The composite Composition/Composer/Discography catalog is _way_ behind
schedule. If anyone out there could help in perhaps getting a grant so I
could take a couple of months off to get this together would you please
e-mail me privately? I have the tools and raw data ready, but lack the spare
time at the moment to compile the information and test the retrieval tools
thoroughly. I'm serious about looking for a grant! It'll go on-line in any
case - but at the present rate I'm about 2 years away from putting up what I
currently have stockpiled.
