Well, as I mentioned once before, I got to sit in a room here in the Wash. D.C. area and watch this thing get created! Two people with notebooks sitting comparing notes and wishing for a better way decided to start putting their stuff on floppies...and Voila! Le' Database!...and last weekend I spent a weekend in the woods with them..Susan of DT, Dennis Cook, Dick Greenhaus, and a number of others...Bruce O, Ferrara(who just happens to be married to me),..and several others who confessed to using the database and lurking. I can't leave it alone...it provides me ideas for sings...updates my failing memory, allows me a soapbox for cherished opinions, and gives me a window into the lives of so many nice people!

And Art Thieme...I am one of the many who has stood and talked and joked with YOU after concerts and workshops, etc...(here in D.C., at Winfield, KS, at the Red Fox in Bethesda, MD.) You might even find my face vaguely familar... I am Bill Day [extree@erols.com] and I have been singing songs and telling jokes I got from you for years...*grin*--"Vodka, tomato juice, and jello..= bloodclot"

quite a bunch we have here...and with Max making this the 'sine qua non' of Bulletin Boards, it will be a real force in the future of sharing this kind of music!
