By the way, I just want to say that everyone who has stepped up and done something about this - finding addresses, sending letters, sending e-mails, spreading the word - all of you deserve a huge round of applause and a big "thank you". I don't think Mary checks this website, but I think she is aware of what everyone has been doing for her, both here and on other websites and lists. The support is important.

It is easy to use Mudcat to blow off steam and complain about things - but seeing people take action is inspiring. It takes time do the rearch and write the notes - but believe me, it helps.   You can make a difference, especially everyone who lives in the DC area.

Keep fighting. Folk music is in danger.
