Dan, I've had that book since 1984, never made the Mudcat connection! I bought the book when I was just getting into folk music the second time around, and keep finding new things in it. (I've always loved to sing "Wings of a Gull", and have never seen it or heard it anywhere else.) And yes, my copy is falling apart in chunks. Interestingly, two other Oak books -- O'Neill's Music of Ireland and Happy Traum's Fingerpicking Styles for Guitar, which are older, are intact. But there are other books from other publishers which are also shredded; maybe it was a particular manufacturer. Anyway, a belated thanks for a wonderful resource.

Aloha,
Mark
