The Heartcall Cafe already has a 'flavor', if I can use that metaphor...it is very much imbued with the character of it's founder/owner and seems to be directed toward current/pop-folk. This is not a bad thing, it is just a direction, and will please many if they even find it. It can certainly provide an alternative to Mudcat in some ways, with the various forums.I will look in from time to time, but feel no urge to jump in there. I hope they prosper, as there should be a variety of venues for discussing music.
