Thread Name: Why are almost all 'mudcatters 'white?'
Subject: RE: Why are almost all 'mudcatters 'white?'
I think this is one of the oddest threads I've ever seen started and I don't much care for it and I should probably have just passed it by. But, since I didn't ... I have never for one minute thought about the colour of other mudcatters. Perhaps that is because I don't care what colour you are? Do you sit around and discuss "why are almost all rappers white?" Not me. As far as folk clubs being primarily caucasian ... you must be referring to nowadays. I haven't been in a folk club in 25 years. When I was performing in folk clubs, there was a healthy mix of all races. I never thought about why there was a mix, I just figured they were there for the same reason as I ... for the music, politics, and socializing.

Ed, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I still don't understand why you started this thread.
