Well hello, I've been attending this site for a while now, but this is a wonderful opportunity to introduce myself (Thanks, Rick--great idea for a thread). I'm Tom, I live in St. Louis (on Comfort Avenue, you might have guessed). I play guitar & autoharp, and penny-whistle & (for the past year or so) melodeon (for our local Morris dance group).

Yes I've been sorta quiet--a lurker, or maybe just the wallflower type--but I must say I enjoy this site. I am soooooooooo glad you all are "out there," makes the world seem like a much friendlier place.

Perhaps I'll be less wallflowerish & get in & dance more often. How about a waltz? Thank you, one & all.

Tom
