Wonderful indeed.

Right now I'm feeling "that Mudcat Glow," after two different sets of Mudcat house guests this month (Kendall and Sinsull early in the month, then Dick Greenhaus, Susan of DT and MMario last weekend) and Jed Marum's Folklore Society concert and party blast last weekend.

I use the DT constantly as a reference, to find the "rest" of a song, to find songs for a "theme" concert or Open Sing, to find a song I can't get out of my mind, whatever.

But even better than the lyrics, the info, and the chat, the thing that's neatest is getting together with other Mudcatters and finding they're even more interesting, articulate, welcoming, and talented in person. And the musical interactions are just incredible.

Dex, I hope you do stick around, and if you read about a Mudcat gathering in your area, get there if you can, it can be a real joy.
