Subject: RE: Mudcat (THE WORLD)Let us know where you are.
What a great thread weaving through our community to form a wonderfully colorful moasic of people, time, place, and song. My real name is Phil Norton. I came out of the closet (car & shower) in '89 to begin to publicly enjoy and share folk music with others thanks to the support and encouragement of Robt & Susan Kilheffer and Kate McDonald of the Branfrod/New Have, CT area. Barbara Shaw, I attended a couple of house hoots at Dave Green's and we hosted one in North Branford. I don't know if I ever met you, but I hope to do so in the future. I fit the "mudcat mold" pretty well. I'm twice retired (U.S. Marine Infantry Officer, and United Technologies Engineering Manager). We left CT in '91 for Oklahoma, where I now work for OK State Univ in an engineering outreach program assisting small rural manufacturers employ modern engineering and business practices. I've been to Pinewoods 2x, Swanannowa, Augusta, and Winfield 3x; Pinewoods is my favorite and I hope to go again in '99. We have a very active folk music club, the Oklahoma City Traditional Music Association, click here . Please stop by and share a song with us.
