Actually Spaw, you seem to be the only one coming into the threads on the weekends and haranguing guests. And I notice no one else leaping on your bandwagon, so maybe the time has come for you to give it a rest.

I have to agree about difficulty of finding online forums to discuss American folk music. There just isn't a general place to do it anymore. I'm not sure I agree with the above guests stated reasons for the lack of a forum. But I sure do miss hearing from people like Sam Hinton, Frank Hamilton, etc and having to put up with burp and fart threads here in Mudcat, just to get my folk fix.
