Mick and Mark, you guys are right on the money with your comments. Art, anybody who doesn't see the essential common sense and good humor in your posts is missing the boat, whether you are talking about Folk music OR politics.

Can we reach a point where we are able to integrate camaraderie and music? Can we find threads where the choice is not simply between "Seeks Clarification of Second Verse of Barbara Allen" and "BS/ What are Mudcatters Middle Names"? I think we are reaching the point. Take a look at the "Mudcat Campfire". A natural setting was created that was conducive to conversation, humor, story telling, AND traditional music. Fans of all of these Mudcat genres would benefit by taking a seat by the fire.

There will always be a need for providing lyrics, song titles, etc. But for those who would stick around this forum and be here to answer, I believe other needs must be met.
