Thanks Brendy. I remember the thread where Brian Ploskina asked for information/opinions for the article, and wondered if it had ever been published. Nice to know he got what he needed, then got it right.

Thanks, Brendy. Last night I'd checked, he didn[t have it posted, yet. Did a pretty good job of it, too.

Good little piece - and I'm glad he didn't get his back up when we came on a bit suspicious.

Thank you Brian, if you call in back here to see the reaction..

Strikes me as a darn good opener to a larger work.

Check out this other Ploskina article, an interview with a 'catter.

I found both articles interesting and enlightening. Thank you for making them available for those of us who would otherwise have missed them.

Very interesting.. thanks for that... Not sure if I entirely agree with the below statement... What a sweeping generalisation....... aging musicians.... INDEED...

Puh huh hah!

The site has also become a ready-made archive for aging musicians who need to know their music will live on. While much of it is archived by the Library of Congress, some of the less-famous works could disappear forever without something like Mudcat.

"Ageing" I'd admit to but no-one has ever accused me of being a musician (or even musical).

well - look at it this way - if you are alive (and most mudcatters are - I think- ) then you are ageing. At about 1 second per second. Depending on how fast you are moving of course, since ageing is subject to the laws of relativity.

Whew! We're still safe. It'll probably be quite some time before the mainstream world discovers us again. (Just like Canada)

Rapidly Ageing Rick

Very interesting, but let's not become mainstream, shall we?
