Lawrence,

If you like folk music, stick around. You will only be further awed by the breadth of knowledge and information contained within this site.

There is a core of posters here who sort of keep the site going with their comments, but there is a nearly invisible army of people who are "lurking" in the threads, just reading what they like and leaving the rest. and jumping in with an obscure lyric or chord that no one else knew.

The DigiTrad Database contains over 6,000 folk songs and grows larger every year. Someday we'll teach you how to search it.

There is also a lot of intellectual discussion and insanity (sometimes difficult to separate) going on here. You might want to browse through some of the other threads to get a flavor of it.

I should warn you that the Mudcat Forum has proven addictive for some (I number in that group). Mudcatters have been known to even put down an instrument to seek out the Mudcat.

Welcome,

Roger in Baltimore
