This is what I meant in my thread about GUESTS identifying themselves with a name. (any name) A number of good folks took this thread at face value and explained mudcat stuff to the poster. I'm sure however, that quite a few others perceived a possible controversy troll happening here, because of recent events, and ignored the post entirely.(I know they did, actually). Had GUEST at least come back to say thanks, I would have welcomed the effort.

It also includes, as I just discoverd, links to places all over Cyberland where you can buy more music than your credit card condones. Go up top and click on the fish, then heat up your Visa buying yet another CD someone has mentioned on here.

I've probably bought $300 worth of music since I first started hanging out here in May, but I didn't know until tonight that we can go to Amazon.com through this site and Max gets a percentage. I have a new bookmark and I promise to use it assiduously.

G'day,
And don't forget the site also includes the Digital Tradition folk song database where you'll find lyrics & tunes to thousands of folksongs. Look for the "DigiTrad Lyrics Search" box at the top of the forum home page.

Cheers,
Alan

Neil, I don't think little birds think "hmmmm." I have one at home and usually it thinks "fooood". Sometimes "lookitme, lookitme". And sometimes just pure "Eeeek!!!".

It is the sound of one hand clapping. It is a little bird, thinking, "hmmmmmm......" It is no one hearing the sound a forest makes when it falls on a tree.

Or something.

Regards, Neil

What's a mudcat? It's an ugly fish that tastes great when filetted, dipped in sweetened condensed milk, then eggs, then cornflake crumbs, and then gently pan-fried in butter. What's a Mudcatter? Well, that's a whole different kettle of fish. Adjectives that come to mind include: loving, lovable, zany, goofy, intelligent, informed, helpful, caring, generous, worldly, artistic, diverse, entertaining, creative, forgiving, witty, ascerbic, irrascible, long-winded, sexy, partyers, patient, understanding, tolerant, and many others that generally define the human condition. Get yourself a pint, then plop your butt down in a chair by the fire and chat for a while. I trust you'll fall in love with our family.

I can tell you that this bunch of people saved my sanity when I had insomnia by giving me something to do and someone(s) to talk to in the wee small hours and then, when I asked, had about 40 different cures or aids to sleeping. This place is wonderful

If you don't offend someone, you're probably not doing it right.

Spend some time cruising the threads and you'll quickly see 'Cats discuss all kinds of things in this and many other universes :>). Get a name, so we know how to address you, (by registering) and see the recent thread "Help:New Member" for some of the folderol that goes on around here.

It's a fine group and we all look like idiots here sooner or later, so don't worry about it. Welcome.

If you just explore the current batch of threads you'll see what a wide-ranging bunch it is. But we are all here because we play, or sing, or enjoy, or recite, or create blues and folkmusic of some sort.

I would browse through about a months worth of threads and make a decision for myself. Musically oriented topics are probably "safest", especially if slanted towards blues or folk or traditional songs. The SITE is dedicated to Blues and Folk. The FORUM per the owner (Max)is not.

Im new here and i was wondering what Mudcat is all about. It says that it is dedicated to blues and folk music. I was wondering if it is only limited to discussion about this topic, or if any topic is open? Please give me a feel about what is acceptiable so I dont look like an idiot by offending someone. Thanks.
