Here are three tips to help you survive the 1) if approached by a lady wanting to know "Would you like a gift?" - no matter how genteel, innocent or combinations thereof she may appear - the answer is "no!"

Subject: RE: Welcome New catter Steve Shaw From: Jean(eanjay) Date: 16 May 07 - 06:15 PM My husband plays harmonica. Welcome from Yorkshire. |
Subject: RE: Welcome New catter Steve Shaw From: Steve Shaw Date: 16 May 07 - 06:25 PM Heheh. Eanjay, would you say that if you knew that I am a dyed-in-the-wool Lancashire lad? Thanks anyway! :-) |
Subject: RE: Welcome New catter Steve Shaw From: Jean(eanjay) Date: 16 May 07 - 06:29 PM My grandfather was "born and bred" in Lancashire. He worked for years in the cotton mills. |
Subject: RE: Welcome New catter Steve Shaw From: Herga Kitty Date: 16 May 07 - 06:38 PM Steve - we're used to people migrating round the country. It's just good to know that they'll be welcome in the folk club they turn up to. Breezy sang a "Devon" song at Herga on Monday. He sang it with a Geordie accent, because it was written by Ben Campell, just around the corner. Kitty PS if you're dyed-in-the-wool Lancashire, I hope you're following the thread on Harry Boardman, even though you're not posting to it. |
Subject: RE: Welcome New catter Steve Shaw From: Jim Lad Date: 16 May 07 - 06:43 PM Hey Steve: What does "Blow the man down" mean? |
Subject: RE: Welcome New catter Steve Shaw From: Sue the Borderer Date: 16 May 07 - 07:02 PM Hi again Steve Derek and Doreen used to be regulars but we haven't seen them much recently. Last time was in January when they joined us for Bideford Folk Club's long weekend away at the Lizard Youth Hostel. I'll make sure he knows about the stuff going on in Bude and Stratton. Sue |
Subject: RE: Welcome New catter Steve Shaw From: Steve Shaw Date: 16 May 07 - 07:46 PM Hey, I have trouble even finding threads let alone posting to 'em! I always thought that blow the man down was an entreaty to blast the enemy ship, or man o' war, right out of the water, but as I know this as a rumour only I daren't post it to that thread with all those knowledgeable people. Surely someone from Friggin Riggin would know. Anyway I'm all too often taken up with starting/continuing/maintaining flameaceous threads on The Session dotorg. Heheh! Derek is often to be seen angling on Bude Canal on a Sunday morning and I could seek him out there, but it's the close season at present (I expect the uneatables in the canal quite enjoy that). I see him every now and then and he's in good nick as far as I know. We go back quite a long way in our connection with The Tree folk club. But I wonder why Doreen always closes her eyes when she's listening to Derek sing... ;-) |
Subject: RE: Welcome New catter Steve Shaw From: Jim Lad Date: 16 May 07 - 08:01 PM Oh, I'd say you belong here. Welcome once again from the Highlands on Vancouver Island, Not Vancouver, BC, Canada. all those knowledgeable people..... hmph! |
Subject: RE: Welcome New catter Steve Shaw From: Alice Date: 16 May 07 - 08:06 PM Steve, welcome to Mudcat, from Montana. Alice Flynn |
Subject: RE: Welcome New catter Steve Shaw From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 16 May 07 - 09:43 PM Stevie boy - stay on yur island
There are lots and lots of webfolks that welcome yur type.
Find them. Seek them out. Prim them. Cultivate your kindred kind.
Don't come here. We are AMERICAN folk, blues, jazz, and most of the drivel contributed by the UK contingent is worthy of a piss-pot initiation to Friar Tuck's Band of Morris Dancers.
Sincerely,
|
