Re: Song lyrics (was Re: Beginning a translation)

Everybody who knows me knows this, but I'll weigh in anyway, just to be
annoying; :)  if anyone can still play .ra or .rn files, lyrics to some of
the songs I've composed in Teonaht are at
http://www.frontiernet.net/~scaves/teoreal2.html.  Even if you can't hear
the song, you can read the words, I suppose.  When I get back from
California, I'll REALLY have to learn how to do .mp3 files.  BTW, was the
NPR link I gave you useable?  I think it was another .ra file.

With that, I bid you adieu for two weeks.  Back on the 21st.

Vyko!
