I just hit this on a search about something else. I don't believe Burke, whoever that is, actually got around to asking me about this text, which has been discussed by me in my MA thesis and elsewhere.

I also don't think requests to me are usually answered to the effect that the information is buried in a box. Most of my folk hymnody collection is readily accessible, and I answer queries about it regularly on the Fasola Discussions list... if asked. I don't know from Mudcat, just hit this thread while Googling camp-meeting broadsides. And I realize it's not especially hot, the discussion having taken place last year.

The things that are buried in boxes (in my garage, unless Burke asked me something over 5 years ago, when the said boxes were in the basement of a different house) are of little value to the world at large, and little interest to me. But even those are still out there; I rarely get around to throwing things away.
