I'm just starting to listen to Nordic music, but otherwise, I'm pretty much useless as far as knowledge of Scandinavian customs, holiday oriented or otherwise. You may want to look into the Prairie Home Companion website, and see if Garrison has any recordings of holiday stories. Lake Woebegone is set in an area primarily settled by Norwegians, I believe. He may have something of interest but PHC stuff is pretty expensive.


OK, one question. A lot of people (myself included) take a little offense to the term "Celtic Music" , a number of somewhat similar, but individual types of music under a common term that refuses to recognize each as having its own distinct qualities. I was wondering if I'm doing the same thing by referring to "Nordic Music". If I am, please enlighten me.
