Welcome, Keith! I'm guessing that if you're from Selby you already know Bill and Sam- give them best regards from Stateside for us, will you? The Mudcat is a strange and wonderful place, and the more time you spend here the better you will know that. Best of all, if you contribute fairly regularly you will get all kinds of varied responses from the different personalities that seem to live here all the time.
Some of us have met at different places. Bill Sables met a lot of us at the Old Songs Festival in New York last June; there have been gatherings in New Jersey, Washington DC and the west coast of the US as well as other smaller meetings here and there. So, welcome to you!
Allison
