Thank you all, for messages both public & private. I know I'll have a
few more (there's a few hungarian phrases lurking about in my
composition database).

I will be asking for more compositions in the near future, especially
those _not_ in the American Music Center library - I have 99% of those
already recorded in the database. If there's someone out there with a
bit of time, I'd love to hear from you and point you to some of the
other libraries (I know of the Canadian and Australian Music Center
on-line libraries, and there's probably more). The input into the new
database are structured text files, and they're verified for "saneness"
before they're allowed into the database (the instrumentation and
publisher are checked against the current valid list, and corrections
are made manually).

Email me personally if you'd like to volunteer in the near future. Mr.
Takashi Kawai has already volunteered for Japanese clarinet music.

All entries will be publicly available via the Sneezy Web site, and will
be directly browsable (search engine not needed) for most queries
(instrumentation, composer, publisher, etc.)

The next step will be integrating the discographies I have (about 3500
entries currently, from Ken Shaw and others) into the Composition
database.

Now, if the boss would just give me a 1 year paid sabbatical so I could
catch up to what I already have stacked up ... unfortunately, a one year
sabbatical for me is really 1 year unemployment :^(
