To Margaret and others who have undecipherable notes: how about talking those notes into a tape recorder?--little by little. Helen Hartness Flanders saw that times were changing and documentation had to be done before the opportunities were gone. She made the promise to make her song collection decipherable. She is gone, but the songs were gifted back to those who love tradition. Any way you can do it, folk song fans would be grateful. (P.S. Margaret, in a couple of years I might be free to offer my secretarial services to your cause!!!)
