Folkalopolis

“It’s all folk music, because it’s all music made by folks.”

—Fats Waller

What folk song are you? Our staff of highly trained professionals, incorporating the latest technologies and intuitive musical proclivity probes, guides you gently to your inner song. We begin with a neural-stimulating questionnaire and move quickly through a series of melody and rhythm provoking exercises. After a brief and painless osciilloscan, followed by a high-speed data swirl, each participant is escorted to an aesthetically appropriate, user-friendly Folkalpod. There, in a glowing orange tent under the elongated shadows of Moderne Art Deco architecture along the mighty Mississippi River, with a small group of friendly strangers of compatible folkal-tendencies, you are taught the song. It is yours, forever, to carry forth into the night. Can you say Folkalopolis?
