Yes.... 20 years old today,

http://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=4 (There's a short technical explanation as to why the first thread was #4)

So much water under the bridge and so many names, ideas, songs, ... and just plain memories.
My first post wasn't until early November, but I soon added my share.

   My head if full of so many Mudcat stories that I'd have to get one of those speech-to-text programs to even make a start.

It was great to see "Young Max" at the Getaway, happily running sound and singing.... and promising once again the keep this crazy place around as long as anyone cares.

Let's keep caring..... ☺

20 years... That's some birthday..

if internet years are anything like dog years, that's getting on a bit by human standards....

20 years ago I didn't even own a computer and was very resistant to the internet and it's encroachment on face to face contact and communication..

I still lived in East london, scrabbling a living as a photographic industry assistant/technician, artists model,
and guitarist & publicist in a short lived almost nearly famous for 15 seconds electro synth rock band.....

I'd just about completely forgotten folk music even existed...

Then I got sick of that lifestyle, moved back home to unsophisticated provincial Scrumpyshire,
and rediscovered my muddy cowshite & cider apple roots....

..and a few years later, whilst remembering my teenage enthusiasm for folk rock & Trad folk music, chanced upon mudcat.... 😜

Now I'm just a boring fat aging married bloke with dodgy feet and knees.....

Who make it the best forum ever there was.

Last night, at the Sounding Board in W. Hartford, CT, USA, we celebrated Folk Legacy's 55th anniversary with a benefit concert featuring several of the Folk Legacy recording artists. I, first, met Sandy & Caroline, personally, when someone posted a thread on mudcat about a new BMT recording. I was working fairly close to Sharon, CT at the time & called to see if I could pick up the recording in person, rather than having to pay shipping & handling! I didn't realize, at the time, that I was inviting myself into a private home! It was the beginning of a warm friendship for these past many years--just one of the benefits mudcat has given me! Thanks, Max! It's been a blessing, being part of this community!

Best,

Barbara

In 2002 I got my first computer, joined Mudcat & made it my homepage. I look in every day & only miss out when I'm away, or it was down!

long live Mudcat & Max.

Another long-lived folks site (tho not participatory ) is OzCatter Mark Gregory's Australian Folk Songs ... on the web since 1994 tho I don't look at it every day, just when Mark adds another song.

Well, knock me down with a feather! My very first post was on this very date, 3rd October 2000, and it was a lyric request for "Sam the Skull" which was rapidly supplied!
And I first heard about Mudcat from the guy who was then recording my 16-year old son's indie band! Firtunately he knew a bit about folk music too!

Somebody asked, so I did a study of the number of messages posted from September 2 to October 2 in 1997, 2007, and 2017. Here are the number of messages posted per month:

• 1997:   2,167
• 2007: 23,142
• 2017:   5,014

We've slowed down a bit, but we're still here.

Gosh, I've been here 20 years!! I see that my first message was dated January '97, but I think I'd been a member for a few months before I actually posted, which would put me in the birth year. (Feel old, now...)

I first heard of it from one of the guys I played with every week, at a session in a lovely old pub facing over Cork Harbour from its south side (still there but no longer open, alas). (The pub, I mean, not the harbour...)

Happiest of birthdays to the 'Cat <3

I was a lurker for a bit, not sure how long, but my first posting was in May 1997, so I missed the birth by *that* much.

What Severn said:

"Thank you, Max, and wishing a happy birthday with many more years more to come to what has been a source of fellowship, fun, education, support in difficult times and many,many lasting friends, both seen and unseen. Thanks to the 'Cat and all who dwell or dwelt or even lurked within. I'm much the better off for the knowing of you all..... "

What EVERYONE said! Thanks to Max, Susan, Dick & Joe for all the invisible iceberg stuff.

I think I sent in 90+ songs before my first post, which was Oct 1998, I think, about "workhouse songs", including the famous

'Twas Christmas Eve in the workhouse
And the frost was on the walls
When asked what they wanted for Christmas
The inmates shouted, "Balls!"

Bit of a shock to realise I've been popping in and out of here since early 1999.
This place seemed well established when I arrived with online friendships and "in-jokes" as though it had been around for many years.
It was, nonetheless, a very welcoming and inclusive place to visit and has largely remained so.
There's been a huge amount of knowledge exchanged, songs shared and kindness given. I've benefitted from all of these at sometime or other.
Full credit to Max for creating and maintaining this place, even when it veered slightly off track from his original intention.
He's certainly stayed the course!
Happy birthday! Here's to many more!

Muscat has definitively enriched my life in the years I have lsricipated, brining me new friends, New songs, places to stay while traveling, travellers who have stayed with me, group conversations held in the old chat room, historical information, company and shelter at festivals, Secret Szxta presents, time spent in the Tavern and in the Recovery Ward, animals from Chimps to Squids and a whole lot more.

Thanks to all for things past and good times yet to come.I hope that you have enjoyed your time with me as much, if not more,, than I've enjoyed your company.

I think it took me two years to land here — drawn in by Jeri. Don't recollect whether Tom (Curmudgeon) or I first joined.

Congratulations on 25 years!

And thank you, Max, for keeping on keeping on. (And Joe and the Joe clones and everyone else.)

A quarter of a century. Just consider all that's happened during that time: flying machines, horseless carriages, a canal from the Hudson to the Great Lakes, the death of da Vinci, electricity in our homes, no more gas lamps...why, I can't begin to list it all!

21 today, 21 today,
I’ve got the key of the door, etc….
That’s how long I’ve been lurking around these parts! Happy Birthday,

Very well done, and many thanks. I first posted in the late 90s, too... and have received a lot of help from members. Only flamed once, but that was my own fault.   Best wishes from the wilds of Norfolk (UK, not USA!)
