If the technology existed and the Mudcat resided on the net way back in the sixties I'm sure you would see the same atmosphere as we see today.

Just as today society back then was divided, the 'folk community' had it's purists, it prejeduces, it's openess, it's rejections. What we see in the questioning brought forth in this thread is a longing for the 'good old days'. Unfortunately, only the good memories are remembered. There was infighting, there was rejection of ideas, as much as the acceptance. Just as here in the Mudcat today, there is a community, a community of good ideas, shared ideas, questioning, arguments. But all in all it's a community that represents the times that exist. Ignore the infighting, appreciate the goodness that still exists here.
