New Topic, yes !

I am so happy that we now can discuss the Arts online, anytime !

Thanks for registering and for checking in periodically to comment, update, learn and share.

Here's today’s topic : Why do you think Women in the Arts are relegated to supportive roles, or roles in group settings, or are relegated to renegade roles, alone, out there somewhere, pioneering without much help from the arts community or from society ?
Do you think these are valid questions ?
Can you think of any women who have been marginalized thusly, and what were some of the results ? Suicide, loss of family, loss of job, mental breakdown, or the abandonment of the artistic pursuit ? Have you ever felt marginalized as a woman, especially as a woman artist ? Let me know what you think.

All the best,

Linda Ravenswood

Why does Ravenswood makes us learn all of these Balkan songs ?

Hi Friends !

Welcome to our new web log and World Music Discussion website.
Now we will be able to share and brainstorm anytime ! Please visit this site regularly to add your input, share your stories, and bring songs for singing ! Don't forget to link us to your song ideas, your favourite music and other good research !

So, are ya tired of singing in Croatian ? Are ya longing for a nice Appalachian tune ? Why do I keep introducing you to all of these Bulgarian songs, anyway ?

So that's our first topic ... what's with all of this " World Music "? What the dickens is World Music, anyhow

Please address these few topics in a sensitive, well crafted opinion/rant/comment.

Have fun, be creative, tell your truth, be bold !!

I look so forward to hearing from all of you ...
