Well done Kenny 'all for reminding us of Keith's initiative in starting the magazine in the first place - something I should have done in the first place.

In any event, you are almost right. All but one of the original hard copy articles are now on the Internet version. The odd one out is an article about Jimmie Rodgers and the blue yodel, which Rod never got round to coding for some reason.

The point I would like to get across is that Musical Traditions has over the years become an enormous and valuable resource. Personally, I would be surprised to find another music mag of similar size, quality and breadth of coverage on the Internet, in any field of music. Its present tally includes 190 full length articles, 53 enthusiasms (short articles), I've no idea how many reviews, plus news, letters, discography, a dungheap, mondegreens, useful addresses and many other features. It's true we lack a kitchen sink and a crossword, but who knows any day now..........

What's more, its all free at http://mustrad.org.uk.

BTW., Ken. How about reviewing this Ralph Stanley CD for us ?
