Thread Name: An American Traditional Music Forum?
Subject: RE: An American Traditional Music Forum?
Once the newsgroups were everything (who could ask for more than ANSI?)

Abby Sale's (and Harp Girl's) postings led me to the collection of Dick and Susan with the Ditital Tradition that became the home for American Blues/Folk at the Mudcat thanks to Max/Joe/Barthalomew.

Within the next two years, you will witness a change in technology that would leave members of decade ago with their chins hanging on the ground. We are in for a period of phenominal change. For a single example, IBM and Georgie Tech (yeah, those ramblin' wrecks) have clocked speeds as high as 500gig, optimal conditions and 300gig, at room temperatures.

Perhaps, only the young will survive...but there will always be a place for live performance, tab, lyrics, fake-books and I,IV,V with a flated fifth (that should have been drunk.)

Sincerely,
Gargoyle
