May I add my two penneth (UK)

This website is about music, and the majority of the members are singers/musicians who are songwriters.

I started a project in the uk to make a CD for charity and asked Lincolnshire performers to donate a song off one of their CD, s that could be copied and mastered on a CD, and then sold to the general public. It made over £1500. see following link

It was not difficult to do and not expensive either. There are enough Mudcat members to ensure a quality CD that could be sold by Mudcat who retain all the profits.

Don't say it can't be done, because I know different.

Now my suggestion is

The US produce a CD and the Uk produce a CD of the finest and best songs that each country have to offer from Mudcat members.
This could be done once a year, and would make a lot of money.

I don't want to hear knockers who might suggest that it is too difficult and not possible. If I could do it, with no musical ability and no knoweledge of the folk scene, surely mudcat members can do it.

I am certainly willing to chair and organise the UK side of things.

We could then see who produces the best music - USA or UK :-)

The UK would win hands down :-)

Oh yes they would!!!!!
