Hi, Bennet - When I was earning a living, I took the plunge and got a lifetime membership to Sing Out! Glad I did it then, because I can't afford it now....

I see in the magazine that members have access to the Sing Out! Resource Center (SORC). How can a California guy such as myself make use of the Resource Center, and what's there for me to use?

I would guess that most U.S. Mudcatters read Sing Out!, so I think I can say that you're among friends here. Whenever there's a particularly interesting article in Sing Out!, there's usually a good discussion of it here. Shelly Posen, current guru of the Sing Out! "Songfinder" column, makes regular mention of Mudcat - but I think we're better songfinders. Holly Tannen, previous mistress of the "Songfinder" column, used to come here for help when she got questions she couldn't answer.
