Well Art, it looks like you stirred up some interesting thoughts about the BS at Mudcat. I often go through the same kind of moods or thoughts, but usually try to understand that every thread can't be what I want it to be. I refrain from the Tavern and can't even begin to say why, I guess it's because I don't frequent the places in real life and just avoid the virtual Tavern. I'm probably missing out on something good.
I only mention this hoping you are in a blue mood and will see something there that will capture your attention and you can jump right back in there. I see the MC much like learning songs, By the time I put one to memory from practing over and over, I'm getting tired of it and it loses some of it's excitement. I still like the song, It just seems to lose the excitement I once found in it.Is it possoble you are experiencing the same with the MC/DT? You can't just drop out for lack of bells and whistles.
I probably spend more time on the BS threads than the "music", it's because I can always find the music but I can't always find what some one thinks about regarding the subject of music, or just BS.
Just hang in there partner, we all take our breaks from time to time. The likes of Art Thieme is what makes the MC/DT so great.
