Subject: RE: Mudcat Site Map and PermaThread Index
Pene Azul came across this message from Marion in on of the "Help For Pickers" threads. I think it deserves wider exposure.

Hello folks. I've very much appreciated the links to other tip threads that others have posted in part two, so I thought I'd gather in here some of the educational threads that have been particularly useful to me, or that I have traced in the expectation that they will be useful later.

They are roughly categorized; I couldn't decide if "Smartass titles" needed to be a category of its own.

Bon appetit, Marion

Mudcat Classic Threads

The following links will take you to prime examples of the musical knowledge, humor, and thoughtfulness to be found in the Forum of the Mudcat Cafe.
I had originally asked Rick for suggestions for a Classic Thread under the topic Technique and Instrument Discussions, which was why he started the Pickers Tips Thread. I had also planned a Traditional Music Discussions topic, but a lot of the ones I considered are already named in Alice's Memorable Threads. At any rate, I'll give you my picks at the risk of overlapping Rick and Alice. The individual threads may be changed from time to time, but the Topics should be ongoing. The master list is in a thread called Mudcat Classic Threads

Thanks also to Alice Flynn. For quite some time, Alice has maintained links to memorable Mudcat threads on our Mudcat Links Page:

Click here to download Realplayer 8 Basic, which may be more trouble-free.

Thanks to Pene Azul, this thread has been added to the top of the thread list. I'm sure that many of you have favorite threads that you'd like everybody to be able to find. Feel free to post links to them here. I'll incorporate the most notable of them into a master list at the top of this thread.
I intend to keep this thread trimmed to a fairly small number of messages, so that it will load more easily than the FAQ.
