What crummy sentence structure that was. I hope you get the idea, though, 'cause I'm not going to fix it). Welcome, and enjoy. BlueJay |

Now just mosey on over to the Newcomer's Tavern, I believe it's expanded into Part 2 and partake of the craic, which as I've learned, is spelled a number of different ways, but is generally agreed is pronounce "crack". And Amergin, I had learned it spelled Cead Mille Failthe. But, however it's spelled, your meaning was clear as a bell. |
