The use of 'net.wobegon' for general folk music topics has aroused
the wrath of the group's creator, who wants to keep the group
focused on 'The Prairie Home Companion' radio show.
It has also been noted that network people will have no idea
that net.wobegon relates to folk music, unless they are PHC fans.
(Lake Wobegon is the mythical location in Minnesota from which
the show is broadcast.)
I would like to propose the creation of a 'net.music.folk' group for
people interested in the traditional music of any culture.

Sounds good to me. I have tried to start a discussion of Celtic folk music in net.nlang.celts, to no avail. Mike McNally ...convex!smu!mike

Why the need for a subgroup? -- Anything's possible, but only a few things actually happen. Rich Rosen pyuxd!rlr
