For me, this place is the Folk equivalent of a combination of all the following elements....based on simultaneous viewing :

An hour of:

Regis & Kathy Lee
Sally Jesse
Jerry Springer
Andy of Mayberry
Oprah
Cheers

(......it IS a compliment.......)

Gawd, Uncle Milty! I had hoped we were at least a little above that!

Of course we could start a thread on what a bummer it is when your 13-year-old grandson steals your girlfriend and see where that'll take us.

Hi Milty, you've been gone for so long, missed that late night humor you were always known for. At this time & hour it's at least far better than watching them & it is folk, or is it? OH NO, not again. Barry

I dunno..... I think it's maybe like a combination of reading Sing Out, Funny Times, a folksong society newsletter, a church bulletin, with notices of sick and shut-ins, deaths, etc; writing letters to the editor and Dear Abby that always get printed, and getting answers immediatly; listening to your favorite stand-up comic's newest routine; getting together with your favorite musicians, and the world's best audience, for an open circle in the friendliest bar in the world; answering a survey in a magazine, and seeing results immediatly; getting your librarian to look up stuff for you; getting tech support from the warmest, kindest techies you've ever heard of; and listening to your favorite and most informative folk radio show, only it's playing all requests, and it's on all the time; all rolled into one!!!

Hi Uncle Milty, I don't think we have met yet.
Very glad to meet you.
I can appreciate your description of Mudcat.
Mary summed up this place quite nicely too.
Sometimes people seem to be upset about how much things have changed around here. I think your postings are a comforting reminder how truly wonderful this place really is.
I have another relative here; Uncle Charles Seed. Now that I am a young lady, Mother thought it was wise if I stopped sitting on his lap.

Pleased to meet you, Uncle Milty.
I think there also tends to be a dose of The Simpsons every now and then, and a little of NPR's Morning Edition or All Things Considered, too.
