No, I'd be off like a new bride's nightie. In 1997, it was a great place, one didn't even have to be a member. Lots of music and humour and humanity. This lasted IMHO until around the Fall of 2000. There are so many wonderful memories. The 1999 FSGW/Mudcat gathering was magical. Annap's second gathering was magical (didn't attend the first). Friendships made went to the core. Mudcat Radio every Tuesday night. The first HearMe sessions. It was like being part of a large extended family. I faux pas'd badly and lost my Mudcat family, however, the magical memories will stay will me forever.

Mudcat is not the same and it has not evolved into something better, but I suppose that is part of the many chances one takes in life. I drop in about once a month, just to see if any of my old friends are posting anything good. Rarely do I see them.
