I really don´t know when and why I found mudcat. But I did. Never liked discussion forums with their answer threads spreaded up like branches on a tree. I never found what I looked for and sometimes even was disgusted by the style used there. So what a luck when I came across mudcat. From the first minute I liked it not only for getting new lyrics, but for the friendly and very amicable athmosphere here.

Alice, you´re absolutely right. I never thought, a computer could be helpful in playing music, but it really is !
The problem at my place is: Only few are making music, and even fewer like folk. So to whom talk about topics like bodhrán making or where Spancil Hill is.

Most interesting are all the stories behind lyrics. All the stuff added by someone after lyrics were submitted and the thread seemed to be finished. Oh man, the evening I read the boolavogue-thread I really took out my Ireland maps and started making plans about the next trip to Ireland.
All that additional information about songs is also very useful for us for our performances. Songs are worth the double for listeners if they know what the songs are about - and that´s the same for me. Don´t know why, but we added Leaving Nancy to our repertoire now that we know, he sings about his mother.
Well, I don´t intend to write down the story of my life, but just felt to let you know that I feel like lots of you who wrote similar notes above, and that I´m glad to be part of the mudcat community.

All the best for you all, Harald from Berlin, Germany
