A current check of the top 20 music threads show 14 of them about music in the UK. Another one is about the shawl being auctioned, which leaves 5 music threads that are not pertinent to any particular country. I note this, not as a complaint, or with any suggestion in mind. When I run through the music threads every time that I come onto the Cat, I have to search to find any that relate to a song I might have heard, or a performer from this country. There is currently a thread on Etta Baker, and one on Cindy Mangsen and Steve Gillette, but it seems like the American contingent of this community is either drifting away, or not starting threads in the music section. That speaks well of my friends across the sea, and there are music threads started by them that I truly enjoy. But, I can see where people might the impression that this is primarily a UK folk community.

Where have all the Americans gone?

Guess I better put up or shut up, so I'll start a thread about Folk music in Greenwich Village and Berkely in the 60's.

Missing my countrymen..
