Thanks "Burke" for that interesting stuff on recognising Shape-Note songs. "TNDARLN" - yes, it's a direct quote - the chorus is something like : "... on the Shining Way / To the Land of Light / Going where the blessed .../ Where there come no night / Oh what joy...near.../...holy.../Oh how happy on the Shining Way/ To the Promised Land". Somehow though, the whole sound in this song with the "fa sol la singers", is redolent of a fairground steam organ sound!! It's very cheery (and charming). "WYSIWYG" I have some of the songs on tape and some on CD, but I have NO idea how to do more than 2-finger-type on a PC!!! (mine's not exactly state-of-the-art either). Re lyrics in general, I have M/S Works files (and I guess I can upgrade them to M/S Word without too much drama) that contain words of around 140 "folk-ish" songs and around 100 "jazz-ish/nostalgia" songs. (They are each divided into 5 alphabetical files). I don't mind sharing these with the lyric-loving, song-searching world, but apart from file-attaching them to an email to someone, I don't have a CLUE (or indeed, much time) on how to submit them. I have lots of songbooks too - but that's another story... Re the Camp Meeting / Revival / Brush Arbour songs - I have a particular quirky predilection for these, but rarely find books with the words. Most down here seem to contain the Wesleyan, or, Sankey style of hymn, rather than the down-to-earth, joyful, "folky" types that I like!! WYSIWYG, many of my requested titles came from the recent re-issues of old collections like : The Music of Kentucky and The Half Ain't Ever Been Told - both on Yazoo. I have very little on CD due to the now exorbitant cost in Oz, of purchasing music from overseas - plus our devalued $, the G & S Tax, the unemployment situation - none of these help the situation either!!! Re my name - "rich" and "joy" are parts of my given and middle names. My partner "christened" me "richjoy" awhile back, in the hopes that the meaning of the appellation would rub off on me, both in terms of monetary richness AND richness in joy - esp. as his name is Paul (poorl)!!! (I'm still working on both...)Cheers from DownUnder.
