I dont get most of it but Im all for anything that Max thinks will help on the suport side of this great home for us all.
                  Actualy I would love to see adds from Mannies, Music Emporium, Mandolin Brothers , Gruhns Nashville , Botton Box and the Folk music monsters , Elderly instroments or LArk in the Morning. We all talk about these places and send custimers to them in our chatter. . Also Martin Gibson and National Resonophonic could have links. Again I dont know what is apropriate and what is not. It is Maucat .ORG. THe Org most have rules that I dont know anything about. At any rate if I was Martin Guitar and saw the thread on the Martin Carthy 00018 they wouldd realize a member bought a $2,600.00 because of conversation on the Mudcat ! I have sent at least 25 people to the Botton Box for concertina work from here. A banjo was bought from Stan at Mandolin Brothers from Mudcat . This just scratchs the serface of the activity going on here. If we did critiques on BAnjo tutors and guitar vidios , even cd endorsments and the resulting perchace activity could be documented <><<> ???? Im not saying we change anything but as a group we have generated alot of spending.. AIR-TICKETS. How many of us have gone to a place to play with Mudcatters.One can gererate money for servival without being a full blown capitolist and still do some good along the way. Sorry I love think tanking. Come on in the Waters fine.. Alll the best , Guy
