Yes, I do, Rita- and it's a good one.

Last year most of the recording I did was sub standard, I didn't have an external mike so too much extraneous stuff was picked up. This year's is much better- (except for what appears to be an incipient case of asthma on my part! I'll have to have that checked out.)

Next year I want to see about acquiring a lightweight mike stand- every time I moved the mike, it made noise. Irritating as can be.

But there are a lot of really good recordings. My plan is to take the minidiscs to a tech shop and have them make master CDs from them- I suspect there will be 7 or so - only about 80 minutes goes onto each CD and I think I will have something like 500 minutes. Haven't finished the clean up process yet so new firm figures yet.

Before I do that, I will start a thread on the identities of singers and songs. That will give each person one last chance to say 'NO WAY'!!

After that I'll finish the process and burn a copy for everyone who wants one- or follow through on whatever better ideas people have. Maybe donate a copy to the Mudcat?

In any case, there are a ton of songs there that I want to learn. Y'all have BEAUTIFUL voices and you know many, many songs that I had never heard.
