More often than not the only way into the Mudcat is through ragtime, so I don't think that idea would work, even if I agreed with it, which I don't. I value the open forum a great deal, for all the problems from time to time.

However I think this is a really promising initiative, and it'll be fascinating to see how it develops. Threads which delve around into the origin and meanings of songs have always been the most fascinating, I feel.

As the number of DT Studies grows, I hope there'll be some way of clicking to a catalogue of them with links.
