I stand corrected. And thank you Bruce, for finally getting me to go to
your website. I have never seen a more varied collection of the rarities
and treasures of traditional music of the olden times.
To all others on the list, if you're looking for an old song, start with Bruce.
And to Bruce, a hearty "Huzzah!" for this freely given trove of music.
Thanks again -- Tom
