If I could make a suggestion, both Diva and MoJo have demonstrated a talent for linking to the original music for these songs, which would give visitors the ability to play the music while they are reading along. I don't know if they have the time or inclination, but it may be something they could help us out with...that is, providing a hyper-link to the original song under "Original Title"!!

DFU suggested the same thing. I'll try to get around to it when I have the time -- basically the problem is that MIDI hosting sites are not fond of direct linking, so I'd have to download them and serve them from my own doamin, which may then cause copyright or other licensing problems.

What would be better (and as long as I'm dreaming, how 'bout a pony?) would be to get a group of FReepers to make some recordings of the parodies and serve them up as MP3 files from the "songbook" site -- maybe even burn some normal-format audio CDs and distribute them to activist groups and conservative-leaning radio talk-show hosts.

Diva and MoJo can post the original songs by the original artists, which I believe is a big improvement over MIDIs. I'm not sure exactly how that works with the copyright laws, but if we aren't making money on their recordings, I don't think the artists really care that much.

I share yer dream, my FRiend, and will see if I can do anything to make it a reality--believe me, I've tried...LOL!!--let me know if you find any good conservative musicians out there, they're few and far between!!
