Well, I have about 15 linear feet of songbooks. I have "manufactured books" by Alan Lomax, Cyril Tawney and Carl Sandberg. I have lyric books by Judy Collins and Joan Biaz. I have hymnals from a variety of religions. I have folios filled with sheets that have been passed out at various places, including the Getaway. I have notebooks with songs transcribed from records. IMHO, a "manufactured book" that was originally overseen by Pete Seeger is a pretty good resource. Are you seriously advocating that, if a person wants to sing a song in RUS (which hasn't been blue for years), they transcribe it and memorize the transcription? Seems dumb to me, but I'm no judge of others.
