Hello everybody. My name is Jim, and I am a brand new member of what seems to be a great website. Are there any members here from the Seattle, Washington area? I have just moved to Seattle close to two months ago. I understand it is a wonderful place to listen to a lot of folk and Blues music. I enjoy folk music a lot; although, I am somewhat new to the genre. I've only been into it big time a few years, but I learn a lot every day and really hope to talk to folks who share this interest with me. I am also a beginning guitar player who is now learning to play for the sheer enjoyment of playing music. Again, hopefully I will be able to correspond with people sharing the same interest. I look forward to getting to know several of you and to be a general part of mudcat. Feel free to email me or send me any messages, and I will be glad to respond. Again, if there are any folks from the Seattle area, I'd definitely love to hear from you. Take care, Jim

Lucky indeed. Always get a good cup of tea at the Naked Man cafe. Lovely part of the world altogether.And heading east the view when you come over Buckhaw Brow is brilliant. Awful about foot-and-mouth though, wasnt it?That "Sheepless in Settle" movie brought home the tragedy to a lot of people. Welcome to Mudcat.

Well, let's see... the only time I was in Seattle, the World's Fair was on and I was on my way to be a navigator on an iceberg 800 miles north of Fairbanks, Alaska. It's been a while. I enjoyed the city though. The land of Kurt Cobain.

Welcome to Mudcat! I'm sure you'll enjoy it...

Yes Greg..."Sheepless in Settle" severely disturbed my good friend Eric the Viking.

Welcome Jim! It is good to see at least one new member who is not from Hull9!

Welcome Jim 100_1 from the North West of UK.

I'm afraid I've not been to Seattle, but, as some of us do, base our expirience of a place from a television programme. I believe Frasier is a Seattle based sit-com?

Welcome again.

Hi Jim and Welcome to the 'Cat. WE have quite a few members out your way, both in Seattle and in the Northwest as well. They have had several Mudcat gatherings and it's a great group of some terrific folks. If they don't check in here, start a thread titled "Looking for Seattle Members" or Northwest US Members or something to that effect.

As far as the "new member" goes, I'm quite satisfied with my old member which is still functioning pretty well.

Welcome to the Mudcat, Jim, and thanks for sharing a bit about yourself with us. I'm sure you'll meet some of those great people Spaw spoke of, as they are pretty active. There are also quite a few in the Vancouver, BC area, including Musicman, Lyrical Lady and a few others.

All the best,

kat

Catspaw is fond of taking advantage of these New Member threads to boast about his old member; but you gotta ask, if it is functioning as well as he claims, how come he is always bringing it up? Just to prove he can?

I think Little Hawk has his measure.

Welcome....and, oh yes....beware of Little Hawk! He has more time on his hands than even....oh, Amos. Catspaw is really twenty three year old blonde twins, and this site can become verrrry strange at times.......which is why I've been here for almost four years!

P.S. Beware folks who punctuate with........ ......

I've given my old member a helping hand occasionally because (and to keep the thread musical) "you can't please everyone so you gotta' please yourself."

And Amos, as for Little Hawk, he's just a brokedick mortarforker who ain't got a measure long enough to gain admittance..............

Sheepless in Seattle indeed!! How do you think we felt in the highlands of Scotland, when the Rolling Stones sang, "Hey McLeod, get off my ewe"?
I come from a small village with a population of 620. It has been 620 souls for the last 200 years. Perhaps it's because every time a baby is born, somebody leaves town. Failte....Giok

In reviewing past historical contributions, it appears that this person called Cat Spaw -- whatever that might mean -- has frequently felt moved to talk about his (I believe it is a he) physical endowment, prowess, and gastrointenstinal condition.

If it is not inappropriate to ask, can someone tell me if this gentlemen is sane or not?

He seems quite persverant in his obsession to expose himself, metaphorically speaking.

Thanks in advance,

Calumny

hi jim and a big welcome from the tarheel state!!!!(north carolina) it's called the tarheel state because during the civil war,north carolina was a big producer of tar and turpentine....and,it seems a bunch of northern soldiers were chasing some rebel soldiers from the north carolina regiment and the rebels were making a good pace ahead of the union guys...the union soldiers yelled out to "put some tar on their heels,to slow them down!"...and of course when general lee heard about this story,he commented,"god bless them tarheels!"...and now you know the rrest of the story!!!Welcome Aboard!!!
