I don't really have any friends into folk music these days (and that circle has gotten smaller in past years) due to friends moving far away and or/not in contact with them now. Used to have some friends that were really into folk music at one time - but over the years, due to different circumstances, I am not in contact (in person) with the folk friends anymore.
So as I have gotten older, just no communication with the folk friends I once had.
I am very glad for Mudcat and even though I have never met anyone in person it is so nice to read the threads or post threads all related to folk music.

Sure, not every single thread interests me but many, many do and it is great to find people who enjoy the same folk music, singer/groups that you listen to. There have been so many wonderful threads especially about, "Whatever happened to? or "What are they doing now?" (with all different obscure artists) names. Often times, people do know what became of such and such a person.

I have found answers to many questions over the years on Mudcat;
about songs, about various singers and just all kinds of interesting things!

So many, many thanks for this wonderful site and great people who participate and read Mudcat threads!
