I did write in the liner notes for the Mudcat WATER CD that "I personally would like to dedicate the new Mudcat CDs to all our dear departed Mudcatters who have over these past 15 years given us a great deal of pleasure through their music and contributions to the threads" , hence I endorse a thread dedicated to these lovely folk. I also like Bonnie's idea of extending it to other people who have made significant contributions to our kind of music, whatever that may be. Whilst there are differences between the two strains, it seems a little churlish to have two seperate threads, so I go for the greater range and celebrate all under one banner.

A couple of names to add from me; (one in each "strain")Teresa Tooley and Eva Casidy
