My Dearest Ebbie,

What a privilege to be in such auspicious company!

And what a shock to hear you still have so many problems! Why haven't you called me up on my thread...you know I am always there. Tut, tut. But I suppose Alaska isn't so far really to add to my visits so, perhaps, we shall meet?

Always at your service,

Dr. Guitar

(I hope you are continuing not to look at those chord sites)

It is early, I was in Boise yesterday at this time, and by this time tomorrow I'll be flying to O'Hare 'cause I have to go to Salt Lake today for a flight at 0620 tomorrow. And in less than two hours I gotta meet with the Mayor.

My fingers don't work so good right now.

Sorcha, to thank for inviting me 7 years ago.
Bruce,Joe, carol,spaw and the usual gang of progressive antique musicians.
Being such a home body the only way I might meet some of you is if I opened the house up for a mudcat convention in Rockville MD.
The most that that could sleep inside would be about 25 but the grounds could accomodate 50 or in tents. Only 3 bathrooms so please no peeing in the hot tub or pool. As for food, volunteer cooks would be needed for breakfast and lunch but one dinner could be cattered for catters.
I could digitally photo the gang and assemble into a creative digital painting. You guys can sing and play (there is a nice Korg Triton piano here) and I'll join in on jazz cello, fiddle, mandolin or auto harp/I never learned to play the guitar. Needwood lake is 2 miles away by bike path and there is lots of streamside park right across the street for wandering minstrels.


So when shall it be, July?

I fulfilled my 'if you could meet' in Portaferry 2 years ago. This year I'm hoping to meet bfdk (Bente) so I can say I've got a Danish friend... I like this international theme I have going here.

But I'm still a bit miserable at being on so few (if any) lists of people to meet.

I have met many of you all and I can say everyone I have met is a gem.   I remember my first meeting with Liz and her gang. She prepared an absolute gourmet meal followed by and preceeded by port and brandy and wine and god knows what all plus a generous dose of Micca's philosophy (why is it people seem to get smarter to me when I drink? ...plus I seem to be an absolute genious when I hear myself talk too!)   Liz kindly walked me back to the tube station where I promptly got on the westbound train and had a delightful 1 hour nap before reviving in west London just in time to get my stop! People, If you are ever fortunate enough to get a dinner invitation from Liz, YOU BETTER KEEP IT! she is the best!

For all of you who stated a desire to meet gargoyle in person (because of his refreshingly cynical attitude and unique talent for personal attacks), I just wanted to point out that he's predicting the death of one of the Mudcat "regulars" in 2007, over on the "Farewell Farewell" Thread. Here's a guy who bitches eternally about the non-music BS here, and makes the only BS post to a music thread. What a cut-up.
Personally, I like him right where he is. Way out there on the fringes of this site.

I will be meeting a fair few of the mudcatters I talk to on chat at portaferry weekend (soon - yipee!).

I have a long list of mudcatters I would like to meet. I cannot possibly reduce it to one, therefore in no particular order I would like to meet (not including the ones I will be anyway very very soon)
are:

Alice - because of our good chats
Capriuni - also because of our good chats
Little Hawk - for a spiritual conversation - I think!
Kendall - for his good humour
Jacqui C - because she tells it her way and well.
Severn - to challenge him with his puns.

Sorry - I could not get it down to just one.

I met Bruce Hutton yesterday. He performs with Hesperes and plays virtually every folk instrument ever made.
When I asked him if he knew of mudcat he said he uses the lyric data base here often.

He has a concert this Saturday and is also doing the music for Buster Keaton's silent films for the Library of Congress for the National Film Registry.

My Dear Little Hawk,

It seems so long since my services have been required here!

I would most certainly like to meet you too for your unique and spiritual views that please this old healer. And, as surely as day follows night, we will meet one day!

And of course my longest-serving and values patient, dearest Ebbie! I do so fear that she has lapsed into looking at those jazz guitar chord sites that she was so warned to avoid.

Remaining always at the service of those who need my advice and help (needy cases always pro bono of course).

Yours most sincerely,

Dr. Guitar

It is hard to limit it to just one. I want to meet Bobert, Donuel, and Little Hawk. Also, as is more likely in the short run, Bill D (from a recent comment in the "hobby" thread). I think I MUST go to the FSGW Getaway next year. I think I might meet quite a few there.

I've hesitated to chip in here, because picking someone overlooks countless others. I'd just like to add that I had the pleasure of meeting several Catters over the last couple of years who would definitely be on my "Must Meet" list: jimmyt, Leadfingers, Bill D (although I really didn't have much of a chance to talk with him) Bobert, ColK, Formerly of Sussex Carole, and those I meet annually at NOMAD. Beyond that, I'd just like to say that the one Mudcatter I'd really like to meet is the next one. And thanks to those who mentioned me... the feeling is mutual.
