I sent some recordings to some Mudcatters I trust just before I thought I might lose my voice for good. I thought the recordings were AWFUL... I was ashamed of them but I wanted somebody to have them. Two wanted to set up a link to them... thought they were wonderful in their "rawness" with all the mistakes. I said no. And I will until I am on my way out the back door. I will always feel that I slighted those Mudcatters and I feel sorry to this day that I said I was ashamed of those recordings. I can't explain why but I am more ashamed that I said to them that I was ashamed of the recordings.

But, I gotta say, it lifted my spirits and it taught me one of the lessons stated above... BIG time.

Like 9 said, keep on keeping on.
