Gargoyle-
I forgive the spelling (pecunious and Greenhaus), but I do think that you're wrong about the benefits of a searchable database version of what is perhaps the basic work in the field of folk music.
    In any case, I'm not trying to push this edition--I'd just like to make it available to interested parties at a lower price. I do the same thing with books--if a half-dozen people say they want a book, I can usually offer it at a substantial discount.
