Negativity and trolls have killed more websites than aging.

Before the Great Crash there were DoB and photo files. Someone used to do analyses of our average age and it was always high, and yes, many of us are dropping off the twig or sinking into senlity, but at least Max is still young!

... but don't forget the rejuvenating new wave of youth...

.. sprightly vibrant virile members like me who are only in our late 50s, and can still remember what day it is and our own names

... and acknowledge that electricity and guitar amps do exist and are nothing to be afraid of.... 🙄

interesting...

Mudcat was in many ways like the folk movement - an artistic movement that was more than the sum of all its parts.

i can remember my dismay years ago reading a review of Harvey Andrews latest album. the reviewer said, this is the review i wish i would never have to write. his point was that the album didn't contain an obvious hit record or hit song. and thus in his view Harvey was probably condemned to cultural insignificance

With a traditional artist like yourself, Brian the cultural importance is taken to be the depth of vision (i hope).

up to reading that review - i'd always thought there was a sort of brotherhood of folk artists. i was dismayed to find out that poor Harvey was expected to slug it out for significance, with the Bay City Rollers.

somewhere along the line we stopped believing in ourselves, our own significance. And of the four of us - one feels that THe Bay City Rollers got the best of it. And maybe that's the new folk music.

I don't think it will last five years.

I still use it regularly, though don't contribute as much as I used to. Of course there are other ways of sharing information these days, but there is still research-oriented stuff here you wouldn't find anywhere else. Nonetheless I really hope the archive survives, since there are so many excellent contributions, including a lot from knowledgable people who are no longer around to consult.

Since most of us folks are old as balls, I'll reckon this website has five years before its desolate and silent.

Food for thought.
