Hi Folks, Many thanks to my old pal Rick Fielding for his kindly introduction to Mudcat and thanks also to Jimmy C (Jimmy Cushnan, formerly of the Tinkers), of days gone by, for his duplicate welcome.

Some of you I know through my travels over the years, like that "wee highland laddie" hisself, Lil' John Cameron.Sure dont seem like 30 years. Hi Jerry Rasmussen, we met a few years ago at Sandy Hook Conn.when I was down helping out on Rick's first CD "Lifeline" recorded at Sandy and Caroline Paton's Folk Legacy Studios. Had the pleasure of meeting Jeri, at Rick's little backyard garden party a couple of months ago. Havent seen John "Leeder" since you were at Kearney, and I think you were visiting Hilda Allen.Hi to Mike Crocker "Mooh" and yes I do remember meeting you at Stephen Charles's " Collingwood Celtic Continuum" as I recall, we talked "Mando-thingies" Also a thankyou to my new Mudcat friend Jean Ritchie "Kytrad" Hope you liked my version of that wonderfull song you wrote "The L&N". For those of you that I havent formerly met, but took the time to welcome me,I say thank you all and hopefully someday we can meet in person. I am starting to recognize a good few of the names and feel a kinship with all of the folks who are "MUDCAT".

Thankyou, and all the best, Glen
