06 Jan 99 - 06:33 PM (#52336) Subject: How Old is a Mudcatter? From: Ralph Butts Curiosity is getting the best of me. Past postings suggest that the average Mudcatter, if not long in the tooth, is at least, well, MATURE. How about posting your sex and age (anonymous, of course) so we can get an idea. Just put it into the "From:" section of the Reply area, for example:
Leave the message area blank to keep the thread size small, unless you care to leave a snide remark. I'll give myself away by making the first post to show you the format, but afterwards, please be anonymous. Should be interesting. ....Tiger |

07 Jan 99 - 01:48 AM (#52455) Subject: RE: How Old is a Mudcatter? From: F almost 46 Isn't that the "backside of 40"? I'm with Big Mick Lane. I am really enjoying my forties and damn proud of who I've become. BTW, I coined a new term a few years back: I call it "center age" - gets rid of all those nasty connotations of "middle age" (mmm...as in pre-Renaissance?)- and, personally, I think it denotes that well-rounded, balanced (well, hopefully) level of experience we baby crones and wizards have come to! The only problem I have is with society and conventional doctors who have such set ideas and expectations of what our bodies and we are supposed to be doing at a certain age! When THEY ask for my age on a form, I usually write in "adult" or "all grown-up" or "old enough"! Out of the ag(e)ist closet, I am katlaughing! |

07 Jan 99 - 09:44 PM (#52678) Subject: RE: How Old is a Mudcatter? From: Roger in Baltimore Two sons, ages 22 and allmost 18. They are both interested in "pop" music, the younger one likes Jewel and Fiona Appel, and the Wallflowers. The older one likes Radiohead and Morphine. The older also searches out local independent bands that he likes. Except for some Techno-head (or whatever) music the younger likes, most of what they listen to is musical to my ears, if not to my tastes. The older son has some interest in electric blues so he received Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, and and John Hooker for Christmas from his Dad. No folk music is slipped in except they both have a garage tape of their Dad's music (happily, they requested it). Roger in Baltimore |

I don't mind the aging so much but it's awfully embrassing when people think I'm young enough looking to be my youthful looking wife's (42) son, it's even worst to feel that young while pausing to catch a breath.

From: Alice I've always looked younger than my years (as did my parents.. youthful genes) so I have never thought of myself as 'old'. I was stunned (or stung) about 2 years ago when I was talking to a guy after the session was breaking up and he complemented me on my singing. He then went on to say, 'and it's nice that older people like you can pass on the songs to the young people...' ... and I had been thinking of him as a peer while I was talking to him... I could have popped him in the nose, as my daddy would say, but I'm a lady. I stood there speechless, instead, as my face blanched then blushed. alice in montana |

Only 2 yrs. to "When I'm 64," provided we all survive y2k. Alice in Montana (Jan. 17 posting): I had a corresponding experience over 5 yrs. ago at a Dawn Dance (all-nite contra-dancing), when a (beautiful) young chick, age 20, came up to me ca. 4:30 a.m. and said admiringly, "I just love watching you dance, you're so graceful and energetic at the same time." Ooh, such a compliment! I was about to express my pleasure at hearing it (and compliment her in turn on her perspicacity) when she went on, "You remind me of my grandmother!" Ooh, such...uh.... So taken aback (knocked off my pins, us oldsters might say), all I could think of to reply was that I remind me of _my_ grandmother too. (Which is true, but I was startled to think it showed from the outside. I'm beginning to get used to that part now, even tho I don't believe it except when I look in a mirror sometimes.)

18 Dec 99 - 07:12 AM (#151160) Subject: RE: How Old is a Mudcatter? From: Chris/Darwin M54. I look in the mirror sometimes and see this grey bearded face staring back, and sometimes think that it couldn't be me - I am still young! Even my grandkids say so! I suppose all the 50+ folkies are left over from the 60's folk boom. When the next folk boom happens we may not even recognise it, I suppose it will be very different. PS. The reason I have a beard is because I don't like looking at my face in the mirror - particularly in the morning - yuck! - but most times. Not shaving saves a lot of soul searching. |

02 Jan 00 - 04:54 PM (#157089) Subject: RE: How Old is a Mudcatter? From: f 20--funny thing... had to look at this--'cause i responded to it last year as i was staying at my dad's house for the night and he showed me mudcat...unfortunately i didn't have a computer between then and now and i thought it was crazy that now that i visit almost everyday, it came back again---good memories!!! but here's a funny little birthday story --- when i turned 20,every member of my family sent me a card saying happy 21st (including my mother)....that night , i was playing out a bar that i play regularly and i had told my older brother that i was playing out at this bar, so he sent a letter to the bar telling them that it was my 21st and with $$ for a few drinks. so when the owners came out with a cake and asked me what i wanted my first legal drink to be... i could not tell a lie :) i had to tell everyone that it was really my 20th b-day...and everyone in the place passed around the cards that my whole familiy had sent me with the wrong age and we laughed. (you'd think after 20 years they'd figure it out) |

26 May 02 - 08:51 AM (#717527) Subject: RE: How Old is a Mudcatter? From: DMcG OK, I have faced up to doing the stats. First of all, I have only included those who posted this year as I can't be sure how many of the previous Mudcatter's are still here. This may leave out a lot of people who didn't bother reposting. These are the previously reported figures: Average Mudcat age is 46.4 years, M = 47.3, F = 44.3. Age Range is 15 - 74, M = 19 - 74, F = 15 - 63 Modal range is M = 45 - 49, F = 50 - 54
And the new figures: Average Mudcat Age is 46.23, M= 51.5, F=35.2 Age Range is 17-74, M=26-74, F=17-60 Modal Range is M = 53, F= 40 It is based on a much smaller sample of 21 M and 10 F It is interesting that the mean age hasn't changed, so Mudcat isn't just the same old faces getting older! |
|
26 May 02 - 11:45 AM (#717559) Subject: RE: How Old is a Mudcatter? From: CapriUni Also interesting that the ratio between M's and F's hasn't changed all that much (about a third of us are female... Back on May 9, 1999, there were 90 M's and 41 F's responding -- also about a third). Though internet wide, the online population is creeping closer to 50/50 (though we're not quite there yet). So, does that mean that the field of trad/roots music is male dominated in general? ...Or just that guys are more interested in answering surveys and breaking things down into demographics? ;-) |

26 May 02 - 04:03 PM (#717633) Subject: RE: How Old is a Mudcatter? From: bernil I couldn't figure out how to change the text on "From:". So... I'm female, 46, that's very close to the Average Mudcat Age. |
