Boy, it sure took you long enough... ::smiles::

Welcome!

Malveka is a blues singer/songwriter who plays guitar (but as I'm sure he'll tell us, not as well as he'd like --but who does?!)

He has already been asked to have his rybalde drynkyng songe "May Your Sword Never Grow Rusty!" in Aaine's (sp?) Songbook.

He is a sweet gentle soul. He has a fabulous smokey voice, perfect for blues (though he has never smoked). He can read Tablature for guitar and sheet music. He has a quirky sense of humour and generally likes people. And dogs! He's wonderful with dogs.

Well, I could go on singing his virtues until my voice cracked but I'd rather keep it intact, so...

I'm sure the rest of you Mudcatters will love him, and his music, (almost) as much as I do!

Please give new member Malveka a warm welcome...

Thanks to all of you for the warm welcome!

In some ways I am new to this whole folk music scene, in the sense that I have listened and watched from afar for many years, but somehow could never seem to actually get involved. Jande has been helping me get through that barrier (with some *small* resistance from me along the way ;^), and I'm really looking forward to sharing music, philosophy and fun with the incredibly eclectic and interesting people whom I have thus far glimpsed in my Mudcat meanderings.

From what I've seen, it promises to be one heckuva ride!

Well met...

    ~ Malveka

Hi Rick. I live in upstate New York, about halfway between Binghamton and Ithaca. It's lovely rural countryside of rolling hills, forests and streams. I've lived here for almost 20 years and I still marvel at the beauty of the land in each of its seasons.

::Malveka the Skance-Glancer glances skancily at Hesperis, and wonders verily did he hear such evil laughter issue from such a fair young maid?::

Hi Hes! Thanks for the vote of confidence! ::grin::
