I had a feeling this thread was bound to become a "try to top me" thing. Okay, here's mine:

I have had the honor of meeting well over 200 Mudcatters over the past decade and a half (plus or minus). I used to keep track of how many, but gave up somewhere in the mid 100's. Virtually all of them turned out to be nice, friendly, and often generous folks. Sure, I can think of an exception or two. One bragged about boning his kid's babysitter. Another screwed another 'Catter out of a whole lot of money. But far more often than not, Mudcatters have been among the nicest people I have ever had the opportunity to meet. Yes, I've met a number of "famous" people; but they weren't any better, any nicer, or any more generous with their music than the Mudcatters I have come to know. That's enough for me.
