WOW! What a greeting! Thanks for the big welcome -- I just read through all 19 pages of this thread. I have been dropping in to the Mudcat site to plunder lyrics for years now, but never explored the site any further. You can blame my being here on Margarita!

I see from some of the names I recognize and some I think I recognize that I am in good company here in the Mudcat Forum.

As Margarita said, I was in the studio yesterday mixing and mastering a CD-single of "When Carissa Came Ashore," my song about the wreck & savage of the New Carissa. Today our dining room will become a small factory as I hand-make a bunch of copies!

Yes, it is true, I am half of the nautical band "Shanghaied on the Willamette," of Portland, Oregon. Since our tagline is "Songs plundered from land and sea," you can see why I am a frequent visitor to the Digital Traditions lyrics database!

Thanks again for the great welcome!
