Spaw, thanks for the suggestion. I see that once again you march to that different and distant drummer. Trouble is, Mairi has two syllables and Jablonski has three. Would it be all right if I substituted Novak for Mairi? Or Sobczak?

Rumncoke, you have a collection of songs going back to the 60's? I'm impressed. I'm sure that I've learned many songs since then that have gone the way of the buffalo.

Kid, are you sure your screen name isnt' actually Kidder?

Yesteray I excavated a 16th C dance tune called 'The Scots Bransle.' If the friends are willing to learn a new piece, we will be doing that at the Games. I believe I'll ask Joe to post the MIDI...
