Subject: RE: Review: sea shanties and maritime music website
no... I'm not sure why that photo popped up and I will pass on your comment to Dean because the site is way more about preserving the genre's content ... he also uses facebook to generate exposure for performers and festivals
that said, because current performers need exposure and databases are expensive to set up and maintain as Dean learned in the beginning it came down to how add names into one slot to use as a search criteria and he's one guy not ten and has his day job
and since venues and performers need to make a living they are getting more attention...
but search for Hugill or Bob Webb and they are there to be found we are still in the early stages of a long term project and need a staff for data entry big time .. so any volunteers with librarian type computer skills would be helpful I think just to provide flexibility to the site as well user friendly interfaces
