I have now been a member of Mudcat for about 30 mins. I was introduced to Mudcat by Adrien "BEER" some time ago, loved the site and Danny "CLIPPER" was over here tonight and helped me get set up. I was born in 1929-you do the math- the same year Blind Lemon Jefferson died. When I first heard Huddie Ledbetter that was it. Blues and more blues. I play with Danny "Clipper" and he said we were the Hugh and Danny's blues group. Hey Danny we're the Danny and Hugh's Blues remember? We'll be playing together at the Apple Hollow Music Fest in July and hope to see lots of you there. I live in Hinchinbrooke, Que not far from Clipper and Beer.
I'm still playing my old 1954 Martin O-15. I love blues, bluegrass, down east songs of the sea (love to hear Beer sing those songs). Looking forward to more of this fantastic site!
Cheers

My mom was born in 1929. She's passed on now. If you don't mind--in her memory--I'll call you Sheila. Welcome to the Mudcat Cafe, Ma.

Thanks for your message. Interesting 'cause my sisters name is Sheila and she was born in 1928.

You may no longer be a teenager (neither am I) but one would never know it when you play and sing the blues.A very good singer-musician who I'm looking forward to hearing at the festival. Welcome to Mudcat! I'm sure you'll like it!

Yet another welcome. This one's from some guy in Laurel, Maryland USA, near Washington DC.

We have here the equivalent of a school, a multinational community, a sounding board, even a swap meet at times. Make of it what you will and I'll look forward to seeing your posts.

If I was over jamming last night, do I still need to send you a welcome? Regardless, welcome Hugh. I think we've both found the promised (folk)land simeltaneously. I'm sure you'll enjoy everyone's warmth and sense of humour as much as I.

Thanks to all for the great messages of welcome.
I guess 1929 was a good year-PEACE'S Mom's birth, NERD'S Dad's birth, FAT B ****RD'S parent's married. Don't forget the year of the stock market crash-it wasn't my fault.
WYSIWYG I do like hockey but not too thrilled tonight-5 to 1 Boston. Ouch!
Beer, thanks for introducing me to the Mudcat! Great site.
Hope to see as many of you as possible at APPLE HOLLOW FEST this summer. It will be awsome!.
Good Gawd! Past old fart's bedtime.
Goodnight.

Not that it matters a hill of beans, and not that this isn't something that hasn't happened before, but I confess that I'm sooo confused...

Reading this thread "Martin Sr" has been called "Martin", and "Shiela", and "Ma". So I thought it was kinda interesting but I thought that "Martin Sr" was a she. But now I read that Martin Sr's name is "Hugh".

Oh so, Martin Sr is a bluesman and not a blueswoman?

Again, not that this has that much to do with the price of beans in Boston. Which by the way is not where I'm from.

Ms.Azizi's in the house from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, sayin' Welcome, Martin Sr.!

Just saw this thread. Allow me to welcome you to Mudcat from the Province of Alberta. I think it's Alberta, anyway. Ya just never know what they do with highway signs these days. This could be Boise for all I know. Or Manitoba. But if it was Boise, I'd welcome you from a city instead, so before anyone gets confused, we hope you have enjoyed your flight.
