Some of the sites is organized in such way that you can download
(mark-copy-paste in MS Word) all songs in one sequence i.e the Carter family
site. Thus you have it on your own hard disc and do not need to download the
material from the net. All the above material will keep you busy for
teen-fifteen years or so, I guess
