Subject: RE: New website, old songs
Great Web Site. Congratulations!

The content needs no improvement but it is slow to load and therefore navigating through it is a little difficult.

Have you thought of using a database to store the info and using the web site as a front end for access?

You could use "Filemaker Pro 4" as the database and "Claris Home Page" will allow you to build direct links to it.

Both software packages are very easy to use and you will be quite competent in the use of both in a couple of hours. If you can write HTML then you will find both of these programs a doddle to use. They are inexpensive too and will run on Windows or Mac with a new developer version out soon that will run on Unix boxes.

However, congratulations again. I will be a regular visitor and I will be singing some of your collections before long. I shall spread the word and put in a link from our site.

Thank you for your great work in preserving the tradition.
