i recently traded for an Irish banjo and here is a medley,
http://www.alansondheim.org/lillilt1.mp3 which I quite like,
almost like being there (here, where i'm playing)
(for Jon Woodson)
i also found an original copy of the first geography of the
United States, from 1784, by Jedidiah Morse, father of Samuel
Morse, painter and inventor of the telegraph. the book is
missing the first ten pages, which were xeroxed in. i have no
idea of the history of this particular volume; it's strange and
utterly wonderful. it contains four _word maps_ - the only other
word map i've seen is from 1300s China, reproduced below as
well. (note the U.S. map is missing about a third on the right.)

wet dream of conquest of any other but the self
withdrawal from repetition into ocean of belief
belief sanctifies and the war's all about women
belief takes our breath away and the wall's a virgin
scorched earth and someone's lying there
no wait there's two of them and one's hard like stone
one's a stone and one's fire and one's earth
everything's got hands everything takes everyone
no one's standing for long
