Ron's Recommended Sites

This month's theme: Folk Music
I am a rather poor guitar player who likes to play folk music. Since nobody else in America seems to listen to folk music anymore, I have to get music off of the internet. While the internet may be full of pop tablatures, it is really lacking in folk music, so this month's article is devoted to what I could find. If any of you know of a web site where I could find chords to all sorts of Johnny Cash songs, I'd be much obliged.
OLGA
http://www.harmony-central.com/Guitar/OLGA/all/
While not devoted to folk music, OLGA has a ton of stuff in every category. The fellas that run this really deserve a pat on the back. Where else could I find "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down"? If you know of any folk music that they don't have, send it in and be appreciated by... dozens!
This site features Scottish, Irish, Scandinavian, French, and Balkan music. Whew, and we can't get a good American folk music page. You've got to respect people who put this much time and energy into something they love. It's neat to hear how this kind of foreign folk music has affected our beloved American folk music.
What we've accomplished today
I hope that this has drawn attention to a serious problem with the internet and I hope all of you will email me the addresses of all the thousands of folk music sites that I have overlooked. Also, I think that I've shown to all of you that my column can be about darn near anything.
