My suggestions would be ...

Join EFDSS if you haven't already, and support the excellent work they are beginning to do after many years marginalised in the doldrums.

Get out there and do it, whether your particular 'it' is song, music, dance, or any other aspect of the genre that ticks your boxes.

Spend much less time reading pointless arguments on Mudcat.

Get used to the idea that "I don't like that" is not the same thing as "that's not a valid part of the continuing development of the music".

And did I say spend much less time reading pointless arguments on Mudcat?

Happy Xmas everybody
