How about a "Complete Scott Skinner" ABC project, to put all his tunes online? When we finish it, we could do a quick conversion to PDF and publish it ... Any volunteers to start transcribing? We could start by asking people to send in what they have now, after making sure that there's a B: header line in every tune that documents the source. I also have a Ryan/Cole project going, with a few people doing that transcription. Anyone with a copy of either book and a few free hours is welcome to contribute. You're too late to get in on the O'Neill's Project; we have his 3 major tomes as ABC. (But if you know of any more odds and ends of his lying about, we'd welcome them.) In scale, neither of these comes close to Johnny Adams' Village Music Project ...
