Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Burke Date: 04 Dec 02 - 11:16 AM Absolutely! Great work folks! |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Amos Date: 04 Dec 02 - 11:17 AM HOOOOORAH! These are two of the brightest stalwarts in the Mudcat pantheon! A |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: MMario Date: 04 Dec 02 - 11:17 AM Don't forget Sorcha, and Malcolm, and Joe, and the clones, and just about ANYONE with more musical knowledge then me...(that includes just about everyone except John from Hull's hamster!) Far as I'm concerned - it's a team effort. |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: wysiwyg Date: 04 Dec 02 - 11:18 AM Oh shaddup, Mmario, this time it's YOUR turn! Deal with it! Blush, sweat, giggle, and ENJOY it. ~Susan |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Rick Fielding Date: 04 Dec 02 - 11:18 AM Happy MS MM day! |

Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: SharonA Date: 04 Dec 02 - 11:44 AM I thought that that was every day. :^) |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Amos Date: 04 Dec 02 - 11:59 AM Get those STELLAR BEINGS a set of them MUDCAT CDs!!! A |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: GUEST Date: 04 Dec 02 - 12:30 PM I agree, and I don't want this post to be interpreted to be stealing thunder from MMario or Masato, as the recognition is well deserved. But for once, I'd also like to see some recognition go to Aine, George Seto, and Guest Philippa for all they are doing for Irish traditional music here at Mudcat. That too is phenomenally generous. |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Joe Offer Date: 04 Dec 02 - 12:39 PM You know, I get more MIDI e-mail from MMario than I get Spam from porn sites. MMario, I really appreciate all the work you do on tunes. It sure keeps me busy. And Masato, it's a pleasure to learn from you. You're a scolar, but you're also very generous and kind - a real gentleman. I hope I'll get the chance to meet you someday soon. And there are many others who do wonderful work here, and that's why it's such a joy to spend time on Mudcat. -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: MMario Date: 04 Dec 02 - 12:50 PM Hear, Hear! Like I said - it's all about teamwork and co-operation. (now feeling guilty as I have some tunes from Philippa I haven't posted for her!) |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: An Pluiméir Ceolmhar Date: 04 Dec 02 - 01:10 PM SharonA beat me to the draw. The award for highest signal-to-noise ratio on the whole internet goes to Masato. |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: GUEST Date: 04 Dec 02 - 01:20 PM Well, Malcolm Douglas with a signal to noise of 1, is up there too... |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Declan Date: 04 Dec 02 - 01:23 PM I'd like to join in the congratulations. And I agree Malcolm deserves a day too. Although we haven't always agreed on all subjects, he never ceases to amaze me with the amount of knowledge and information he contributes here. Thanks to you all. |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 04 Dec 02 - 01:48 PM The greatest team of M's since Mantle and Maris! Jerry |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Big Mick Date: 04 Dec 02 - 01:51 PM Neither of these folks qualify for a position with Fielding, Swan, Patterson, and Lane, Layabouts at Large and for hire. They do entirely too much work. I would suggest to both of them that they need to hire us to take some time off for them. Mick |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Genie Date: 04 Dec 02 - 01:52 PM What? You and Joe Offer haven't met?! Now that need to be fixed. (An' I wanna meet both of yez!) Really, Leo, you have been (to quote Amanda Wingfield) "a martyr, a Christian martyr" when it comes to providing MIDIS for songs in the forum, Songbook, and DT (not to mention other scholarly help)! If I had some champagne, I'd toast ya! Oh, what the heck, I'm hereby lifting my coffee mug to say
Genie |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Genie Date: 04 Dec 02 - 01:56 PM And, Masato, I'm not ignoring your contributions. Remember this thread? Genie |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: MMario Date: 04 Dec 02 - 01:59 PM Joe and I have met...Joe and MASATO haven't met - nor have I met Masato |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Richie Date: 04 Dec 02 - 02:50 PM I'm a new member and have been doing some research on Mudcat. Masato Sakurai contributions have definately made my threads. He's got a marvelous command of internet sources as well as good resource books. Others that deserve mention along with MMario are Stewie, Turtle Old Man, and Malcolm. Has anyone heard anything from Dicho, he was helpful also? -Richie |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: GUEST Date: 04 Dec 02 - 02:53 PM I think we should have a GUEST appreciation day myself... It'd be a lot duller without us... (not to mention the useful answers we provide) |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Genie Date: 04 Dec 02 - 02:56 PM OK. That makes more sense. (So much for speed reading. *G*) Genie |

Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Tinker Date: 04 Dec 02 - 04:34 PM Huge Thanks and Great Hugs to both of you... Missed you at Getaway this year Mario, no late conversations in shadowed halls. Next year?? Masato, everytime I see your name I know I will enjoy /learn from the thread. I rarely have anything to add, but know I'm lurking and learning and loving every minute of it. Blessings on You Both... Tinker |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Genie Date: 04 Dec 02 - 04:37 PM Hey, folks, let's have a Mudcat Gathrering in Japan! Then we can all meet Masato! |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Seamus Kennedy Date: 04 Dec 02 - 04:42 PM Well done, Mm & M. Thank you. Seamus |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: masato sakurai Date: 04 Dec 02 - 06:42 PM A lot of posts while I was sleeping (now it's 8: 35 a.m. JST). Sometimes I think I'm just a link provider. Many thanks from Japan, with love. ~Masato |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Gareth Date: 04 Dec 02 - 06:47 PM Well - I will drink to the continuing comments and sucess. CHEERS, BUTTYGareth |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: van lingle Date: 04 Dec 02 - 09:25 PM These dudes are like, totally awesome! vl |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: George Seto - af221@chebucto.ns.ca Date: 04 Dec 02 - 09:38 PM I agree with all the kudos for both of them. Many a time I have worked at responding to a query only to find, Gee Whiz! either MMario or Masato came up with the same information PLUS a lot more! Those boys are FAST! AND have great answers. Thanks guys for showing us HOW to do it right! Guest, Phillipa, Aine and I have a vested interest in the Gaelic songs and music of Scotland and Ireland. We're just making sure there IS a place in the internet world for our music. But thanks, Guest. |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Hrothgar Date: 05 Dec 02 - 03:46 AM I'll drink to that! |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 05 Dec 02 - 03:05 PM Thanks MM for also finding time to comment on an obscure mudcatter's poor lyric offering. Best wishes, Keith. |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: MMario Date: 05 Dec 02 - 03:16 PM As far as I am concerned there ain't no such beastie as an "obscure" MudCatter. |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Bill D Date: 05 Dec 02 - 04:04 PM Nooooobody knows, de trubble obscure.... |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: SINSULL Date: 05 Dec 02 - 05:26 PM Ditto Now how do we get MMario and Masato to next year's Getaway????? |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Mark Clark Date: 05 Dec 02 - 08:18 PM Add me to the long list of appreciative admirers. I guess appreciation day was yesterday but … oh, what the hell. - Mark |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Celtic Soul Date: 05 Dec 02 - 09:37 PM Don't know Masato, but if he's as cool as Mmario, I'll sing his praises too. Definitely in favor of a Mmario appreciation day! |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: kytrad (Jean Ritchie) Date: 06 Dec 02 - 07:36 PM Both great! (For you who don't remember Alan Sherman's wonderful parody album, "My Son the Folksinger," this refers to a line from one of his songs, "The Ballad of OH, Boy!"...the line is, Sir Arthur Conan and Doyle- Both Great!) Thanks, both, for your quiet good help in the past. Jean |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Stilly River Sage Date: 03 May 03 - 01:57 PM I'm reviving this thread to publicly thank Masato for checking out a page at Amazon.com's Japanese outlet for me. I needed to know if the book was in English and in stock ("yes," he says) and how to go about ordering it. He read through the page for me, answered my questions, found some English language pages, then (as is his typically efficient style!) went on to find elsewhere the information about the Japanese-language version of the book as well. Thanks again for such an efficient and kind search for me! This research is for the siblings of the deceased author. They would like copies of his books for themselves, but can't afford the inflated collector's prices. Maggie |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: CarolC Date: 03 May 03 - 02:01 PM How did I manage to miss this one? Woo Hoo!!! Thanks MMario and Masato! |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: catspaw49 Date: 03 May 03 - 03:13 PM You and me both Carol!! We all owe a lot to these two!!! I've had the great pleasure of meeting Mario and a more wonderful big gentle bear of a man you'll never know. And wouldn't it be great for all of us to meet Masato to express in person how much he has added to the Forum! Spaw |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Mudlark Date: 03 May 03 - 05:02 PM I missed it too, so am happy to offer my thanks to MM and MS for adding so much to this site. Major forelock, or fetlock tugging and expressions of extreme gratitude! |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Art Thieme Date: 03 May 03 - 06:16 PM Yes, and thanks for all the fish ! Art |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Sandy Mc Lean Date: 03 May 03 - 08:19 PM Great stuff guys! An old Gaelic expression applies, "Cum suas e!" (Keep it up) Sandy |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Hollowfox Date: 03 May 03 - 08:25 PM I don't know how I missed this either. Masato-san, you think you are "just" a link provider? You provide the answers and information needed, and that in great abundance! If links are what's needed, then that is what you provide. As a librarian I make my living providing answers to people, and I admire your skills. I wish I was half as good at this as you are. Again, many thanks. Mmario, you know I'm in love with you. (So, you're another one who's met Spaw, eh? hehehe) |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Amos Date: 03 May 03 - 08:25 PM I heartily endorse this celebration from MM & M. These guys melt in your forum, not in your hand! Anyway, they are both stellar chaps, and deserve High Karma! A |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: masato sakurai Date: 03 May 03 - 08:33 PM Thank you again. It's a nice Sunday morning here (9:30 a.m. JST, May 4). |

Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Kaleea Date: 03 May 03 - 11:24 PM Sometimes we take things for granted--like "the mudcat cafe will always be there" or "if I need to know something about Traditional Music, good ol' Masato will always be there for me/us" or "I'll always be able to turn on my car radio & hear the local Public radio station. The first two are still there for me! Sadly, the latter has not always been the case. That makes me think how sad many people would be without the dedication of Masato Sakurai who keeps us informed and provides us with unlimited expertise and knowledge--at no cost to us, and without having to dig through a zillion websites or textbooks. THANKS MASATO!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Sam L Date: 04 May 03 - 09:08 AM I can't even remember all the help I've had--it's like having a hotline to a superhero. Thanks! Fred |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: belfast Date: 04 May 03 - 11:45 AM Just want to add my tuppenceworth of heartfelt praise to all of the above. This is the place where you can get anwers before you have had time to formulate the question! |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: wilco Date: 04 May 03 - 05:26 PM And, from deep in the "amen corner," AAAAMMMMEEEENNNN Brother!!!!!! |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: CapriUni Date: 04 May 03 - 06:53 PM Yes, yes, yes! Many, myriad thanks to the Masterful Masato and MMarvelous MMario!!! |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Doug_Remley Date: 04 May 03 - 08:56 PM Ah! A chance to laud publicly... Thank you for so much help Masato! |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Peg Date: 05 May 03 - 10:53 AM I missed this thread the first time around, too. Masato has provided me with links and answers a number of times...even, recently, embarrassingly enough, linking to a thread in the Forum that I somehow was not able to find even while trying to search for it... and MMario rules! I also think George Seto, Aine, and Phillippa have done a lot to offer help with Celtic music topics, and Malcolm seems to have some scholarly knowledge along those lines! thanks to all who contribute so much more than BS...and thanks to the more eloquent BS contributors too! peg |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: mooman Date: 05 May 03 - 11:30 AM We'll have to work out a way to get Masato-san to the planned 2006 World Mudcat Gathering. Great work Masato, MMario, Malcolm Douglas and others too numerous to remember for all the knowledge you feed in here. It is greatly appreciated. moo |
Subject: RE: MMario / Masato Sakurai appreciation day From: Big Mick Date: 05 May 03 - 11:38 AM I have been around here a fair length of time. I don't recall anyone more willing to help, and with solid information, than these two. I wish there were a way to establish a decent scholarship fund to get these two to the Getaway this fall. It would be wonderful to meet Masato san, and to see Mario again. Well done, lads. Mick |
