Burke-

Thanks for your info. There doesn't seem to be any organized hymn/gospel index on the web (and there may not be one off the web either).

I'd be willing to undertake such a project but it would take some time. Currently I am putting fiddle tune lyrics that I have found mostly on-line: Click here

I am planning on doing early shape-note/gospel and hymn research at some point. I can put the data on my site or we could create a new site or link with Mudcat.

I'd like to know if there would be any interest and especially anyone willing to help with the research. The melodies could be made available or just the lyrics.

Any takers-suggestions?

Richie
