Subject: Mudcat Site Map and PermaThread Index From: Joe Offer Date: 17 Feb 01 - 04:44 PM This is a PermaThread™, intended to serve as an index to Mudcat and a permanent index for our PermaThreads™ and other memorable and notable threads. Feel free to post messages in this thread, but note that I reserve the right to edit or delete all messages here, so that this thread will serve as a permament reference. The most recent full update of the Digital Tradition was 2002, and we have not been able to develop a system for updating the DT that was agreeable to all parties involved. I have been developing "origins" and DTStudy threads on new songs and all songs in the DT that require research, discussion, or correction. If you have corrections, they are best posted in the "origins" threads.

Subject: RE: Mudcat Site Map and PermaThread Index From: Joe Offer Date: 15 Jul 01 - 12:16 AM Pene Azul came across this message from Marion in on of the "Help For Pickers" threads. I think it deserves wider exposure. -Joe Offer- Hello folks. I've very much appreciated the links to other tip threads that others have posted in part two, so I thought I'd gather in here some of the educational threads that have been particularly useful to me, or that I have traced in the expectation that they will be useful later. They are roughly categorized; I couldn't decide if "Smartass titles" needed to be a category of its own. Bon appetit, Marion

Lonesome EJ has volunteered to maintain the list below: Mudcat Classic ThreadsThe following links will take you to prime examples of the musical knowledge, humor, and thoughtfulness to be found in the Forum of the Mudcat Cafe.I had originally asked Rick for suggestions for a Classic Thread under the topic Technique and Instrument Discussions, which was why he started the Pickers Tips Thread. I had also planned a Traditional Music Discussions topic, but a lot of the ones I considered are already named in Alice's Memorable Threads. At any rate, I'll give you my picks at the risk of overlapping Rick and Alice. The individual threads may be changed from time to time, but the Topics should be ongoing.

Subject: PalTalk and HearMe From: Joe Offer Date: 16 Oct 01 - 11:37 PM Over the last few years, Mudcatters have used the HearMe and PalTalk services to gather for online concerts and song circles. Both these services are in a state of flux, so our procedures for singing sessions keep changing. Click here for a thread that should have the latest information on Mudcat online sings. -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Site Map and PermaThread Index From: George Seto - af221@chebucto.ns.ca Date: 26 Dec 01 - 09:17 AM Suggestion for a future entry here. Listings of some of the threads on creating CDs or recording onto computers. We seem to have had a number of them (as far as I remember) over the past year. Here's one just came up recently, which Devilmaster answered with a series of messages. Looks good. |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Site Map and PermaThread Index From: Joe Offer Date: 05 Feb 02 - 06:19 PM Tom N posted this list of folk music resources on the unfortunate "Weakest Link" thread, which I hope will disappear.

Subject: RE: Mudcat Site Map and PermaThread Index From: Jim Dixon Date: 01 Mar 02 - 05:50 PM Here's an idea for somebody out there looking for a project.
It would be nice if we had an index to all song threads organized around a topic. Here are a few examples: Songs about getting really old? For example, today I ran across an old thread called How many fallen women does it take? From the title, I never would have guessed it was about music. I would have thought it was a joke thread. (In fact, it really annoys me when people give threads cute jokey titles, especially serious threads about music. Such people show that they're only interested in attracting attention in the short term, but not interested in helping people who might search for information in the future. But I digress.) That thread needs some kind of cross-reference, for example, "Songs about Fallen Women," |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Site Map and PermaThread Index From: GUEST,Foe Date: 16 Aug 05 - 07:27 PM Hi - I haven't been on this forum for quite a while, Retired and now geting ready to move to CA. Have recently been singing at a new concept showcase type thing run by a friend James Wagner from Frederick, MD. He has three venues, Jennifer's bar, the Mudd Puddle Coffee House and the Friends Meeting house where he is running a showcase at each place once a week. The showcase is called WHAP which stands for Weekly Happening with Audience Participation. Jim puts cards out on each table with "performer #1" etc on cards and the audience is encouraged to critique songs and performance. Very interesiting and fun. Anyway, I'm going to tell Jim to Contact you'all with the particulars. A good showcase for people from DC, MD, and Northern VA. Songwriters, folkies, poets and comedians are welcome. Foe Meader |
Subject: RE: Mudcat Site Map and PermaThread Index From: George Seto - af221@chebucto.ns.ca Date: 18 Aug 06 - 05:45 PM Hmmm. A very important thread is NOT here. (IS this likely to be put back at the top of the threads list again? Or have I done something strange and that's why it doesn't show there any longer? |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Site Map, PermaThread Index, Memorabilia From: Joe Offer Date: 11 Nov 11 - 05:49 PM I'm in the process of cleaning up PermaThreads. If you know of PermaThreads that should be closed or ones that need an editor, please let me know by posting here. I could use more people to volunteer to maintain the PermaThreads that have been neglected. Thanks. -Joe- |
