Hey 'Fox.....Funny you should mention that as I took the poetry with Jean's time frame in mind & Bruce's ideas with me today to a unique library not far from me. They have, literally, VOLUMES of possibilities and I'm there every few weeks. Lots of period and older material that might fit the bill.JEAN.....I bet you know the place since you have played there in the past. Its the Wagnall's Memorial in Lithopolis, funded by the Wagnall's fortune (Funk&Wagnalls) and they have an excellent collection of older material. I talked with a friend there and she will keep an eye out and I'll be back and and search a little more in a few weeks.
If nothing else, as Sorcha said, you have some interested folks with a song they now know and it will be one of those things that kinda' lurks in the back of the mind.....so don't give up. Might happen!!
