Bruce, I'm even more impressed. Oh, think of all the wonderful things we could do if we could only devote ourselves to our amateur (ama=love) passions. Some day after you're long gone someone will discover your information, and perhaps lionize you as a great folklorist. I have small part of the collection of a folksinger from Germany named Joseph Gregor who I met at a hootnanny in a German Youth Hostel in Paris in the 70s. He went around Europe and taught people songs in their houses and in hostels. People had stacks 3-4 feet high of music he'd taught them. I wonder if any of you know of him? judy
