Mudcat is a community. It has its good times and bad times. It has people who like each other and people who don't like each other. At any given time there are conversations about nearly anything under the sun. The intended common ground is a love of folk and blues music but I suspect not all have that love. No matter. This community does pull together when necessary, as witness the thread about my wife's death. (By the way, the memorial service is tomorrow and I'll think I'll survive it.) I remember when Spaw's life was in jeopardy, and Barry Finn's as well. Kendall's cancer, and many others I'm too tired to remember.

It's a great place from where I stand.

I'm really glad to be a part of it.
