Folk is my major music interest. Being real active might be difficult as I've a dial-up connection and it takes about a half hour to download one song. If I can convince the husband to haul the laptop into Mendocino for the wi-fi connection, I'll be able to share.

I have a lot of Irish and Scottish music and a fair amount of Balkan and Russian.

What a great idea for a community!

Hi :) Join the community, and I'll let you straight in. I too am on dial-up, although my download times aren't as bad as yours seem to be (of course, that depends on the size of the song file). Uploading seems to take me about half an hour per 5mb. I've learnt to be very patient. ;)

But activity can be as much to do with joining in discussion as anything else, so don't worry.

Cool icon. :)

I have suggested my husband albionwood join, too. He hosts a two-hour Celtic show on KZYX every other Sunday.

I eagerly await the first theme! (Are we working this on themes?)

[mogigraphia]

If I see that name, I'll let him straight in.

It looks as if we are having themes, yes, and I'll be posting the first one in the next hour or so, but I'm going to stress that people can post about whatever they like (on topic). The theme is just to give impetus. :)

Look at it this way: slow dialup presents a challenge. Set the 'load to run, then find something creative and fun to do to pass the time. [hint: spouses are handy for that sort of thing.]

I'm looking forward to seeing what develops [here, that is; elsewhere is strictly Someone Else's Business].

P. S. I'm here via audiography too, initially into filk, which includes lots of folk of all flavors and vintages.
