Subject: RE: Teens. The next generation... From: MMario Date: 30 Mar 00 - 10:48 PM Don't believe him, he can't possibly have time to read. Not with everything else he does. Not unless he's managed to clone himself. |
Subject: RE: Teens. The next generation... From: Mbo Date: 30 Mar 00 - 10:45 PM Me me! I do! My college library has a good collection of books on Irish & Scottish music. I can be found sitting at the table, reading a book of Gaelic wauking songs from the Outer Hebrides, with a book on the histoty of Great Highland Bagpipe music next in the stack! --Mbo |
Subject: RE: Teens. The next generation... From: Eleanor Date: 30 Mar 00 - 10:20 PM now what i'm curious to know is: are any of my fellow gen-X'ers out there into research over performing? weird, I know..... :) I do have my obsession with singing, but would love to know who else likes pouring over dusty books on folk/Irish music. |

Subject: RE: Teens. The next generation... From: Eleanor Date: 30 Mar 00 - 10:07 PM can't trust anybody under thirty? isn't that backwards? :) as a 20-year old myself, I'm thrilled to find i'm not alone in what seems sometimes to be a "grown-up" area.... although I know some that will never be grown-up! |
Subject: RE: Teens. The next generation... From: Lonesome EJ Date: 30 Mar 00 - 08:46 PM Bert, I can't imagine what it must be like to be "permanently stuck in the fifties with Roger the Skiffler." Maybe a little like being stuck in the Sixties with Katlaughing, Spaw, Peter, Amos and Neil ? Anyway, I think it's far out that the young kids are involved. Although, they say you can't trust anybody under thirty... LEJ (grinning geezer) |
Subject: RE: Teens. The next generation... From: paddymac Date: 30 Mar 00 - 06:47 PM The marvelous thing about cyberworld communication is that all of us are judged soley on the merit of our contributions to the flow of ideas. The usual visual cues (including apparent age) by which we assess (often, unconsciously) our need to pay attention to peoples' comments are simply not available. My own philosophy is simple: Growing old is unavoidable(if you're lucky); growing up is optional! Welcome to the clan Coley. |
Subject: RE: Teens. The next generation... From: Mbo Date: 30 Mar 00 - 06:17 PM Good to have you here, Coley! You'll fit in perfectly here, believe me! And don't forget to check out the Song Challenge!s, to keep the songwriters in all of us on our toes! --Mbo |
Subject: RE: Teens. The next generation... From: Bert Date: 30 Mar 00 - 06:01 PM I THOUGHT you were a 'Son of Son of a something' ;-) |
Subject: RE: Teens. The next generation... From: Coley The Geordie Date: 30 Mar 00 - 05:29 PM Well I can't believe my eyes, so many replys in such a short space of time. Well, like I said, I'm 16. I live in Washington, England. Near Newcastle. Home of The Lambton Worm! I'm a Geordie born and bred. The son of the son of a miner... I go to college where I am doing a course in Popular music. I like most types of music especially folk. I play guitar and bass and sing. I write my own songs and thats about it. If I have missed any vital details out just let me know... Oh, and thanks for replying, its nice to know people care! |
Subject: RE: Teens. The next generation... From: roopoo Date: 30 Mar 00 - 05:01 PM 48 must be an common age for us old'uns. There's a 20 year old in me, but my body won't let her out to play!(I'm the mother of 2 teenage girls, which is enough to age anybody, and a lad of nearly 21). To be honest, having seen the age of some of the younger 'catters, I am amazed at how articulate and mature they are. I had no idea there were people of such tender years with us. Or is that just me showing my age? There is so much talent in the young musicians who are emerging these days. I sometimes wonder what their own offspring will be playing like! mouldy |
Subject: RE: Teens. The next generation... From: Bert Date: 30 Mar 00 - 12:04 PM Hi Coley, Great to have you here. It's a fun place where age doesn't matter. What do you sing/play? send us a tape or CD and we'll play it on Mudcat Radio. And remember that an old fart who's a folkey, has a teenager inside. I'm permanently stuck in the Fifties along with Roger the Skiffler. |
Subject: RE: Teens. The next generation... From: Wesley S Date: 30 Mar 00 - 11:21 AM Coley - As an old fart - 48 years old - I hope that all of the younger members feel welcomed here. Because it will be you "whippersnappers" that keep these musical traditions alive . You'll be another link in the chain. Just like we were. Do your best to pass it on. Thanks for coming on board. Tell us about yourself. |
Subject: RE: Teens. The next generation... From: Mooh Date: 30 Mar 00 - 09:04 AM Welcome aboard Coley! I was born in the fifties, which qualifies me as permanently teenaged. I'm more idealistic, and no more responsible than when I was 16, but I am more experienced, whatever that's worth. I don't plan on getting old, ever, and I plan to live forever. There's always gonna be stuff I miss, regardless of my chronological age, that's why I need folks like you, and maybe that's why you need folks like me. Your perceived absence of youth on this site might be caused by the intelligence of the contributors. My own kids are much more worldly than I was at their age, and I hope it works to their advantage in life. I hadn't tried to attach ages to each writer here, now it's gonna be fun to try. Peace. |

Subject: Teens. The next generation... From: GUEST,Coley The Geordie Date: 30 Mar 00 - 07:40 AM Since I stumbled upon this site a few days ago, floating around, sending the odd message, it soon became clear to me that there was an absence of youth. Now I don't mean to be offensive to any older members, but being of only sixteen years myself I need people of my own age. SO WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY?????
