Hello, this goes out to one of you who handles the upkeep here at the Cafe. Know that, in the Quick Links drop down menu, there is a link to Aine's Mudcat Songbook. That link is no longer functional. As the host site, Geocities, is no longer supported by Yahoo. The site built there is no longer able to be accessed. It is lost, digital dust in the cyber wind. Perhaps you already knew this and had the removal of that link on your to-do list but in case you didn't...

Yahoo gives a link to the WayBack site and suggests looking for an archive there, but Wayback told me there isn't an archive. (I haven't used Wayback much so someone else might have some secret ways of digging deeper.)

Transferring "Aine's Mudcat Songbook" directly to a home at Mudcat seems to be an ongoing project.

You might take a look here
Mudcat Song Book gone

and here
Aine's Mudcat Songbook at Reocities.com

Perhaps Joe will stop in with further information.

By the way: I found those 2 links within the Permathreads link in the Quick Links menu.

Yeah, it's one of those projects I got pretty far on, and then ran out of gas - click here to see what's done so far. The Songbook is available at the old address, but with "reocities" instead of "geocities" in the address: http://www.reocities.com/doireanne/index.html

If somebody with HTML skills wants to help with the project, let me know. I'll put you to work. It's not hard, just tedious.
