If they don't (and they _really_ should...), there are some folk in
Ansteorra who can show you some good songs.  I am assuming you are in
Austin, yes?  Then it is a hop, skip, and a jump to Stargate.  Hit up Master
Avatar for good period songs.  Contact Baron Michael Silverhands - he has
books.  In fact, he has some of Master Avatar's books.  If you are up this
way (Barony of Namron, northern Ansteorra), let me know you are coming and
I'll share what I have, or hook you up with Master Michael and his library.
He supplied the Greenwood Singers with good music for many years.  In the
Elfsea area, talk to Baroness Xene.  I understand they were trying to get
some musicians together not too long ago.

I like the idea of sharing tapes.  Maybe we should all shove our excessive
humility in the corner and actually tape ourselves, making copies to trade
at big events.  Send some to Pennsic, Estrella, or Gulf Wars.  Throw all the
tapes in a helmet, then pull one out at random.  One for one, no repeats,
can't take home one you brought.
