I guess I will add to the inanity of this thread. If you were to do a forum search on my name, you would find the whole spectrum from Vietnam, to poor kids who are richer than any of us, to background on music, to lyrics, to pure BS, to my neverending pursuit over the cyber hills and dales of THE FAIR ONE. It is because this really is a community and I like to participate fully in all aspects of it. This is why we know each other in very special ways, even having never met face to face. And it is why it will never be just a music site. If our only link were the music, we would not care for one another as we do. Documentation of the caring exists under the names of Catspaw, DougR, and many others who have shared their happiness, sadness, and everything in between. Remember the thread some time ago that simply asked that we cheer the poster up.............a classic. I don't know if I give a shit about prolific, and I don't know how you judge who has the most "quality" in the most concentrated form. Quality what? I would say Alison (a little shameless sucking up coming here, folks) and her MIDITXT's probably wins handsdown any contest on "quality". How about Sandy Paton's insights on the early times of the folk revival. And on and on. I think that the establishing by Leej of the Mudcat Tavern or Alice's campfire have to weigh in there as well. And how about Shula's legendary house parties. That is why it is, IMHO, silly to ponder this too much. Suffice it to say that this is the finest online community, and collection of damn fine folks that I have ever encountered. And it is the diversity of the threads that facilitates that.
