"But as Blackcatter noted, the notions of folk and capital don't really go well together so I think I'll have to go along with MMario, et al., and nominate the Mudcat Café. Not only is it accessible worldwide but there are participants from many countries as well. And where else will you find a world-wide song circle. Of course you still can't get a drink here.

I'll chime in and endorse the Mudcat idea. And I disagree with Mark: nothing to stop you from sipping something potent while you're 'catting!
