In reply to a message from Joe Offer, yes indeed, the complete three volume set of Kenneth Peacock's Songs of the Newfoundland Outports is available on CD ROM. It includes everything that was in the original publication,(517 songs, lyrics and musical notation, Peacock's notes on songs, introduction, acknowledgements, and photos) as well as excerpts from original informant recordings, audio playback of written musical notation, and besides Peacock's original theme index, it has a regional and community index of songs and informants, singer index, and a first line index. All indices are cross referenced and the CD ROM includes a full lyric search as well as a bookmark feature. It also includes a full biography of Kenneth Peacock written by Anna Kearney Guigne.
