Is there a link to FolkLib Index website in the Mudcat links section? I didn't find one, and am currently having trouble with the search engine timing out or giving an error message.

Thanks masato for posting that. I asked because I had told a friend of mine about the site, but couldn't remember the address, so told them to check here to find the link on the links page. I guess I was wrong about that, as FolkLib has a page listing the sites with known links to them, and Mudcat isn't on it.

Is there some way to get this great site on Mudcat's links page?

Wrong, wrong, wrong. There IS a link provided from Mudcat. It just took me quite some time to find it. It is under the styles/genres links under the "General Folk" category. I admit to being totally baffled by the index system used on the links pages, and I still wonder why there isn't just a clickable alphabetical sort to finding them in addition to the subject sorts currently given when you click on links.

Once the search engine let me in, I also found the link in the permathreads. I won't ask if or how the permathread links are cross-referenced to the links page.

The links on the site seem very out of date, and lots no longer work

    Abby Sale just told me about these Forums at Mudcat. I apologize for any broken links found at my site. If anyone has an update for any broken link they find, please send it and I will be glad to update my pages. With 650+ pages and 8,000+ different Folk and 4,000+ Wisconsin recording artist's links to maintain over the almost ten years my site has been on-line since 11-25-1995, I do the best I can.

    Admittedly, while I work on my 2006 book,
   "FolkLib Index: Wisconsin Discography
   (Recordings by Wisconsin resident musicians 1948-2005)"
the Wisconsin links do get maintenance priority, but I work on the general Folk Music links as I have time, and as I get E-Mail requests to add new links.

    I also got behind in maintenance recently while I was getting Bill Markwick's wonderful piece of work back on-line,
   "The Folk File: A Folkie's Dictionary"

    Please write if you have additions/corrections to anything on my website. Thank you.

And, from another post on this subject:

    I just found Mudcat's "FolkLib Index" link at,
   Links: Styles / Genres: General Folk
