Just received an email from Barnes and Noble. They are offering free on-line courses in everything from yoga to Jazz. This may be the perfect way to introduce the internet generation to folk and blues. The address is:

Sorry - I still haven't mastered the blue clicky.
So, is there anyone interested in putting together a curriculum and presenting it to B&N? Maybe one person could handle Sea Shanties, another English Ballads, etc. Each would research his or her specialty. A section could be on instruments, maybe. We have the talent here to do this. And we need a "spokesperson" with a recognizable name to present it on line. I am willing to coordinate. Maybe it could include the Travelling Mudcat Show. Feedback?
