Guest, I'm in a literal mood today so let me say [write] that I hope somebody can research this, but I have no more connection to any university or reseach facility than any other Mudcat member or guest.

Of course, if I come across any information on this subject as I dibble and dabble in researching African American folk songs {using a wide definition of 'folk songs'}, and if I have Internet access and if Mudcat is still around {as I hope it will be} then I'll share that information here.

And I hope you [the collective "you"] will also do the same.
