How about happy discoveries? Taffy Thomas came to the USA, to perform in the National Storytelling Festival. Other than the festival flier, I'd never heard of him. I loved his one-hour solo spot, bought all his tapes, and even loaned one to a couple of close friends because I thought they should hear it, and I couldn't figure how to buy a copy for them on this continent. Those of you in England might well know his work, but if you don't, you might well enjoy it. Those of us in the rest of the world, if we hear about somebody on the 'Cat, we'll probably be more inclined to give their act a whirl. Same for tapes, books, etc.
