Thanks for the Welcome to New Members! I apologize for coming across in recent threads as sarcastic and/or belligerent and/or uninformed. Last night I decided to play the drunken boor at The Mudcat Mellow Tavern. Bad Plan! Amergin put me in my place though, and I ended up begging for a hug. Well, I never was real good at role playing anyway, but I am genuinelly interested in all that Mudcat Cafe Radio has to offer otherwise. wdyat12

Welcome, wdyat12, and well said, 'nuff said!

Ya know, somewhere around this computer I have a bookmark to one of the finest FAQs around, on netiquette in particular for the kinds of stories that are often told at the Tavern-- guidelines for character-to-character interaction. Would you do me a favor? Would you bug me till I dig it up and post the link to it somewhere here at the Mudcat?

I'd appreciate it. It's long overdue so people don't get their tit in a wringer, their panties in a wad, their twiddly bits in an electric outlet....

Who is Sarah the Flute...I play in a Euro-Celtic Ceilidh band called The Flying Chaucers (see website for details). As well as floots & whistles I do the calling and spend a lot of time shouting at people on a Saturday night!!! I do some singing with another band called Morrighan so this Mudcat site is a treasure trove!!! Enuf of me - can ANYONE help with the request I posted today???. My first attempt at this. Thanks to all for the welcome.

Hey, cowboypoet, thanks for introducing yourself. My grandpa used to sing a version of Captain Wedderburns Courtship long,long ago, so your 70 page paper sounds interesting enough to read! I haven't checked the DT yet but if your scholarship isn't in there, maybe someday you could add it?

I am pretty new too so I guess I have to step up and introduce. I just like ballads and beautiful tunes and Donegal roots music. Usedta sing for people but got a few too many 'you know any James Taylor' requests and stopped trying. Grew up in Chicago with all the other marymargarets but have spent my adult life mostly in the South. I'm in Jackson, Miss. Current musical interest: arranging for four-part vocal. I'd like to try Wild Mountain Thyme next because I think it would be so accessible to people around here, but am I going to go through copyright hell over a contested authorship, I wonder??

many thanks to Max and all those who share so much lore and music with so many people, even those who try their souls.

(is this where you have to explain yer nickname? this is an island nickname; were I from Arranmore or Beaver Island, there would be so many people with my first and surnames, I would be given a shorthand name reflecting who my da was)
