The challenge here is I tend to think of Mudcatters in clusters and mostly of those I've already met on my travels from midcoast Maine. There are those nice folks in Sydney-AU, San Francisco-CA, Portland-OR, New York City-NY, and Portsmouth-NH. Mutcat has been a great resource to me for identifying people in such faraway places who enjoy the same kind of nautical music/drinking songs/Appalacian songs and outrageous parodies of the same as I indulge in.

However, Joe Offer gets special mention for his consistent efforts to keep this network going as well as being a fine person and singer. Amos, whom I've never met, gets special mention for his thoughtful posts, unusual quirky humor, occasional irate blasts and for a song collaboration or two. Naemanson gets special mention as a long time friend furthest removed to Guam, whose journal has kept our attention for over a year. And Guest Corridus, whom nobody's met, deserves mention for his exciting adventures; will he fall victim to commercial success? Only time will tell.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
