Hey, I go on vacation for two weeks and when I come back my favorite DigiTrad mirror site -rickheit/dtrad- is gone. Anyone know what happened to it, and whether there is another mirror site that will print the music as well as lyrics?

As far as I know, Susan-Marie, that's the only worthwhile mirror of the Digital Tradition that has been available. I think there's a text mirror of an edition of the database from the early 1990's at Noel Paul Stookey's Celestat.com (a neighborhood computer bulletin board in Maine); but you're better off here or using the PC version of the database. I had posted a link to "Yet Another Digital Tradition" just a few days ago, and it was working fine. Today, I went there and found this message:

This page is shut off. There are no plans to restart it.

The site was operated by Erich Rickheit. I sent him an e-mail and asked if he'd like to come and tell his story. It sure was a nice Web site, wasn't it?

Gone, gone, gone

Thanks to the musical notation printouts available at Erich's mirror site, I've avoided becoming literate in music software. Now I guess I'll have to make the effort to learn one of the programs. I hope Erich responds to your e-mail - let us know if he does.

Well, I wrote an e-mail to the guy who had the "Yet Another Digital Tradition" site. I got my message back as undeliverable, with this explanation;

[e-mail]
The pipe has been ended.

I'm not quite sure what that means, but it sounds very final. Too bad.
