Jeri. As TTCM has pointed out, we are not really getting at you, so I wonder why you are attracting response. As I have said (it seems this forum thrives on repetition), there are those who are not attracting our attention because they are more concerned with things musical and helping others.

The Song database here is one thing, but the actual databases inside some of the contributors heads make this place really special. It is good for everyone when these sources are utilized. They are dropping away, though. There have been several usages of the phrases 'Them and Us'; "are you with us or against us?" and the likes bandied around this forum.

Musicians, serious talented musicians with a world of knowledge, have left this place because of such clique-ness. The music world is relatively small, and people talk. And people have.
So, there you have it, a bit of honesty. Incredibly talented people in their fields have not even bothered to lurk any more. The trouble with some of you is that you think this place belongs to you, and there is nobody else out there worh considering much unless you have 'welcomed' them as a new member.

Why on God's earth would anyone of any real musical value want to join up, let alone under his/her own name, only to be 'welcomed', and spammed with nonsensical shite by people whose biggest failing in life is this fatal need to accept, and be accepted. That is what people of little inner worth do. And unfortunately, as the LafKat has said the majority has spoken. All I can say is

SHAME.

Really want to know who I am?
Chances are, considering of course you are a 'Folk music' afficianado, you've probably got one of my albums/CDs sitting over on your rack over there.
