I'd like to say "Thank You" to Max for the scare he gave us on April 1st. I think, for many of us, it made us aware how much Mudcat has come to mean to us. Look at the tone of the postings since then. There has been an outpouring of love, support, & concern for each other--prayer & hugs intermixed w/ lyrics, midis, etc. We no longer think of ourselves as members of a blues/folk music bulletin board, but, increasingly, we describe ourselves as friends & a community. This is one of the best uses of the Internet--promoting the exchange of information & the building of worldwide community. I have met few of you in the flesh, so far, but I would do anything for you which I could. And I hope to meet & hug many, as time goes on! And now an ad for the website--to promote & maintain that sense of community, please access/join!

my best to you all,
