Subject: RE: Mudcat and Other Social Networks
I joined facebook because I thought it was really, really important to share my magnificent lighthouse pictures with the world - and nobody looked at them. I got annoyed with the constant Facebook notices that so-and-so wanted to give me a virtual beer or know my favorite movies or moon me or something, and I gave up in disgust. I'm much happier drinking real beer.

I really enjoy listening to Mudcatters on MySpace, but I'm not sure I think I'm good enough to want to share recordings of my own music. I also enjoy many aspects of YouTube (especially the music performances), and use it as a video adjunct to a Website I maintain.

But Mudcat is where I feel at home. I love the discussions, especially the explorations of songs. And it's been so nice to be able to make music in person with so many Mudcatters over the years. I also enjoyed our Mudcat HearMe song circles that we had Way Back When, when Mick and I were competing for the attention of the Fair One in Australia.
