OK, for me here's one of the finest benefits of the mudcat. Usually I credit the exceptional writing (and I'm willing to accept the fuzzy-wuzzy threads with a smile) on political and social issues. But at least 30 times this year it has motivated me to hunt through the thousands of records and dig out (my) collected works of an artist, stay up ALL night and just listen. Last night was A L Lloyd. Bloody Magnificent! Not a great singer in the way that some might want, still as sharp as a scalpel, but MAN could he sell the song! I listened to his ballads, silly songs, and sea Chanteys til five am. Who the hell needs sleep!
