It's about time you showed up, buddy. I am glad you are back. We are better for you being here.

For the newer ones among you, Shambles is one of the long termers who was always one of the best. He left some time ago in a dispute, of which I was partially responsible. So was he, and so were many others. But I am thrilled he has decided to rejoin us and I look forward to his posts. Thanks for coming back, Sham. And welcome home to the village.

All the very best,

Mick

? Roger, no kidding, you're back? Abso-blooming-fantastic. That's the best news I've had for months (well, that and the wonderful bunch of newcomers in the interlude--Neo/Bonnie, McGrath, Micca and Squeak, too damned many to list). It's still a great place and your return makes it all that much greater.

Roger, let me add my greetings. I remember the sadness I felt upon your departure. I think we have sobered up a bit and learned some lessons from the past.

I'd be interested in hearing if the Mudcat seems different to you since your absence and if it does, how is it different and what is your reaction.

As you can see, I'm still tending the fires at times. Must be congenital.

"Twas the Fifth Day of November,
I've a reason to remember
When first he returned to his family and wife
They stood so surprised, when first he did enter
To behold such a stranger once more in their sight

"His children came around him
with their prittle-prattling stories
their prittle-prattling stories,to drive care away
Now they are united like birds of one feather
Like bees in one hive contented they'll be."

That's from "Spencer the Rover", as sung by the Copper Family. I think it matches the mood. It's my favourite Welcome Home song. (Not in the DT so far as I could see. If I'm right in that I'll send it in if somebody else doesn't beat me to it.)

Well hello there Shambles. What Roger meant is that HE'S sobered up a bit! We still keep an eye on him though.

Hey Roger, good to see your shining face here, and NO, I naven't forgotten I owe you a tape. I am just now coming up for air -- I've been costuming Peter Pan, and it opened last weekend.
I mean to buy myself a real tape recorder and mic so you can hear what I really sound like for better and worse. Been getting by until now with the $25 Radio Shack hand-held jobbies, but i figure it's time to upgrade.
Welcome home,
Blessings,
Barbara

..yeah Roger...I seem only rarely to meet individuals genuinely interested in me, in my line of work...you became an exception to this when you asked me about the outcome of the Irish sessions last summer...moonchild also seems to "see" me too. And sadly, I have quit that session. It was once a bright spot in my life.
Nice to see you again...
...and how the heck are you doing Barbara?
