folk world helped BBCW move on. Well I wouldn't say folk music helped me move "on" from my daughter's passing. More a lateral move. Sometimes the folk music and the folk people make the grief harder, because I want her to have lived to be involved in the music and meet the people.

Anyway

David, here's more thoughts going out to you.

Perhaps "move on" was the wrong phrase, but I was in danger of becoming emotionally catatonic. Seeing the vitality of various persons I knew, that represented the "folk world" to me, it showed me that I should not become so for my own health.

I don't suppose that there was a Mudcat or its equivalent back then but the empathy from folkies, so well shown here, was evident just the same.

Best wishes to all.

Bless you BBCW... from my mind and heart through your fingers on to this thread.

Most definitely the people of Mudcat help immensely.
