Joe, is that the kind of post you want to stand in perpetuity?

Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. You can control and direct a PermaThread - but otherwise, you have no right to control what people post in any other kind of thread you've started. Perhaps you and your sidekick should learn not to be so gol-durned bossy. It's wonderful for you and your partner to work on special projects like spirituals or whatever, but it is just plain good manners to respect and allow the contributions of others - even if they do not fit your exact specifications.


We were talking about Spirituals, weren't we? Now, for me, most of the spirituals I know myself came down to us through the Fisk Jubilee Singers. Their influence on the proliferation of spirituals to the general public was truly remarkable. Yes, as Q says, there were others, but the Fisk Singers were so influential that I think they merit a category all to themselves.
