Interesting to see all that 'said' in one place. Max even gets 90% of the details correct... *grin* But you cant expect a busy administrator to follow ALL the undercurrents.

Thanks for posting the survey results, John. Very interesting stuff.

This is very fascinating stuff John, I think you've done a wonderful job. An excellent paper. Is it ok with you if I post the transcripts from our interview as well? If you have it handy, go ahead and do so.

So, it's not an illusion, there are about twice as many men as women on Mudcat. Interesting. I will read your paper this evening. It looks very interesting. Thanks for posting an update. I really look forward to reading it!

um .... has anyone else had trouble getting into the survey???

When I click the link in John's 1st post, it just takes me to the "thanks for doing it" end page of the Survey Company - and I can't find my way back to where I do the Mudcat Survey .....

I did it, but like others I was a bit perplexed about comparing this to any "real world" group I'm involved in. There are some people I talk face to face about musicological matters with, but most of my real-world involvement is in actual performance in sessions - we may talk about tunes or songs in between playing them, but that's not the main point.

Couldn't be arsed to do it, but I am keeping the pen anyway.
No, seriously, did it last week - doddle.
Like others, I'd be keen to see the results.
We can then debate them in a separate thread, spiced with the usual abusive judgmental comments towards each other. Or preferably without them.

i've been offline for a couple of days, but I will be posting a summary of results sometime in March after the survey period has finished. Thanks to everyone who has responded so far. We've passed 500 responses and I particularly appreciate the extent to which people are prepared to be open about their views.

I note Arnie's comments about possible research in pubs & bars. This certainly happens in our neck of the woods, and strangely enough it is also John Thompson's neck of the woods (part of the year, anyway). Perhaps this clears up some questions as to "why"?

John Prine (born October 10, 1946, in Maywood, Illinois) is an American country/folk singer-songwriter.

If the story told by Paradise as well as the melody not bluegrass, well it comes near enough for the definition of bluegrass I understood in the 70's when I was listening to Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels and John Prine. All playing on the bluegrass hour of the one and only radio station I could get in West Virginia.

As to it being a song and not a tune that's true.

BTW did you know that your tendancy for pedantry is hanging out? Better put that sucker away.

No Zen, I occasionally listen to Scottish tunes.

And VT - (1) that's not folk, it's contemporary, and (2) it's a song not a tune.

Subject: RE: Mudcat Survey
From: Zen
Date: 06 Feb 09 - 01:29 PM

it's for Irish tunes. That comes in about zero on my interest scale, marginally above bluegrass ones

Thanks for that RB... good to know. You wouldn't care to add Scottish, Appalachian and Old Timey so I can rest completely easy?

I haev finally succumbed to temptation and went to look at thesession.

Now I see why I had never heard of it - it's for Irish tunes. That comes in about zero on my interest scale, marginally above bluegrass ones.
