Just wanted to introduce myself. I am familiar with mudcat, and for several years sat at the sidelines reading the posts and forum. I guess it has been about 5 years ago now a friend of mine past away. "Big Jim From Jackson" I posted about his death at that time.

Anyhow, It was big Jim that got me hooked on Mudcat. I finally have more free time now, and have been writing songs, and playing out publicly. I've loved music all my life. Began playing banjo at 12. Then moved on to mountain dulcimer, guitar, washboard, autoharp, and the Uke. I've been a folk enthusiast for about 10 years now, and love hearing new artist, learning old and new songs, and just sitting back and absorbing the knowledge of the more educated members of the folk community. I'm a big fan of anyone from Dave Carter to the Seekers, and John Williamson to the Classic Pete Seeger.

I look forward to make new acquaintances, and sharing and learning in the vast folk knowledge base that Mudcat provides.

Thanks.
