Thread Name: Happy Birthday Mudcat! (born October 1, 1996)
Subject: RE: Happy Birthday Mudcat!
20 years... That's some birthday..

if internet years are anything like dog years, that's getting on a bit by human standards....

20 years ago I didn't even own a computer and was very resistant to the internet and it's encroachment on face to face contact and communication..

I still lived in East london, scrabbling a living as a photographic industry assistant/technician, artists model,
and guitarist & publicist in a short lived almost nearly famous for 15 seconds electro synth rock band.....

I'd just about completely forgotten folk music even existed...

Then I got sick of that lifestyle, moved back home to unsophisticated provincial Scrumpyshire,
and rediscovered my muddy cowshite & cider apple roots....

..and a few years later, whilst remembering my teenage enthusiasm for folk rock & Trad folk music, chanced upon mudcat.... 😜

Now I'm just a boring fat aging married bloke with dodgy feet and knees.....
