Why split things up into so many separate areas anyway? The result is just going to be that no one subforum gets enough traffic to be viable. Imagine what Mudcat would look like if it was made up of separate areas exclusively for children's songs, bawdy songs, guitar accompaniment, library resources, American folklore, German traditional music... none of the cross-fertilization that makes this such an interesting place could happen.

I'd be quite interested in discussing music with any of the three different kinds of banjo player that ukfolkies recognizes, but I would definitely have NOTHING in common with a tenor banjo player who didn't even want to talk to 5-string banjo players.

Come back and tell us when you've got an "anything goes" area.
