Thread Name: Wot nite are folknites on paltalk
Subject: RE: Folklore: wot nite are folknites on paltalk
i am no longer able to get the paltalk connection. as i recall anyone can start a room, and to do so you need a code. Back when i had a connection I hosted the Mudcat Live acoustic jam on Thursday nights for many many weeks...
the best deal is to go to the music rooms and usually the rooms with "live" in their names are the best ones.
quite a few mudcats would join me there and I miss our sessions!! Sometimes they would continue for 6-8-10 hours!! and people from all time zones would come and go as their area's time allowed. I usually started at 6 on the west coast so UK folks could come in at the end of their day. Often when we were still going after midnight pacific time, the Europeans would be starting their day and join in again!!
I installed (or rather it installed itself if i recall) service pack 2 and since then the sound has been poor quality--unbearable. i need to figure out how to get on again.. until then, I hope someone might get a room going....just please make up a new name and do not use the name i used.... Toledo Frank showed me how to make a room and Uncle Dave O was always prompt to jump in and join!! Reggie NoBro and many other mud cat folks came by, also...including Max!
at the time the Paltalk (www.paltalk.com) program was not compatible with Mac computers, I am not sure if that is still the case..
any way if you do find or make a room, let us know...it is a great way to share music!! Laurel
