Here are the beginnings of World Univ & Sch's Agriculture School -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om/wiki/World_University_Agric​ulture_School -

(Yea for open, free,wiki, Creative Commons' wikis for idea-sharing!) WU's Ag School will potentially help so many people in the emerging world,and everywhere!

Calling for your collaboration ...

WUaS wants to create an enormous number of jobs -

(see this Krugman editorial:
http://mobile.nytimes.com/arti​cle?a=824950) -

in all countries and languages ...

a kind of export strategy, business-wise, where other countries govts.,

like in UNESCO WHS, will eventually compensate WUaS -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om/ - for free degrees ...

Some fascinating Ethnomusicological projects in 2012

(think Alan Lomax - http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om/wiki/Ethnomusicology ...

music collecting along the Hippy trail from Edinburgh to Kerala, India,

and the ethnomusicology of the book 'Rise Up Singing' in the US,

as well as ethnomusicology of Scottish Bagpiping ...

with attention to harmony singing. :O)

Let's make this WUaS page come alive :)



Listening to Ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax's recordings (1997 Rounder Records - 12 CDs) from 1959 from Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas & Alabama - kinda wild - will add some, as references, to WUaS's Ethnomusicology subject http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om/wiki/Ethnomusicology :)
