Uh, Dave.....let's not pay too much attention to Brother Fielding. The cat's a Canadian, married to a Scot, who considered living in the States. He has 3 brothers all named Reg, and when you meet them it's a mixture of "Sgt. Preston" crossed with "Deliverance." The Big RiB above (Roger in Baltimore) has the official statistics, but I think Rick has owned 2376 guitars of which 872 have been stolen and 1 imploded. Don't ask! His best gig was as a tiple player in a Chilean Gospel troupe and he insists on a proper F chord...no one is sure what that is, with most of us stupidly assuming it's a chord that sounds F !!!

Of course there are plenty of other unsavory types around including myself, so exercise caution. Leej (LEJ) for instance, and Banj, and the Ramblin' Sham who can who can type you 5000 words on any subject and while you still have no idea what he's talking about, and your exasperation level has reached the point where the urge to kill is peaking......will suddenly make his entire point in a beautiful and pointed yet poignant piece of poetry...probably our best poet, or at least in the top group.

Also be very careful of the kind and seemingly innocuous types like Alice. From all reports, our best shower singer, but will then turn on you and chastise you for the condition of YOUR shower.

Ahhhhh Dave.......welcome to Mudcat...you're gonna' love it!!!
