Folks,

Granted that I have been away and preoccupied with health issues the last half year or so, but when I look in here I've found very few (if any) threads or ideas that interest me. I know I have one or two things in my head to add here. In the past, it was great to see someone looking for info, mostly on American traditional topics, that went in directions that, over the last 4 or 5 decades, totally occupied my folk delvings. Please don't tell me to start threads. I'd rather know, in front, that the need for what I have is there already. Then I can put in my two cents.
