Sorry. Maybe Whizzy/Susan or Dicho will be along--they are sort of the resident X-spurts on spirituals. |

We'll do some looking, but in the meantime check out the African-American Spirituals Permathread... where a couple of other good ones are indexed. Hey, maybe you have a few we've missed, to add? ~Susan |
