Well, here goes.

To whom it may concern;

My name is Sean Mitchell, and I'm a performer in a performing arts troupe that specializes in living history representational theater. My group sings primarily traditional sea shanties and related folk songs, much of the research of which has been done through the Digital Tradition database, with accompanying research through the Mudcat Cafe website.

I have personally used this as a resource, enabling me to create a website (http://www.geocities.com/muckscrapper/index.htm) which is used as an educational, preparational and promotional resource for our performances. I have also been able to use this resource to broaden my personal musical horizons as well, utilizing both the lyric database for 'new' traditional songs to learn and the 'Mudcat Cafe' for advice and support in my attempts to master a new instrument.

(Hope this is what you're looking for. It's the least - and I do mean the absolute-least-damn-I-wish-I-had-money-to-donate thing I can do.)
