Wow, it's good to hear that some non-dutchies are interested in our music. Keep up the good work (actually, you are doing what I've always wanted to do...). Should you ever be in need of a certain song or tune, I've quite a large collection, and I would be happy to send you something. Lais and Kadril are very impressive, I think it was Kadril that almost won the Eurovision Songcontest (second place). It's a bit of a puzzle why Belgians are more interested in folk-music than the Dutch, maybe it has got something to do with the fact that Belgium is bi-lingual (actually tri-lingual). Maybe the Flemish have more need to distinguish their culture from the Wallon...
