Question
Show the rec music makers FAQ?
Answer
The website began its life in the newsgroups rec.music.makers.guitar.tablature and alt.guitar.tab, where users would post tabs they had written or requests for tabs of certain songs or artists. The problem was that after a few days, the contents of the forum would be archived, hence the name of the site. Around 1992 the posts were collected together by James Bender at UNLV into an ftp site that later became www.OLGA.net, the project's current home. In 1994 Cathal Woods took over the project as archivist and is still in charge today.
