Subject: RE: Missing Mudcatters: Where Are They? From: terrier Date: 12 Sep 10 - 04:02 PM Hi JennyO, I've just read the other Bromyard thread. Rather sad state of affairs. I don't think it's just Bromyard, but just about any town centre on a weekend, festival or not. I agree it's getting harder to find session pubs / venues these days, but as a session person myself, I hate the idea of playing 'behind closed doors' so to speak. |
|
Subject: RE: Missing Mudcatters: Where Are They? From: GUEST,JennyO Date: 12 Sep 10 - 11:38 AM Terrier, the idea was that we would try and start a session somewhere, since we had already looked all over for sessions unsuccessfully the rest of the weekend. We posted that on the Bromyard thread which we started some time ago in hopes of finding a session somewhere now that the Hop Pole is no longer a pub. Two years ago there were some great sessions in there. Unfortunately it seems that many of the Mudcatters that used to go have gone somewhere else this year - probably Swanage. Next year we may join them. |

From: terrier Date: 12 Sep 10 - 11:09 AM From: GUEST,JennyO - PM Date: 12 Sep 10 - 07:35 AM One thing is for sure - there are precious few of them here in Bromyard this weekend :( (Jenny O, who is sitting in an almost empty pub with Rob, waiting for a few singers to turn up. So far, nobody :( ) -------------- Now if I'd have attended Bromyard festival, I wouldn't have seen your post, so I wouldn't know you were sitting in a pub, possibly the same pub as I might be sitting in waiting for some singers to turn up. Try another room ;) Anyone going to Ingleton in a few weeks, I'll be there in my disguise as a human. |

Subject: RE: Missing Mudcatters: Where Are They? From: Clinton Hammond Date: 24 Jul 06 - 03:32 PM There are some few here who make visiting worth wild, but their numbers get fewer and fewer..... as the place lets more and more crap pile up higher and higher..... |
|
Subject: RE: Missing Mudcatters: Where Are They? From: GUEST Date: 24 Jul 06 - 03:31 PM "...friends will arrive, friends disappear........" Mudcat was a good friend for a few years, but sometimes the time just comes to move on. And like any old friend, it gets visited now and then to check up on whats been going on. Always pleased to see its still healthy.......and that Gargoyle is still merrily spewing forth.... |

Subject: RE: Missing Mudcatters: Where Are They? From: Homeless Date: 24 Jul 06 - 01:09 PM I was unpacking some boxes over the weekend and ran across a cassette that MBO had sent me a few years back. Talk about tripping a flashback. So how's life treating you now, Matt? |

Subject: RE: Missing Mudcatters: Where Are They? From: Bill in Alabama Date: 24 Jul 06 - 12:35 PM I pass through once in awhile. I'm interested mostly in the folklore and music of America, I don't find much of that around here anymore, but I still check in and hang out occasionally. Anne and I are still performing a bit. |

Subject: RE: Missing Mudcatters: Where Are They? From: Matt_R Date: 24 Jul 06 - 11:25 AM Spider Tom was awesome. I think he must have been like a government agent or something, the way he and his family vanished into thin air. |

Subject: RE: Missing Mudcatters: Where Are They? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 24 Jul 06 - 09:22 AM Spider Tom was before my day, but Jon asked me if I knew him a few years back & I asked Alison & here is her reply (2003) "nope... disappeared without a trace about 4 years ago.. no one has seen or heard since... pity... he was a good songwriter" sandra |

Subject: RE: Missing Mudcatters: Where Are They? From: katlaughing Date: 23 Jul 06 - 07:17 PM I just listened to a tape I made off of HearMe, back in the day, ya know, of Spider Tom in Australia. Wow, singing "Down by the sea." If I remember rightly, it was his own song. Sure wish I knew how he was. Would also love to hear from BillytheBus, again, off the coast of NZ. There are many more, I know, but like Skarpi, I can't remember any off the top of my head. A glance at the members' names listed to PM would jog my memory, I know. |

Subject: RE: Missing Mudcatters: Where Are They? From: Cruiser Date: 23 Jul 06 - 04:44 PM While pondering the vagaries of life on a hot summer's day in Arizona (was 116 degrees F here yesterday) I saw this thread and revived it since it has been 1.75 years since its initiation. I wondered what has happened to 2 of the prettiest and brightest young women that once posted here and if they have kept up with their music: NicoleC and Barky. Oh, I would also like to know what has happened to other people, including some of the older and not-so-pretty lost Mudcatters too. |

Subject: RE: Missing Mudcatters: Where Are They? From: Jeri Date: 12 Oct 04 - 02:02 PM Unc, you're still a member. Is it possible you've got the password wrong, or just a bit off? Like captial letters when there shouldn't be, or no capitals when there should? The automatic e-mail you're supposed to get from the log-in page which sends you your EXISTING user name and password hasn't worked for a couple of years and I'm not sure why it's still there. Post in the Help Forum and Joe Offer can sen you an e-mail to get you sorted. |

Subject: RE: Missing Mudcatters: Where Are They? From: GUEST,Scorned and Rejected Uncle Jaque in Maine... Date: 12 Oct 04 - 01:43 PM Well Ahoy again! I'ts been a while apparently before recently drifting back in to post a couple of music related thingies of late. Now I can't log in to get re-cookied, as the 'Cat won't accept the username and PW I'd used for years, and when I give it my E-dress to send a new PW that might actually allow me back on board, said PW never seems to materialize. I'll have to make sure my SPAM filter isn't erroniously blocking it I guess. Have sort of been out of the music circut lately for a number of reasons, but I miss it and look forward to getting back. Was getting right into it a few years back, and then came 9/11/01, at which time it seemed appropriate to revisit an old hobby that at the time had been collecting dust in the cellar. So I have renewed my Membership in a local Fish & Game Club, and try to visit the rifle range fairly regularly so as to keep up certain tactical survival skills, shall we say. Probably not a really popular avocation or topic in here, so we'll let it go at that. But I've been lurking and contributing to other forums relating to that and other areas of interest more than hanging around here as I was once wont to do. But the banjo is not completely unstrung; I continue to collect and noodle around with 19th Century music. most of what I can get my hands on tends to be Hymns and Gospel Music, but that's OK by me. We see that a few veteran "Catters lament that no one seems to have missed 'em; in my case, I would rather expect that my absence would have been more cause for celebration than regret! - so I'll try to tread a little more lightly than I may have in the past, when I was know to fling a political skunk into the locker room when things seemed a bit boringly pacific around here. Sort of like Church, in which I used to be active - as long as allowed back in as a "Guest" now and then, I'll poke me beak in for a peek & see what's up with the old Mudcat on occasion. Although I seem to be no longer deemed worthy of "cookies", it appears that I have yet to be banished entirely. UJ |

Subject: RE: Missing Mudcatters: Where Are They? From: Amos Date: 30 Jun 04 - 12:23 AM Bobert: Nicole has been busy overhauling a condo and moving into it, in Orange County about 65 miles north of where I am. I am hoping to lure her down to one of our Balboa Park gathers and pick her brains about mikes and such. Haven't heard from Sharon A, though. A |

Subject: RE: Missing Mudcatters: Where Are They? From: Bobert Date: 29 Jun 04 - 10:34 PM SharonA? Haven't heard a peep from her in quit a while. Anyone got a line on her? Bobert p.s. I miss Nicole C, too. Purdy danged smart for one of them womenz people... |

Subject: RE: Missing Mudcatters: Where Are They? From: Bert Date: 29 Jun 04 - 09:54 PM Is that REALLY you Matt_R? I thought we'd lost you for ever. |

Subject: RE: Missing Mudcatters: Where Are They? From: GUEST,sorefingers Date: 29 Jun 04 - 09:16 PM Hmmm, when I first visited Mudcat there were lots of people like Mr Bseed who are no longer here. The site began as mostly folkies doing folky things. Later much later the site seemed to me as if it was a writers forum. Musicians still visit here but may not contribute because they are too busy. |

Subject: RE: Missing Mudcatters: Where Are They? From: Amos Date: 28 Jun 04 - 08:58 PM Frankly, Little Hawk, I would prefer MUCH longer silences from your Shatnick, and much fewer, shorter ones from my old pal Mbo. The latter puts me in mind of pleasanter times before I ever was plagued by the former. A |

Subject: RE: Missing Mudcatters: Where Are They? From: Matt_R Date: 28 Jun 04 - 08:14 PM Ahhh I'm still around...playing guitar, expanding my CD collection (500+) and fixing cars for a living. |
