Wow, here is where I wanna be after finding so many well wishers to greet me as I come in the door.. I could almost hear the trumpets on the hill top. Goodness what a lovely way to come on a site. Ken you sure know how to call in the troupes. This was a 21 gun salute.

I don't think I will ever leave.
I'm Here to stay, here to play
Gonna have fun, I do believe
Need to learn the Mud Cat way
Hope to hear the rest of you
Tell me what I need to do
How to start to become a part
To reside within the Mud Cat Heart.
Love and thanks for a sweet welcome!
Annie

Ahhhh ....... That voice! It sure is great to have you here, and I love the handle you have chosen. I think the last time I saw you was when B, M, & T played The 10 Pound Fiddle at the Kiva on the Michigan State campus. I brought some Subway for you folks, and Ed and I talked about my recording of Along The Famine Road which he had taught to me. Sure was a while ago.

I am just as happy as I can be that you have joined our company. I just wish Sandy was still here to join in the welcoming chorus.

All the best,

Big Mick Lane

Well, we're kinda weird at times...*grin*... but there's enough fun, knowledge and good people to keep one distracted. (and when we NEED more distraction, Kendall can provide..)

Lots of things to learn...if you click the tiny 'faq' at upper right, there a lot of information about how to navigate the joint.

1965 or '66, setting around on a submarine tender tied up at Guam; bought a reel-to-reel tape machine at the PX, and proceeded to borrow a bunch of "big black CDs" to copy unto tape; someone in our division had one titled "The Magic Of Mayo Muir" on the shelf by the turntable; instant love; great to have you with us, Anne!

Hello, Annie-
I guess I'm a latecomer, because I hadn't heard of Bok-Muir-Trickett until the early 1990s. After that, I really wanted to see you perform, but the three of you didn't come here to California much then. I did have one chance, when you were performing in Concord, Mass. My nephew was performing in a school play that night, and I decided that family loyalty required my attendance. It was a very good school play, and it was the only chance I've had to see my nephew perform. Still, it makes me jealous of the East Coast people who had you for so long.

I've met Gordon Bok and Ed Trickett at the annual October Getaway of the Folklore Society of Greater Washington, which is also a gathering spot for many Mudcatters. It would be nice to meet you at the Getaway some October.

I bought Notes from Across the Sea (on MP3) as soon as I saw it mentioned in the other thread, and I enjoyed it very much - but I hope we'll see a few new recordings of your singing in the future. Your recordings have introduced me to so many wonderful songs.

Welcome to Mudcat!

Anne.
I recently posted a photo of you three on my Facebook page. It was at Sharon, CT. You were taking a break during a recording session for Sandy. I showed up almost a week early for my own session there at Folk Legacy.---Showing up unannounced and early was something so many of us musicians did a lot back then--the '80s. Caroline and Sandy never seemed to mind--matter of fact they always made me feel like it was my second home. -- But for me, hearing you and Ed and Gordon in the act of creating an LP was absolutely a pure delight. What a blend you folks created. "Freedom On The Wallaby", "I Knew This Place" --"Turning Toward The Morning"---and a hundred other favorites that kept me going on the road, from gig to gig, for so long...

I just have to thank you, personally, in this public way. I hope you don't mind.

Love to you and yours,
Art Thieme

Now, Ann, if you'd like to feel at home at Mudcat, you can start by seeking out threads with discussions you can contribute to, like Nose flutes - who's making decent ones?. You may wish to stay away from the "What Is Folk?" discussions - they tend to get rather heated.
My favorite threads are the song threads, and we have lots of them.

(I'm really tired of my Grover-Trophy plastic noseflute, and it sure would be nice to have something in highly polished, dark wood)

They don't let me out often enough I suppose. Were it not for the Mudcat I may not even have heard of Bok-Muir-Trickett. I look forward to hearing the music thereof someday and anticipate that I will enjoy it as much as I will your contribution to the madness ... er, uh ... I mean musical discussions and, well, just discussions. Welcome!
