I still remember the wonder I felt as a young folkie just starting out in Celtic music, when I first discovered the DT on the old Xerox PARC server. Being relatively isolated down here in South Florida, I was amazed to be able to find the lyrics (and even tunes!) to what were then to me, relatively obscure songs. When Max brought the Mudcat online, I discovered a whole new world of people who shared my love for Trad music, and better still, so much of the history behind it!. I have yet to meet any 'Catters - (Hey Max, you still owe me a date!! lol) but in Spirit I have both loved and lost many down through the years. I rarely post for a long time now, but I still check in from time to time. Happy Birthday Mudcat! May you have many more. <3

That Auction was definitely one of my favorite moments. I still miss the chatroom, too, hehe...
