Why no Italian genre?

Sounds refreshing, the mazurka!

Very cool David! I want to make something garlicky and pasta like for lunch now!
The tune is already running around in my head!
May I ask what mandolin you are playing the Mazurka on?

As a forum owner I'm wary of "Forum Creep" or "Forum Bloat," the problem of listing so many categories that from a usability point it becomes overwhelming to users.

Lot of truth to this statement. I belong to other forums (non-music) and there is a genuine tipping point between too much and just enough.

A basic model Sakis bowlback, made in Greece by a company known for bouzoukis.

no I'm not left handed - it's a reverse picture

Thanks David, appreciate the response.

I'd like to suggest a subforum for "poggae" --a fusion of polka and reggae. You never know--someone may post music in this category...

Should'nt that be in the Polish section, then?

(ah, just kidding - kinda)

How about North Italian vs. Southern Italian? That seems to be a thing. (Funny how many countries have that north/south thing going on, even if it's often more myth than reality.)

I'm happy enough to lump Sicilian, Southern Italian and Northern Italian music together.

Moi aussi


But I think it was tongue in cheek David.

Here's a request: provide links to 10-15 discussions that have occurred in the past 30 days which would be specific to just an Italian category in and of itself, and not fit into an existing Forum and I'll consider it. I can see adding "Italian" into the Classical, Medieval, Renaissance area as I think that's a fit but will await replies.

Just curious, but, did anyone manage to fulfill that request?
