 I have the disk with me today. Jon you need to be more careful with your
 "facts" especially when you either don't have the material being discussed
 in front of you or are assuming something based on previous knowledge. Of
 the above list there is only info Townes and BR5-49 on the CD.

All of them are in the print edition.  Maybe you can trade in the CD.

Well, if you're going to make a mistake, it might as well be a big, stupid
one.  Having misread Jim's initial post, I've been blithely going along
thinking that he was referring to a CD-ROM version of the recent
Encyclopedia Of Country Music, which, I just now realized, is...what's the
right word here?  Oh, yeah: WRONG!

My apologies, Jim.

And, just in case anyone else is as slow as I was in tracking this, the
country.com encyclopedia CD-ROM that Jim refers to is the one based on the
Carlin book that Don Yates and I (and, I think, a couple of others) jumped
on a month or more ago, when news of the CD-ROM first appeared.

Boy, you're really on a roll today, aren'cha?g  The CD-ROM in question
is the one based on Barry McCloud's Definitive Country encyclopedia, not
Richard Carlin's The Big Book Of Country Music (neither of which is in the
same league as the CMF's new Encyclopedia of Country Music).  hoping Jon

Aw, crap.  My batting average is headed straight for Garth Brooks'.
