Dave,

For IP if you want.

In a previous message, someone wrote about the early blues and jazz artists:

One example of a group supporting these musicians and trying to preserve
and make this work available is the Music Maker Relief Foundataion
<http://www.musicmaker.org/>.  You can order CDs of this music, download
MP3 files or listen to RealAudio streams.  And you can make charitable
contributions to help support these artists that did not appear to have been
protected or enriched by the "music industry."
