I'm very new to Mudcat and liking it very much. I realized that some folks have used the service to find other like minded people. I have been into this music since I was a teenager (over 30 years), have sung and played with family, been in a band for a few years and after pursuing a career/self-employment and most lately finishing another bout with school I find myself starved for musical companionship. Is there anyone in SE Ohio that wants to jam? I especially like to sing (some harmony), am learning the harp and have some familiarity with fretted instruments. I prefer doing traditional songs, especially ballads (the older and more obscure and poetical the better), but also like good quality composed songs with a message. I also used to know a fair number of tunes though I haven't played regularly with a group for about 8 years. I have a LARGE collection of songs.
