28 Jun 06 - 07:58 AM (#1771026) Subject: BS: Pictures from Mudcat names From: Mo the caller What pictures come to mind when you see people's Mudcat name. The "Name the Mudcatter" thread shows that these vary. E.g. I am a Hobbit fan but didn't know that Freda Underhill came from down-under, so my picture was the one she intended. But someone said that KT refered to his/her initials (- Kevin Turner, or Karen Taylor maybe)whereas I would have guessed Katy Smith maybe. So 2 to get you started, my name and my daughter's (Cally Hanna). |

28 Jun 06 - 09:05 AM (#1771073) Subject: RE: BS: Pictures from Mudcat names From: Azizi "Mo the caller" Images change. When I saw your name, I originally thought of the children's rhyme Eenie, meenie, minie mo catch a Tiger by his toe... But now I see a picture of a square dance and a woman dressed in Scottish pleated plaid dress calling out the moves that the dancers make. This is a mix of Americana and Scottish-cana. At least I think I read somewhere that you're Scottish. Am I right about that? **** Cally Hanna- I'm not sure-maybe it's the second name-but when I first read your daughter's name I saw a picture of a farm woman [you?] standing outside her porch and interrupting her daughter's solitary play by calling her "Hannah! Time for dinner!" |

28 Jun 06 - 09:23 AM (#1771091) Subject: RE: BS: Pictures from Mudcat names From: Mo the caller I'm English, but quite often when I tell people that we enjoy Folk Dancing people often assume we go Scottish dancing, then it's "Oh, you mean Morris Dancing". English Country Dancing seems to be a minority interest. When I'm calling for beginners I wear a flashy embroidered waistcoat with pansies on and call dances from all over the place; England, Ireland, Scotland, France, America. And dances dating from 1651 to ones I've made up on the spot. And the dancers find variations that I'd never imagined. |

Dave the Gnome is obviously tall, young and clean- shaven. El Greco is clearly a chip-shop owner, I can see his greasy apron. salt and vinegar, please. Liz the Squeak is a big plate of mashed potato and cabbage. Cally Hanna I can't separate from Caller Herrin', which presumably tell the other fish when to make a basket- the keech in the creel?
