Talk:Song

I'm new to this, as are most of us I suspect, but my instinct is that we should talk a bit to each other even at this early stage. My first question for the group is-who is our readership? People will come to the site with very different levels of knowledge. The "First Level" should be very gentle, assuming the reader has no knowledge of folk song, but constructed so that the person wil be stimulated to go into gradually increasing depth, as well as enabling afficianados to get quickly to where they want to be. At the moment, we scroll down the song page, and get a long list of names of singers, which is excellent stuff for "Level 2 or 3" user, but perhaps offputting to the casual "Level 1" visitor. Same applies to song types, which I have started but certainly not finished. So perhaps we should be able to scroll down less, but click on more?

I'm loth at the moment to go in and make wholesale changes without some discussion, but for now, would not this a be more logical first level structure for the Song Section?
