Now that so much music is up on UTube (and other places) it would be great to have a sidebar where folks could post links involving Mudcatters, artists and songs that are being discussed, or whatever is interesting.

Also, I've always thought that a multinational calendar, with schedules for folk clubs, performers, open mikes, jams, tours for artists, etc was much needed.

It also occurs to me that there ought to be a Mudwiki, or some such thing, with entries that are distilled from the many, many, amazing discussions that we've had.

And then, of course, with the advent of the trusty Edirol R-9, and the Zoom and such devices, it would be possible to have a sound archive of the various sessions that our Mudcat brood frequent. It would be a hoot and a half to be able to sit at home the morning after and play along with a sound file of a session.

For years, most of the online contact that we've had with one another has been in discussions of one kind or another--after a while, you kind of forget that a lot of people are crackerjack musicians--now, the technology is here that allows us to share the music--and about time, since after about ten years of online chatting, I've repeated myself a lot;-)
