BS: Are there any Asian Mudcatters

I've been playing trad music in the UK sessions for 20 years, and in all that time I've never seen a single Chinese person playing.

What gives?

What gives is Asian people are not yellow, and I have played with Asian musicians in the Irish tradition in New York from several Asian countries including China... maybe it is a UK thing???? Larry

In a hamlet in northern Alberta (Canada) where we were doing field work, the only restaurant was Chinese. The cook was fluent in both Chinese and English, and he used to belt out American cowboy-country songs in Chinese while he was cooking (perhaps just as well we couldn't understand him). This also was the only entertainment in town.

The Chinese have a large and varied repertoire of "trad" music, equal to or larger than that of western Europe and those offshore isles. We don't sing their songs and they don't sing ours. I don't find this surprising.

Afro Caribbeans aren't 'black' either, you and I aren't 'white'

I was just trying to make a point regarding color based judgement

Unfortunately, someone deleted my post about 'Purple Mudcatters' It's a shame that out of the two, this one remained.

Indeed. Maybe you should have said "plaid Mudcatters"...

No. That might offend the Scots.

Ummmm..."teal Mudcatters"?

Nope. Could offend waterfowl.

Chartreuse Mudcatters? There we go! Offends no one.

ARE THERE ANY CHARTREUSE MUDCATTERS? The World needs to know!

Chartreuse is also an addictive alcoholic drink.

To define a recovering 'chartreuse addict' in that way could well be seen as offensive.

In answer to your question, LH there is a breed of cat called the Chartreuse, originating as the name might indicate in France. If such a cat might get a little dirty, you would indeed have...............

a Chartreuse Mudcat!


Jim heheheheheheh.

I've met a handful of yellow-bellied, lilly-livered, cowardly-custard, pacifists hiding on the MC-BBS...

......but with the new Patriot Act incentives...I will be the first in line to turn their sorry souls into hard cash green-backs (or perhaps Euros since they are standing up better under the current economic troubles.)

Sincerely,

I have never noticed any colors, just people with similar interests to mine.

Ah Garg... one of your better efforts! I was going to say I was feeling a bit green these days! Enjoy the weather up there at the roof line ol' stonefaced pal, Cheers, Larry

Seems to me there are PLENTY of green Mudcatters; and, at least for a while, our own Barry was maybe a LITTLE yellow. When I come back down from the Getaway, I'm blue.

I'm a bit red at the moment due to too much time relaxing in the sun so I suppose I am a burnt red mudcatter!!!

The point is that most of the dozens of Asians I know would resent being called yellow. It's their decision, so honor it.
