Annap- Better at least to nurture the SPARK of musical interest, than to remain in musical apathy-land. I admit that I don't play like I wish I had time for, butI do think I play a LITTLE more, thanks in part to the Mudcat Cafe. I also believe my musical interests have broadened somewhat: partly osmosis, partly re-awakening. This is all just insirational, not counting all the information I have been exposed to. I'm sure that if I had more time to devote to mudcatting, my gains would increase as well. If you take your gains, and my gains, and multiply by all the hundreds, possibly thousands of Mudcatters and seriously contributing guests, we could be on the verge of a musical Renaissance! Viva Le Mudcat!
