My singing partner and I are looking for something which maybe doesn't exist – a middle ground between "folkies" and folk academics. Dearly though we love them all, we find constantly that we're too folkie for the academics and vice versa. Can anyone out in Mudcatland help us? What we're looking for, we think, might be a) a summer school in balladry b) courses or the like in balladry with an emphasis on the *meaning* of the blessed things or c) other things of this nature. A magazine? A list-serv? Help, mudcatters!
