Jerry, thanks for the kind words. We do our best down here in the folk ghetto of Silver Spring and our association with the Mudcat has greatly facilitated our efforts to book, house, feed, (and most important) befriend every good performer who comes our way.
Recently Jed did a house concert with us that was very rewarding for all who participated, and without the Mudcat it would never have happened. And that, of course is only one example.
   I fervently hope that the Mudcat grows to become a network of booking possilities, house concerts, venues and festivals. Let's do our best, all of us, to get the music of our 'family' heard. I'll continue to do my share, whenever and wherever I can. cheers, Chance Shiver
