Murry,

A wise man once told me, "Use what you got". Of course, there are certainly many circumstances in life where I would never dream of applying this guide as it can mean taking unnecessary risks. However, this philosophy has proven to be most beneficial to me and my musical pursuits on many levels. I even went so far as to include
the line in a song I wrote about my midlife Chrysler.

People say don't play your life away
Spinnin' your wheels in those same ol' grooves
I'm just usin' what I got cuz it's all I got to use
I've got the 65 Newport ragtop blues

This old ride of mine was funky to look with its caved in rear quarter panel and really ragged top but it served me well. Someday I hope to be able to resurrect it with a few new, or at least, better used tires, rebuild the motor, and give it a face lift with a new top, interior, paint etc but until that time... You see, not all of us have the good fortune to able to obtain the finer things in life, a new SUV or sports car, a home that is considered a showplace, the perfect guitar, the best recording gear, or in this case a video of outstanding musical worth and/or historical significance. Some of us have to make due with much less. This fact has been the source of many a blues song and will no doubt be the source of many more.

There are two choices one can make in any adverse situation. One can be daunted by the difficulty of a particular circumstance or use the resources that you have at your disposal.

As Azizi has pointed out this is your thread. You are in control of its content. The best of luck to you on weeding out what you consider the best and the brightest.

Murray MacLeod, I understand that the initiator of a Mudcat Permathread has the responsiblility of maintaining that Permathread and that "maintainence" includes determining which posts he or she will retain or delete.

I also understood and understand from your posts prior to Jan 26, 2007 that you had changed the statement that you had posted at one point that "All genuine recommendations will be cataloged."

In addition, I recognize from reading your post of 26 Jan 07 - 06:33 PM that all videos submitted to this Permathread are suggestions, and -perhaps apart from Kevin McGrath's section-you are the sole arbiter of the musical merit and/or historical value of that performance.

Murray, you wrote in your Jan 26, 2007 post that people should not be offended by the decisions you make as to which videos you include on this Permathread. I am not offended, and hope that other people are not and will not be offended by your decisions since the criteria you use is yours, and as is the case with any criteria, other people can agree or disagree with it.

Furthermore, prior to your Jan 26, 2007 post and ongoing I understand "there is absolutely nothing to stop [another person] from maintaining your very own Permathread".

Murray, while I understand that you have the right to decide to include or not include any personal video or any other video that anyone posts to this thread based on your judgement of that video,
I believe that it would have been clearer if you had revised-and would now revise-the criteria that is articulated in your first post.
That first post still leads people to believe that:

"For the purposes of this thread, "folk/blues" has to be classified into several different categories, (as outlined below) in order to facilitate searches for recommendations, and I am also going to operate a "editor's recommendation " system, whereby videos of outstanding musical worth and /or historical significance, will be awarded a "star award" ranging from three to five stars.

The criteria for these awards are unashamedly subjective, but the selections are always open to comment either on this thread or on the sister thread We Need a YouTube Permathread.

All genuine recommendations will be catalogued, but please remember that posts on this thread are always subject to editing or deletion."
-snip-

Furthermore, Murray, I'm not sure what to make of the fact that there is only one video posted in the African section of your Permathread, particularly since you wrote 03 Feb 07 -02:12 PM that "So, as far as the the African, World, McGrath categories are concerned, I just stick the links in without any judgment, because I do not consider myself qualified to make any judgment in these categories."

That statement seems to imply that this been only one video submitted to the African section. Yet I know that at a given point in time-before I realized your criteria for submission had changed-I submitted numerous African and "world" videos. And other people may have also submitted African videos for your consideration. Given those submissions, I can only conclude that either you are indeed using your judgement to select videos for the African section-which is fine because this-after all-is your Permathread. Or perhaps I should conclude that-with the exception of the Nina Simone video that I submitted- all of the African videos that I and perhaps others submitted to this Permathread "have unfortunately been removed by YouTube due to "terms of use" violation. Some of these were excellent videos, and it is indeed a pity that some artistes are unable to see that exposure on YouTube can only be beneficial to their careers".

Again, I am not offended by what appears or does not appear on this Permathread and I sincerely hope that no one else is either.

I do regret that the video links that you did not and do not accept have not been and may not be archived or saved on another thread. But, again, this is your Permathread, and is therefore maintained as you have determined it should be.

Perhaps, someone or a number of people working together who have the time and skills and interest will team with you or on his,her, or their own will initiate a Permathread that will save those videos that you do not select. If so, it is my hope that that Permathread will have a broader criteria for the inclusion of submitted videos.

That said, I wish you well with this Permathread, and will continue to open it to see and hear the interesting examples that you post on it.

Thank you Joe, for fixing that glitch. I will also follow up on your suggestion in the PM.

Now then, Reggie. First of all I would like to point out that I did say in my previous post that we should discuss this by PM, but since you have chosen to go public, well, so be it.

The fact is, I think you are almost certainly capable of much better than what that video shows. Would you say, hand on heart, that that video shows you at your best ?

The fact that the song is of historical significance is not in question but that is not the point at issue. For the video to be of historical significance it would need to be a video of the original composer, or else a very early and rare performance (eg the Peter Paul and Mary performance of "The Times They are a Changing" noted above)

The opening post of this thread was posted up almost four months ago.

Originally I wanted to make this a thread a symposium purely and simply of superb musical performances of the music which I know, love and understand, but I was persuaded to open it up to much wider criteria. So, as far as the the African, World, McGrath categories are concerned, I just stick the links in without any judgment, because I do not consider myself qualified to make any judgment in these categories.

In the other categories, however, I do consider myself qualified to make an "artistic judgment" as to whether the video should be listed or not.

I hope, Reggie, that you will soon come up with a video which will display your talents to their full and I will be more than happy to include it on this thread.

    Murray,

    ..."the video should be of outstanding musical quality, or of significant historical value or else so eclectic that it is spotted by McGrath of Harlow." (?)

    I didn't read that in the description of what was going to be included in this thread. Here's what I read.

    "For the purposes of this thread, "folk/blues" has to be classified into several different categories, (as outlined below) in order to facilitate searches for recommendations, and I am also going to operate a "editor's recommendation " system, whereby videos of outstanding musical worth and /or historical significance, will be awarded a "star award" ranging from three to five stars.
    The criteria for these awards are unashamedly subjective, but the selections are always open to comment either on this thread or on the sister thread We Need a YouTube Permathread.
    All genuine recommendations will be catalogued, but please remember that posts on this thread are always subject to editing or deletion."


    What I understand this to mean is just what it says. That some videos "videos of outstanding musical worth and /or historical significance will be awarded a "star award" ranging from three to five stars. The criteria for these awards are unashamedly subjective but the selections are always open to comment either on this thread, or on the sister thread We Need a YouTube Permathread."

    My comment regarding this song submission is that I'm perplexed at just what you consider folk/blues. "51 Highway Blues" is a genuine folk/blues song of old. The authorship of, though I attribute it to Big Joe is somewhat clouded as is the case with so many early folk/blues. It is as historically significant as any other song from this same genre, and perhaps more so as it mentions one of the few roadways that were principally responsible for the spread of this music northward from the Deep South. Recordings also played a role in finding new ears for this music but it was the migration of those who played this music from the Delta to nothern urban centers, places like Chicago, that was primarily responsible for the popularity of the blues. I performed my interpretation of this old gem in the tradition of so many great folk/blues, on an acoustic guitar. Not just any acoustic, but a resophonic guitar of unique design that I hand built from junk I found at garage sales. I adapted my version of this song to be played using a bottleneck slide approach.

    I'm not upset that my post to this thread was deleted. I just didn't know where it went and why my questions were not addressed. I am, however, now curious as to why my genuine, folk/blues, submission wasn't cataloged, especially because of what I read in the introduction to this thread. "All genuine recommendations will be cataloged." Or, is it yet to be included?

    I don't know if this will work on Mudcat, but a simple, hacky way to force a link to be a different color no matter what is to add:

    after the a href="whatever" part. So, here's seeing if this works:

    This link to Google should be bolded and black (and underlined).

    Are style attributes disabled here? I guess I'm about to find out.

    I recall posting a YouTube link to my very own folk/blues video of me playing the 51 Highway Blues in that earlier thread and now I can't seem to find the thread or the link. Is simple deletion how recommendations that are not acceptable will be delt with in this thread?

    I also asked whether our own videos were being sought for this purpose or if this collection was focused on gathering videos of those who might have achieved some greater level of the illusive fame factor. I don't recall receiving an answer to my question in that other thread. Would someone here care to field this?

    Mark O'Connor's fiddle breaks and backup accompaniment are excellent.

    good link, Frank, and I will incorporate it.

    I met Stephen Wade in 1975 at the Cambridge Folk Festival (UK) He impressed me enormously with his enthusiasm and knowledge, although to be honest I never thought he was any great shakes as a banjo player.

    that same year Bill Keith was playing with the David Grisman Band , now there was a banjo player. Unfortunately, not much on YouTube that shows his prowess.

    slight problem here, the links in the McGrath box come up dark blue on dark green (because I have already viewed them ), is it possible to code them so that they stay white ?

    Abby, the Nov 12th posts are just a number of reserved postings which make it easier for me to edit the thread and add new links as necessary. The date of the post doesn't really have any relevance to the content.

    I suppose, technically, it would have been perfectly possible to accomplish the whole thing on one post (and who knows, maybe I will do that one day) but at the moment this is the easiest way for me to edit the thread.

    Susan, Kat, your suggestions are noted and appreciated, and corrections will be made ASAP. I assume by the "dark green box" you mean Kevin McGrath's section ? Well, that's the whole idea , I was going to make the text dark green as well...(only joking, Kevin, as well you know ! )Keep these eclectic videos coming in.

    Murray, great work! Thanks. One suggestion, in the dark green box the lettering is very difficult to read and my eyesight is pretty good. I think white text would be much easier on the eyes. Thanks, again!

    Murr, the colored box and type colors in this post are too dark to read:

    Other than that-- wow! Good work!

    I'm missing something here. All the links will be in the colored boxes & dated 12 Nov 2006? I mean, nothing wrong with Nov 12th, Bukka White's birthday - I jus' wunnerd.

    Another "More Online Concerts" thing besides Millenium Stage: Actually, they occur in colaberation with Millenium Stage but at Coolidge Auditorium and are a different series. Put on (mostly) by American Folklife Center in their "Homegrown Concerts" series. Aren't too many online not but much worth checking.

    They're ram's & need RealPlayer.

    Well, that is the editing and harvesting completed for the moment.

    All suggestions have been considered, many have been implemented and some rejected, for various reasons.

    The main criterion for inclusion is the musical merit of the performance, and that is something of which, I am afraid, I have to be the arbiter.

    Many videos posted on the thread have unfortunately been removed by YouTube due to "terms of use" violation. Some of these were excellent videos, and it is indeed a pity that some artistes are unable to see that exposure on YouTube can only be beneficial to their careers.

    Keep posting your suggestions, and do not be offended if I do not include them here.

    Remember, there is absolutely nothing to stop you from maintaining your very own Permathread !

    Now for the fun bit, I can start compiling the guitar, banjo, mandolin videos ...

    Before there was YouYTube, there were Mudcat threads about More Online Concerts!

    In that thread you will find links to:

    1. The Kennedy Center Millenium Stage's search engine, where you can find exactly the music YOU define as "folk music". Shows are normally an hour in length, streamed. Performers include artists you know, and artists you would like to know about.

    2. Woodsongs Oldtime Radio Hour's Archive, which is VIDEO as well as sound, weekly, one-hour plus in length, streamed live and downloadable as sound and/or video through their archive. Again, you will find artists and music to fit YOUR definition of "folk music". Performers include artists you know, and artists you would like to know about.

    Some of the links in that thread may not work, but the ones I've described here work.
