| There is a collection of about 144 tunes as played in the Lewes area of East
| Sussex, England at http://members.aol.com/LewesArmsFolk/Lewesfav.html.  The
| tunes are available in abc format, Noteworthy and midi (Well most of them.
| I'll get them finished soon, I promise.)  As with John's collection, a few
| Irish, Scottish and who-knows-what tunes but they're English by the time
| we've finished with them.

Something weird:  The server here delivers the abc files as:
   Content-Type: */*

This is completely bogus, of course, and confuses some browsers.  The
Netscape  4.6  here  died  the  first time I tried to download one of
them.  I restarted it, and it worked the second time, but insisted on
writing the files to disk.  It refuses to let itself be configured to
handle the "*/*" type, not surprisingly.

If you can get cooperation from your webmaster, you should try to get
them sent as the officially sanctioned type:
   Content-Type: text/vnd.abc
If you can't get this, the next best is:
   Content-Type: text/plain

| In this part of the world English tune sessions are not a rare breed at all.
| Come to the Trevor Arms, Glynde next to the railway station at 3 o'clock on
| Sunday 7th Jan and the first Sunday every month.

They're not particularly rare hereabouts (Boston, Mass, USA), either.
