So many people come to mudcat for reference. From the high school kid looking up information about traditional music or one of us folkies who have a song in our head and can't remember where it came from ... Well Jim can tell us! I believe if a person said I don't remember the song Jim could say hum a few bars as you type and he would have the answer for us.

A scholar of traditional music he is virtually the one who finds the answer to so many of our questions. Just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you Jim for your contibutions. An author, scholar and a wizard.

God Bless You Jim
