Mudcat is for fans only, eh? And is there some reason that those of us who consider ourselves to be the "designated audience" can't participate in the folk music community? But I expect that you are entirely wrong about the members of our community not being singers; I have at least 20 CDs from Mudcat singers and singer/songwriters, not counting the 5-CD Mudcat set. Of course, I suppose that the likes of Jean Richie (Mudcat member kytrad) don't meet the standards of the Philadelphia Folksong Society.
