Everything is world music by that criteria...but that isn’t the criteria on the heading for this group.

@Marionville do you mean this heading - I've emphasised the parts applicable to this post's eligibility and italicised the part where it is not applicable.

"A group to share great music with others of any type from around the world, and of any language, and taste. Everyone is welcome to join! Just keep in mind that there are other music groups in which you can post well known artists and songs which are in the mainstream US/UK music market. This group should be reserved for a more eclectic, international type of music."

@FrayedBear American Third Stream Jazz is not in my opinion World Music...for the intents and purposes of promoting music from other parts of the (non-English speaking) world...which is what we do in this group. It matters not a jot whether you think I’m wrong or not, unless you wish to take over moderating and hosting this group, in which you have been conspicuous by your absence until now. I can’t remember the last time you contributed anything here.

@Marionville lol. Be thankful for small mercies and thuggery akin to Rachmanism & Guantanamo Bay psychological warfare in this case perpetrated against me by a trading arm of the Uniting Church.

@FrayedBear Glad to hear you’re still in one piece!

@Marionville thanks. It currently feels like Ive jumped from the frying pan to the fire. Australia closes down for January _ current outdoor temp 108°F in the shade, 87 inside with the fan on! So I have a bit of a wait for appropriate bodies tasked with protecting citizens to reopen.

@FrayedBear oh gosh...that heat sounds unbearable to me! Try and keep as cool inside as possible and hydrated too!

@Marionville lol. It is very dry heat - the plants wither as I watch. My pre bed nightcap this am. was 2 litres of water and I didnt have to visit the bathroom for six hours! Getting into the car is usually getting into a 60-70 °C furnace! Thanks to to skillfull engineering and maintenance the A/C still works - I open the window.

I have no idea what a row of arrows is supposed to mean! American, British and other English speaking music has plenty of other homes on this site. This group is for music with a connection to either non-English speaking countries and cultures, or songs sung in other languages.

@Marionville look at my comment above.

@FrayedBear I already did...and left a comment,

@Marionville Then why ask what the arrows are for?

@FrayedBear Because they look ridiculous and completely unnecessary.

@Marionville miaow, hiss lmao
