01 Dec 08 - 02:12 PM (#2505122) Subject: RE: Thanks Mudcat Folks From: Sleepy Rosie As a newb to the site and to singing folk song in general, I've experienced a great deal of friendly camraderie and some really detailed and valuable advice here. I've made some excellent contacts online in the past on different lists for different interests. But I've found this site, is unusually embracing and interesting. It's intelligent, sometimes very funny, and kinda pastoral. There are no doubt some interpersonal squabbles, but overall the differences of opinion seem to be managed with good humour and intelligence. A very difficult thing to sustain on any forum, especially one with such high volume postings from everywhere, and one that allows words like fuck, shit, errr, do I dare the 'c' word.. heh, nah. You get the drift. Not only onlist, but in particular I've also had some superb unexpected detailed advice, friendly banter and offers of real-world support via PM's from several of the regulars here. A very entertaining, informative and embracing online community. Coolio. Hope to flesh out some of the onlist ID's in the not too distant. |

01 Dec 08 - 02:23 PM (#2505134) Subject: RE: Thanks Mudcat Folks From: Georgiansilver This forum has been a great source of Folk musical knowledge for me and I enjoy a bit of BS too.. I would like to personally thank all those involved in keeping it running, also encourage them in the censoring which I believe they do sensitively and adequately. Best wishes, Mike. |

01 Dec 08 - 03:44 PM (#2505223) Subject: RE: Thanks Mudcat Folks From: momnopp I highly recommend this thread for details pertinent to this discussion. It addresses some of the whys of recent 'down' time and offers information on the inner workings of the wonder that is our beloved Mudcat. Peace, JudyO/momnopp |

02 Dec 08 - 02:34 AM (#2505565) Subject: RE: Thanks Mudcat Folks From: Tim Leaning I have met loads of decent honest music lovers through Mudcat Like GEorgian Silver. He is a realy nice guy(if sexest),and not stingy withhis support and kind words to some of us lesser performers either. And do you know if you go to Gainsbro FC or Faldingworth live you can meet him amd Backwoodsman and sooz and villan and....... TA. Mudcat is a great idea. |

02 Dec 08 - 05:09 PM (#2506233) Subject: RE: Thanks Mudcat Folks From: Rowan I'll drink to that! Yesterday I received my copy of Keith McKenry's new book "Australia's lost folk songs" and was pleased to see among the list of those who'd helped him by tracking down info was "the patrons of Mudcat Cafe". Cheers, Rowan |
