I just joined "The Clan" as well, at Deckman's suggestion, who isn't blood, but next best thing (or better, as we've discussed at times). The real reason is that I became curious to see what you all look like and a little about you, if you put some personal things out there to share. I'm kind of shy these days, so I might not do that, because I'm not really on the par with the people who play and sing folk music regularly. But having two good friends (Dear Walt Robertson, and then Deckman, who I inherited from the former...bless em) and reading and writing here for a while now.. I guess I realize that the desire in us to be a part of a tribe, even an online one, can be most tantalizing. I'll try my best not to be obnoxious, or any of the other things on the list at the beginning of the first "no longer a guest" thread, but if I am, I know damn well there will be people to remind me to watch my p's and q's (let me know if you ever want to know where expressions like that come from...that's the kind of thing I can offer.)...e
