I am kind of shy. Probably consider myself a FSGW person not really much of a mudcatter- don't follow the BS threads usually and drop out for months at a time. I love to sing, but not being an instrumentalist I tend to avoid those jamming. I missed Old Getaway times when someone would say "hey there's singing going on in so-and-so's cabin. Come on." and off we'd go. But I never did find the late night singing- actually I was fighting a coldish thing and was better off going to bed 1 o'clock. I would have felt quite uncomfortable going to the mudcatter cabin to sing- shucks I'm not even sure which one it was. I should not require a special invite. Most of this I see as my problem of lack of assertiveness. I was touched that Mick greeted me by name and that I hugged Jeri good bye and of course I love KarenK. Relationships take time-so it is for the merging of families. -Lorraine
