Wishing you a very Mudcat Christmas!

From: Barry T

As Christmas approaches I find myself reflecting on the friendship and pleasure that this Mudcat forum provides. I stop by every day of the year without fail... the only site in cyberspace that I can say that about. Though I do more lurking than chatting, I marvel at the welcome and friendship extended to all who enter.

Since we can't celebrate together in the traditional sense, I wish to share with you a musical message from the Great White North. (Java enabled browser required)

The midi sequence is from my mousepad to you. The image and the magic snow is courtesy of Cloud 8 Internet Designs.

Thanks, Barry, for the pretty picture, and that Cloud Eight is a neat facility to know about - but the music didn't come through, and I've checked, and my browser has the java boxes clicked.

Merry Christmas Barry
Does Santa deliver all the goodies in an ocean kayak?
He must have a difficult time loading sacks in one of those boats. And how do you get a rain deer into a wet suit?
You guys make great chocolates. Roger's Chocolates right?
Wishing you good health and much happiness in the New Year.

WOW, Barry! You can lurk all year and post that once and blow us all outta the water! Just beautiful!! Thank you! Merry Chirstmas, Merrie Solstice and Happy New Year to you, too!

May I pass it on? With credit given, of course? I'd love to send it to my family members.

All the best,

Merry Christmas to all and peace. I miss many things about Fairbanks, Alaska, but most of all I miss the snow this time of year and the northern lights, which, unless you've seen them from Fairbanks and points north, you're missing one of the universe's most awesome and breathtaking sights ... shalom ... moonchild

Help yourself to the link, Kat. I'm going to leave that on my website for the duration of the millennium.

Due to some self-inflicted technical problems, (I am attempting to make some internal modifications to the pewter and learning as I go) I have not been on here much of late. Happy to report however that as soon as the modem gets changed from the 33 to the 56, I will be back full time and better than ever.

I would like to wish each and everyone here at the village of Mudcat a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and best wishes for the holiday season to all!!

Barry,

Are you the Barry Taylor of Taylor's Tunebook? I can't tell you how many times I have visited and listened to those beautiful tunes and arrangements. If I weren't already learning an instrument I would have become hooked for sure just by listening to all of those tunes. It's the arrangements I love the most, so if it is your site - thank you, thank you, thank you.

And thanks very much for the beautiful card & music.

Wishing you the best for the festive season, the New Year/Millenium celebrations and the New Year itself.

Helen

Merry Christmas to All, and especially to Barry, whom I want to thank for the MANY tunes he has put on the net, but especially for "The Emmigrant's Daughter"

Since this seems to be the best place for it may I wish everyone all the very best for the forthcoming holidays, and apologise for the worst symptoms of my CJD (compulsive joke syndrome) cluttering up otherwise interesting threads.

Friends, I recently heard Joel Mabus make the remark that the thing he liked most about Christmas was that it was the one time of the year that the radio stations played folk music all day and all night. May your days be merry and bright, and the new year start with no computer crashes....

Thanks Barry, that was lovely! I am new to these pages, having discovered them thru Liz the Squeak and Micca (friends with one and related to the other, I leave you to guess which is which), anyway, I've felt really welcomed since I've been hanging around the Mudcat and so would like to say a formal Hello and A Merry Xmas/Solstice/Holiday to all. My Very Best Wishes

Thanks Barry. I loved your musical greeting, and the sentiments expressed in your message.

I, too, have found a great sense of community here, and look forward to spending time with all of you in the new year.

Happiness, health, love, and peace to all.
