I had never heard of any other.

I would dearly love the words, but being on dialup (for technical AND expense reasons), and since PDF files are always HUGE, having them sent to me by email can cause real hassles if I am not prepared, i.e. able to stay connected for several hours, and I am also unable to get any other email till the big one finalises. It is actually much easier for me to be able to download massive files (on the order of several hundreds of megabytes) in the background (being able to suspend and restart over a period of weeks at my convenience) from somewhere than to get even just 3 megabytes in a single email...

I do appreciate and respect your point of view, however. I do respect
the point of view of the author, having trashed several 'adaptations' I was interested in doing, once the original authors expressed negative opinions.


"a 'proper' rendition of it is hard to do from simply reading and adapting"

I would agree that would DEFINITELY be the case for those who ONLY have a 'folk music' background - but some people who play in the folk scene DO have appropriate relevant experience of a Classical Music background (I'm refusing to take offence!), and if we don't understand something, we know how to look up appropriate references, even correct pronunciations.


"Let's keep the "word of mouth" spirit alive, folks!"

I have already expressed my partial negativity on this - 27 Jun 06 - 07:19 PM .

Where do you think _I_ got that from as a child?.... :-)
