Eclectic folk music interests?

Are you an instrumentalist or singer in or near Melrose, with an
interest in music of the Middle East or Turkey?  Or the Balkans?  What about Brittany (France), or Scandinavia?  I'm an amateur musician, with a collection of traditional instruments and repertoire, seeking to jam and grow musically with local colleagues who share a taste for exotic traditional modes and rhythms.  All skill and experience levels welcomed.  Contact Jim Garrett at JGForMusic@gmail.com.
