Jim - I seriously do admire & applaud what you're doing collecting,
preserving and passing on the songs of your community.

We actually aren't that dissimilar in some respects...

Half a lifetime ago I was photographic archivist for a major regional Industrial Museum,
and some while later worked on an oral folk history project associated with Folk South West.

I wish the rest of my working life had been as interesting and enjoyable...


So again, long may you keep up the good work...

Those aspects of music we disagree on,
aren't such a big deal in the greater scheme of things, really...
