I think most of the regional threads have to do with regional real world events. Doesn't stop people from somewhere else posting, though. Folk music has always been about communities, and that usually means where people live. I really enjoy reading about events, and the "this is the way we do it where I live" discussions. We talk and we learn.

Obviously (what a redundant word that is!) it is difficult for gatherings to be anything but regional, but I don't give a monkeys where anyone is from, as long as they don't take my lighthearted jibes too seriously! We all have to learn to laugh at ourselves, and accept that others will inevitably have a preconceived idea of the characteristics someone from a particular area my be likely to exhibit. The UK gatherings have, so far, dispelled such myths - in fact, we had a 'colonial' at Llanstock! Maybe the reason for this thread was somewhat tongue-in-cheek? |

02 Dec 00 - 03:43 PM (#350297) Subject: RE: BS: is mudcat becaming regionalised From: The Shambles Jon. I am only suggesting that the request probably demonstrates that The Mudcat is as universal as it ever was, if not more so.
A "no I haven't a clue" post to a thread that has not received a satisfactory answer, whether from Italy or anywhere else will at least keep the thread alive until someone does answer it. The more attention that the request receives, the more chance that it will be answered. In truth I do not think that Malcolm's "I do not know" post was not there when I posted the link. |

02 Dec 00 - 04:15 PM (#350311) Subject: RE: BS: is mudcat becaming regionalised From: McGrath of Harlow If anything we are getting less regionalised - even in the time I've been here there's been less of a sense that this is essentially a USA site, and that people from elsewhere are on the fringe.
And all the interest and kerfuffle over the Presidential elections doesn't go against that - anybody from anywhere has been able to chip in there, because it's something that does actually make a real difference to our lives, bothy the question who gets elected, and the question of how far the oldest sizeable democracy on the planet may be veering away from democratic principles or not.
We are still very heavily centred on a few Western and English-speaking countries, and that shows itself both in the kinds of folk music that tend to be explored, and in the BS threads. But I think that will change over time, and I hope it will.
But alongside this, it's great if Mudcatters in different places can build up links in the face-to-face world. Once I commented on the fact that, by and large, this is a more humane and friendly places than any other broadly similar website or newsgroup I've seen, and someone suggested that one reason for that is that quite a lot of us have met other Mudcatters in person. I think that is quite true. |

I think the gatherings we've had lately do show a tedency to be regional for obvious reasons. And the UK contingent have more gatherings than we do in the States. We tried to overcome that regionalization in the Manchester gatherings where we met in Manchester, New Hampshire, and Manchester, UK, at the same time and tried to hook the two parties together. Unfortunately the UK group couldn't come up with a laptop and the connection failed so we in the US shared music with individual members from the UK to Oz over Paltalk. If we have regionalized it is a large region encompassing a hemisphere and a half! |

03 Dec 00 - 01:57 AM (#350589) Subject: RE: BS: is mudcat becaming regionalised From: Gary T I guess I have to admit I'm confused by the question. If I read it correctly, the contention is that some of us post only to threads containing exclusively posts by others in the same geographical area. (I mention posting rather than communicating, as anyone can read any thread without our knowing about it, thus communication can occur that no one but the individual reader is aware of.) This raises numerous questions: Is it known for a fact that said people are indeed posting only to these particular threads (in other words, has EVERY recent post by these folks and/or EVERY recent thread been scrutinized)? If so, so what? (Not meaning to be disdainful, rather wondering what, if any, difference does it make to anyone.) What is meant by "shut a thread down"?

But if you check the pictures of the Llanstock event you'll see several U.K. men playing different kinds of accordions and squeezeboxes, but no women playing them. The ability to play with yourself (in or out of a McGill) is one of the beauties of the accordion. Give it a try. See for yourself. |

03 Dec 00 - 06:14 PM (#350816) Subject: RE: BS: is mudcat becaming regionalised From: John Routledge Selby - Perceived Regionalisation? Whilst people from all over the world can come to any organised Mudcat event it is inevitable that the majority of people attending will come from relatively near. To this extent the event is regionalised. Similarly making arrangements "in public" on a thread is carried out by the people attending and so is again regionalised to use your word. In reality it cannot be any other way as for example I cannot see me being of much use in the setting up of a weekend music gathering in say North Carolina never mind actually attending. The antidote to regionalisation is for all parts of the Mudcat globe to get in there and organise events and who knows I might even get to North Carolina one of these days. MUDCAT COMPUTER LINKS ARE AN IMPORTANT BUT NOT ONLY INGREDIENT IN THE MUDCAT PIE. Everybody keep communicating. Cheers G.Broon

However, after reading Long Firm Freddie's link to Yorkshire Pudden, I could work up an appetite for Yorkshire Pudden or at least work up a bit of drool over the bit about, 'It's real Yorkshire Pudden that makes Yorkshire lassies so buxum and broad in the hips.'

I've never perceived the 'Cat as anything other than an international, or non-national, community. We like to have a dig at each other now and then, but what friends don't? I think there's a definite bias towards anglophones, but that's because most of us English speakers aren't very good at other languages. A lot of UK-ers can speak passable French, while a lot of US-ers can speak reasonable Spanish, but we've still only one common tongue. (Maybe I should rephrase that last bit -- what a revolting thought!) I've had a go at the French in the past, but the truth is there are very few (none?) French Mudcatters.

Catspaw asks him to be specific, well someone from the US in a recent thread was jumping with joy at receiving a $300 tax return. The long line of replys were all from the US. In another thread the Oracle of Mudcat McGrath from Harlow asked to be enlightened about a thread concerning the appointment of a black Judge to the Supreme Court, in that case he was certainly right as the thread began in such a way as to have the European Mudcatters confused. So Selby I am about the only one in this thread that believes you have a point. I usually lash on to the music threads but this thread struck a chord. [non musical]. I must finish by praising this site, unsurpassed for its contributors knowledge of folk music. Slan Ard Mhacha. |

Little John Cameron - Thanks for the recipe. I was ignorant of the ingredients the only time I ever had haggis. Believe it or not, I'd eat it again, even knowing what's in it now. If anyone in New Jersey wants to try haggis, there's a Scottish deli in Hightstown that sells it. |

28 Jul 01 - 03:12 PM (#516736) Subject: RE: BS: is mudcat becaming regionalised From: Little Hawk This thread has drawn attention to a real potential threat to Mudcat...the Orillia Clique! Now, as a long time member of this would-be Orillia Clique, I will say this... We have TRIED to divide the Mudcat into regional groupings, we have ATTEMPTED to shut down threads, yes, we have even attempted TOTAL DOMINATION of this forum! And you know what? It's been an utter failure. Inner dissension in the clique itself has caused untold damage to our plans. Flattop's ramblings have imperilled our viability, to say nothing of our CREDibility. Some guy called catspaw49 keeps screwing things up by intruding on our discussions. He's not from Orillia, but no doubt wishes he was. It is his envy that makes him harass us (poor guy lives in the Midwest...some godforsaken piece of real estate called Ohio, if I remember correctly). Others have chosen to totally ignore us. I am going to return the favour by not naming a single one of them here. May they suffer in wretched anonymity... I am at this point deeply pessimistic about our chances of ever taking over this forum, but that doesn't mean you should not all remain vigilant. We're out there, eh? - LH |

I have found it across the States and Canada and certainly the people from the Upside down regions know it. A relative in the southern states is the hushpuppy, but made with fine corn flour. Thanks, Shambles, for the Britain Express site. |
