Oh that is a HARD one!

I'd have to say that my faves are the ones where people post the background of a song/tradition/style. The information here is astounding! I have learned so much...which is why I cannot vote for a single thread.

:D

Thank you, Jack the Sailor, I'm flattered, but I'm sure the REAL curmugeon, Kendall Morse, will never forgive you for picking me over him :>)

"Tales of Walt Robertson". I printed it out and read it every once in a while. The stories told revealed so much more about the posters than about Walt and reminded me that 20 years from now, I may be offering similar insights to a much younger generation of Mudcatters. The of course there is "Dainty Davie" and his curly pow.

I haven't seen Dave around for a while either. I know he's been busy with life. He was fine the last time I saw him, about 3 months back.

If MattR is reading this: Happy Holidays, Love. You are missed but I am also very happy that you are too busy to be here. For the record, the very first time I ever heard "The Fields Of Athenry" was on your tape. Ironic, isn't it? The most done to death folkie type song and I hear it from our folk rock guru, Mbo.

Dainty Davey's curly pow fell victim to a fast spreading trash fire...........Bite me Sins.

The Raglan Road thread was fascinating. Almost as many interpretations of the lyrics as ways to sing it. Then again Spaw fairly waxed poetic when it came to Songcatcher.

I'm sure I heard a rumor that Matt had gone to Scotland to study guitar with Tony McManus ........

From across the pond....
Have appreciated the help and advice from many quarters of the US, and elsewhere. during a very difficult year personally, but, even worse for others.
In my first year "Of the Cat" (just to keep it musical, albeit tangentially!)
I'd like to renew my membership, if that's OK with "The inner circle!!"
I still don't have a clue what Spaw, (and others) are banging on about, but, one day I'll work it out.
See you all in 2002. I'm off to relax and work, (in equal portions) over the next week, and if anyone can get to the Dingwalls gig in Camden Town London on New Years day with the Bhundu boys etc, I'll be the one throwing drumkits about, and swearing loudly.
Respect to all
