Subject: RE: This Forum & American Folk Music
Another option I recall and can recommend is looking at the music thread list periodically and refreshing interesting stuff that's about to fall off the daily list.

Because--

Sometimes a thread with fewer than 10 posts just does not look interesting enough to people and they don't open it and contribute, but a thread that keeps landing on the top of the list will often be opened out of curiosity.

Also, a lot of the knowledgable members are not here every day, so if the thread falls off, they don't tend to see it.

Other past options that can be very productive are that if one is taking a break from BS or from one's own music interests-- the well running dry for examle-- spending a few minutes opening and answering lyric requests can lead to some interesting places for oneself, AND add to the interest in the forum. A little Googling for somoene else's request(s) can be a good thing.
