Wow Ed:

You said it for us all. As for Sandy's collection of "ethnomusicology, folk tales, and song books" -- I cut my teeth on it as a singer and student of folklore. Perhaps there are bigger collections, but when coupled with the tapes, the recordings, the coffee, and the conversation-- I cannot think of any learning environment that came close!

Sandy-- I know it's time to let go, but it feels as if we have only just begun!
