How about as we identify ones we'd like MIDIfied first, we list that in the permathread? Then when we have a volunteer they will have a list to start from.

I have the Lomax stuff saved now as MP3s that sort by title. It's heavenly to have Dicho's lyrics posted as I go through listening, and our index here is much easier to use than the Lomax fieldnote storage system! Plus we get the variants-- this is AWESOME now that I am starting to get back to these dear old songs! And as I listen to later black gospel stuff the sme way-- I am starting to hear the connections back to the spirituals, and someday maybe I will know enough to post about them!

I am also really glad we have most of the songs in separate threads-- now as we start adding stuff, it would be really unwieldy to refer back to the different songs if they were all in one thread-- at least for this overloaded brain, it would be.

Thanks, again, and again, Dicho and Masato and ALL who have worked on these.
