Who was it said that if we just had musical threads on the Mudcat we wouldn't run into trolls and other similar creatures?

Maybe one of the advantages of having so much BS is that, most of the time, it keeps the little darlings away from the musical stuff. In Morocco they stick a glass with sugar and mint leaves at the end of the table, and it means the flies and wasps keep out of the way messing around in there while people drink their tea in peace.

When they are doing studies covering what was happening in "folk music" (eg what kind of people were involved, what kind of songs did they sing and what motivated them) - at the start of the century, I predict that the DT and the Mudcat will be a prime source. And they will be doing those kind of studies.
