well why not, I have encountered quite a lot of friendship and helpfulness on mudcat.

theres nobody down my street who woulld know about Spider John Koerner or Jackson C Frank or even Martin Carthy. I did a gig this afternoon, I'm too shagged out to go to one of the local folk clubs - mudcat is on hand - a little community where evrybody knows that the ceiling is up and the floor is down - most of the time, anyway.
