This page lists major changes,
if any, made to the Index and installed during each site update date
listed. An exception to the general site rule that all links in
bold go off-site, bold links on this page indicate newly
created FolkLib Index pages first installed on a particular date. All
other links on this page, whether on-site or off-site are not bolded.
I'm just curious ... is there anyone anywhere in the world that
actually reads this "What's New?" page? This is the closest thing to a
"weblog" or "blog" this Web site will probably ever have.
05-15-2007: How interesting ... the above request has been here
since Nov. 2005 and not one single person in the entire world has admitted
to me that they have looked at this page at any time since then. What is
the point of my updating this page at all?
08-16-2008: Wow, somebody wrote that they actually look at this page
regularly. So there's at least one out of several billion people on Earth
that do.

specifically stated, e.g. changed "Oshkosh North Madrigal Singers" to

A great big THANK YOU!! to
http://www.websitegrader.com/
for evaluating my site and FINALLY telling me exactly how to invalidate
the link of those people who I have asked to consistently link to me at
"http://www.folklib.net/", and NOT "http://folklib.net/", but who have
refused to change their link. Because of the resulting confusion to
Search Engines, an indexing problem called "link fragmentation" occurs.
Search Engines, like Google, think they are two different sites instead of
the same site. Website Grader considers it an ERROR if they find indexed
links to otherwise identical URL's both with and without the "www." They
pointed out that this error can be corrected by installing what they call
a "permanent 301 redirect". I have just done so, and everyone who clicks
on what I personally feel is an incorrectly installed link,
"http://folklib.net/", will now be automatically redirected to
"http://www.folklib.net/". Yippee!

Connected to Time Warner Cable's "Roadrunner", after a frustrating
year of Dial-Up Service from Milwaukee PC, getting my Internet connection
dropped twice a day on average. I bought a DSL Modem from Milwaukee PC
and paid them a year in advance for AT&T DSL Service, but their Modem
never connected to the Internet for even a single second, so I could only
connect via their Dial-Up for the past year. AT&T on-site repairmen do
not exist. If your DSL problem cannot be fixed by AT&T over the phone,
you're screwed! AT&T and Milwaukee PC had my money so why should they
give a damn whether their DSL modem ever worked or not? On 06-27-2007 I
paid Milwaukee PC for a second year of Dial-Up Service, but their service
crashed that night and never came back up. Milwaukee PC cashed my check
and kept my payment, but neglected to tell me their Dial-Up Service had
been permanently discontinued. Screwed again! Two strikes and Milwaukee
PC is OUT, and Roadrunner is IN.

Removed top-of-the-page information on this site which listed serious
site problems, in chronological order:
12-15-2005 and
06-12-2006. Unfortunately, these problems
significantly affected how this site is now updated. The original concept
since 1995 of uploading at one time all pages updated since a specific
date is no longer possible at this time, or for the forseeable future.
From this point forward, until futher notice, pages will be updated
individually as needed, and as noted by the "(last updated .mm-dd-yyyy)"
note at the top of every page.
A number of new pages have been installed since 12-15-2005 which were
not listed here until now.

Due to requests, re-ordered and changed the
Domain Site Map,
replacing the URL text with each page's actual title. In case you prefer
the old version, which will no longer be maintained,
here is the only link to it. However, as of 05-15-2007, this
changeover process is not complete.
See the bottom of the page
(#480 or so, on) for what it will eventually all look like.

Vacation -- 8/07-12/2006, no computer or E-Mail access for 6 days. I
was in New York City. The highlight of the trip for me was the
Iridium Jazz Club and seeing Les Paul for the first time! 91 years old
and still playing two 1-1/2 hour sets every Monday night, year 'round,
simply AMAZING! Icing on the cake was one guest artist that night, also
seen for the first time in person,
Muriel Anderson! A few memorable
pictures of that night can be seen at,
Les Paul.

Now that I finally have a VMS editing account again, why will it
take awhile before I can resume installing updates to the Web site? I
did a double backup of all source files (aka web pages) in my old VMS
account. Neither of those backup copies have been changed since.
However, I have been using a UNIX text editor to manually edit pages live
on the Web site since the backup and my old account was deleted. Thus my
source files and what is on the Web site are now grossly out of sync. I
have to find every page changed on the Web site since 12-05-2005,
download each one to my new account, compare each one with its
original matching source file, and install the Web site changes in the
source files. There may be as many as 700 pages that have to
be re-synced like this, one by one, before I can resume normal editing and
installation of updated source files. I don't know how long this
will take, but it may be a month or more.
The Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC, pronounced "deck")
created the VMS Operating System that ran on thousands of its VAX,
MicroVAX and Alpha Servers and Workstations in the 1980's and 1990's.
As Digital was bought out by Compaq, which in turn was bought out
by HP, VMS was phased out and replaced by Micro$oft Windows
at the corporate level, but it remains in continuing demand at the
user level.
My new account is at
http://eisner.decus.org/,
an entire Web site and organization devoted exclusively
to a large community of VMS users! In the 1980's, it started out as DECUS
(DEC User's Society), evolved into Encompass, but is now a
separate organization no longer with any direct corporate support. It
is fully supported by volunteers and donations. Associating myself with
an organization like this, it is unlikely that I will ever lose my VMS
editing account again.

All editing of this Web site stops today. Anybody out there know of an
Internet Provider who has OpenVMS login accounts? I would require one that
will agree to a multiple year contract not to shut down their Server. My
current provider decommissions and powers off their Server today, and I
can find no other company that has such accounts. I have also tried HP
in hopes of buying an Alpha WorkStation running OpenVMS, but they seem
to have stopped selling them. I will continue to pay my domain and hosting
bills as long as I live so the entire site stays just as it is today, but
it looks like it may be several months or years before this Web site can
be updated again.

New band listing questions I would like answered when you
request your band be added here.
The Oshkosh Symphony Orchestra now has a Web site of its own by a
different unidentified Webmaster. The pages maintained here "temporarily"
(actually for 4 years, 3-28-2001 - 6-24-2005), have been updated with
links to the new OSO Web site. As
Oshkosh Symphony Orchestra historical information
(available only at this site) is copied by the new Webmaster and installed
(complete with its current recording artist links) permanently on the new
site, it will be removed from this site. The only information that will
remain here permanently will be my
Oshkosh Symphony Orchestra Discography. After all information on
one of my OSO pages has been completely moved to the new Web site, that
page will remain here linking to the new permanent location of that
information.

Finally! A pre-book project in progress since
July 2002
is now complete. Every
Wisconsin Non-Folk Musician
has been moved to genre-specific pages.
I apologize if I have broken your links to specific artists at my
site, or will be breaking them sometime in the future. As explained in
my FAQ,
artist and group anchor tags are in the process of being "unique"ized, not
only for Wisconsin artists, but throughout all of my Folk Music pages.
Most artist/group anchor tags in all capital letters, like KINGST, GUARDD
and REYNN, will probably be changed in the next year or so, to tags like
KingstonT,
Guard,Dv or
Reynolds,Nk.
When I began creating this site
in January 1995
I could not foresee ever listing
over 12,000
artists and groups and that I should have used site-wide unique anchors
since the very beginning. If your link doesn't work, "Show HTML Source"
for the changed anchor tag, or
please write
and I will be glad to help you fix your link to me.

the move to a new server. Many, many thanks go to
Mark Martin
and John Bowman for their considerable computer expertise and assistance
with the transfer of the entire FolkLib Index from
westhost.com to
Transmutagen Web Hosting in less than six days. The last move from
ExecPC to WestHost took me almost a month.

I apologize for the fact that my entire site went off-line
sometime Friday night. For the first time since April 2000 when I
decided to leave ExecPC,
got my own domain and a new Web hosting firm to host it, I exceeded my
6 Gig Transfer Rate quota for the month. My Web host, westhost.com,
sent me a message on Saturday morning that my quota was at 90% and that I
needed to upgrade my account to a different one with a higher quota.
Unfortunately, they decided to hold off sending the 90% message until my
quota had reached 111%, after they had completely disabled my
Web site without warning on Friday night. A firm that really cared about
their customers would have automatically upgraded my account, notified me
of what they did, and told me that the deposit I had already paid would be
a for a shorter time. I wouldn't have minded it at all if they has done
this in the interest of keeping my Web site up. However, WestHost
decided it was better to hold my Web site for ransom until I paid them more
money. The previous transfer rate usage high since last September was 4.1
Gig, not even close to my 6 Gig quota. The entire problem was caused by a
single visitor, "email4.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com", which visited my site
46,270 times in February, 42,333 visits of which were to a single page,
"wi_bg_bands.shtml"!! WestHost could have considered this gross over
usage as only an aberration not my fault, and not punished me with a rate
increase due to just one visitor. But they decided to ignore this fact.
This was not the only time just since last September that they screwed me.
I am looking for a new Web hosting firm. ...
Effective 05-18-2004 I found a
new Web hosting firm and moved the FolkLib Index to their server.

As work has progressed on
the book,
over 400 names have been added to the
Wisconsin Session Players
page just since October 1st. As that page was 164 K in size with
1,080 names at the last update, its load time became too slow for

for letters A,B,C, and seven other similar pages for letters
D,E,F -

Notice: I will be moving to a new apartment during the month of June,
changing Internet access (I'm fed up with Roadrunner dropping my Telnet
and ssh login sessions), and I need to buy a new computer to replace my
3 year old
HP-9680C,
so I will probably be off-line most of the month and
won't be uploading any more site updates before at least July 6th. The
computer upgrade will include an operating system change. Getting my old
Windows 98 programs to function under whatever M$ OS is current may delay
the next upload. I have never used anything beyond Win98, even at work
before I retired, so there may be a steep learning curve involved also,
with additional delays. Stay tuned to this page.

Some site design tweaking was done thanks to the excellent book about
Web Usability, "Don't Make Me Think", by Steve Krug. 1) Clicking on
"FolkLib Index" in the page title on the home page will display the
site's logo as before. Clicking on "FolkLib Index" in every other page
title will now link you back to the home page. 2) In the home page
introductory text, made specific appropriate words or phrases into
immediately usable links. 3) Added a "General site rule" note to
the home page about bolded links going off-site. As noted in the
paragraph at the top of this page, this "What's New?" page is one
exception to that rule.
Deleted all CDnow biography, discography and ordering links at
"http://cdnow.com/", because they are all now re-directed to the
"amazon.com" home page, and I don't care to spend the time to search for
replacement URL's for my 397 now dead links to CDnow.

Yippee! I have my own domain, after almost five years with ExecPC.com
(11-25-1995). I asked them, and they replied that they had no plans of
supporting Server Side Includes (SSI) in the foreseeable future. As I had
been using SSI to create scores of pages at work, I wanted that same
modular functionality on my personal pages also. So I had to find someone
else to host my domain. Stay tuned here for announcements about the move
to my domain.

wishing you all a Y2K bug-free New Year;

Added only the PICS/RSACi Rating META code and their required rating
graphic (the only graphic in the entire Index) to the
Home Page. There are some Parental Control
programs that are beginning to check for this rating code. Unfortunately,
the programs are assuming that sites without the code are "unknown" to be
smut free, so access to perfectly innocent unrated sites will be blocked
by these programs. It is a good idea, in theory, however I don't
especially care for their "guilty until proven innocent" attitude. Also,
if you are using Lynx or some other browser which doesn't understand
JavaScript, don't even try to register your site, because you can't.

Oops! I had to re-rename all the "name=" tags and all the links to
them that I did last week because I didn't test any of them to see if they
would work with Lynx ... they didn't. I discovered that Lynx strips off
any embedded blanks in a URL before it looks for the link. So all links
like, for example, "wisconsin.shtml#Stevenson, Patty" have been
changed to "wisconsin.shtml#Stevenson,Pt". The same fix was done to
all "wi/wi_bg_bands.shtml#*" and "discog/wi_discog.shtml#*" similar tags and
links. My apologies to all visitors to my pages using Lynx last week for
all the broken links.
- .05-31-1998
-
Added
Mid-West Bluegrass Organizations;
Decided to rename all "name=" tags for Folk Musicians in
"wisconsin.shtml" from a shortened form to the artist's full name, the same
format as used in the Wisconsin Discographies and Bluegrass Bands pages,
eg. "wisconsin.shtml#STEVP" is now "wisconsin.shtml#Stevenson, Patty".
I have no plans on making this change to the Non-Folk Musicians on this
page or to other artists on any other pages. In case anyone cares to
know, for the next several weeks, I will continue to spend the majority of
my time on the
Wisconsin Discographies and
Bluegrass Bands pages. Installation
of requested additions/corrections to other pages may be delayed for
awhile.

PLEASE NOTE: There will be no further Index updates installed

Fully converted henkle.shtml
to HTML. My apologies to Lynx readers for the Tables format created with
(Yuck!) MS FrontPage. Tables was the only way I could add links to all
the discographies I have written, and still be able to update the page
easily with my text editor. It took a great deal of work to delete all
the invalid, non-standard garbage HTML code added by FrontPage that I
could, unfortunately, it was still impossible to create clean, error-free
HTML 3.2 code with either FrontPage or Claris HomePage, which we used to
create our new
Department Home Pages.
Therefore, I had to delete the
Best Viewed With Any Browser link from this page, the only
one without it in the entire Index ... bummer! See the new
henkle_text.shtml
for a non-Tables Lynx readable version of this page.

Deleted all of Hidden Water's FolkLink links to

Hidden Water has also deleted the entire Folk Venue Database
which contained invaluable detailed information about over 4,000 venues in
the U.S. and Canada, "http://www.hidwater.com/folkvenue/". My top
priority at this time is to get

will stay broken for possibly several weeks;

Deleted the following obsolete record label pages which I no longer
have time to update: elektra.html, mammoth.html, mesa.html,
rainy_day.html, schoolkids.html, and sony.html (all links to these pages
were deleted in January);
And just in case you haven't noticed yet, this site has a new name.
Stephen Spencer's "FolkBook" is now permanently off-line. The entire
weekend was spent revising every page in the Index. Much more conversion
needs to be done. For help with your now broken FolkBook links, see the
updated "index_general.html" page which has been renamed to the
FolkBook to folkmusic.org Conversion Page.

Deleted all "ymmdd_updates.html" pages and all links to them, due to
the fact that webcrawler programs have ignored the NOINDEX/NOFOLLOW Meta
tags I installed in them all several months ago. These pages were linked
to only from this page, and they contained a list of the pages updated in
one individual week. No new pages like this have been installed since
August 1996, so the information they contain is obsolete to almost
everyone. If you really need to know exactly what pages were updated for
any given week since 11-25-1995,
please write
explaining why you need them, and I will be glad to send you, via E-Mail,
whichever weekly file(s) you need.

My UW Oshkosh address is still the same, but I changed my E-Mail
address on all 223 of my Index and UW Oshkosh pages to "henkle@pobox.com"
in an attempt to cut down on the growing volume of junk mail I get due to
visits from mass marketer's Web crawlers.

address "mailto:" link is changed on a page, the "last updated" date will

everything here readable by every browser in existence. There are no
frames, tables, java or JavaScript, cgi-bin scripts, non-alphanumeric or
non-standard punctuation characters (tilde, umlaut, etc., except for
"© " copyright symbol and " " blank space which cause no problem
for Lynx), and no counters, graphics or sounds at this site to slow down
your finding the link to the information you came here looking for. When
I discovered the

other recording artists I can find who play the harp, but for whom I can
find no on-line resource.
- .03-31-1996

There will be no other updates submitted until after April 15th, i.e.
Sunday night the 21st. The IRS calls.
Added
artist_index_files.shtml, a list of all the artist files created
for this Index. Started creating artist index files for other artists for
whom I have created
discographies:
Robbie Basho,
David Cullen.
If you would like an
artist index file for yourself, or for your favorite
artist, please create it and submit it. See
help for instructions.
Added a link for every Index artist with a page
in the
Country Connection (CC)
Artist Archive; deleted all graphics from all
pages to speed up page loading;

Added a new
itin2eraries.shtml "Missing Itineraries" page explaining why all

No updates last weekend due to illness. Added all birth/death
dates for artists U-Z from the
1996 Bluegrass Calendar, many links for Dirty Linen and Musi-Cal
itineraries, everything I have for indexu-z.shtml, etc. In case you
noticed a speedup in page loading recently, that may be due to ExecPC's
upgrade from a T1 to a T3 line on 2-02-1996.

Added every "name=" tag in
link_tags.html to the
"Types of files" included section of the Home Page ...
[11-22-1998: I decided this was no longer necessary, and I do not want
other sites installing confusing links to the middle of the Home Page, so
I deleted them all.];
Added many links on this page to other pages;
Added links for every
songs.com and
Soundhole artist Home Page stored at those sites.

Finally finished keying in everything I have about
Booking Agents;
Added a link for every FolkLib Index artist with a page in

other updates far too numerous to list anywhere in detail:
primarily new lists of
home pages, and
harp and
guitar
links, and everything I have for indexa-f.shtml, i.e. indexg-z.shtml still
have literally hundreds of updates not keyed in yet, and only a few more
of the artist's files started 01-01-1996.

Moved all the Lists of Home Pages links on the Home Page to a new

Updated the copyright date, and added the actual filename to the bottom of
every page [at least that was my plan, but I only got under half done (all
index files, only A-B artist's files), to be continued]. Started adding
dual mirror links (UK and US) in
artist index files and the
Film Index for those with film credits
at Cardiff.
- .12-10-1995

New: Weekly Access Statistics,
stats.html
Started adding a "DOCTYPE HTML 2.0" comment to the top of every file
because some HTML verification sites flag an error if DOCTYPE is missing.
The "last updated" date will not be changed if nothing else in the file
has changed.
Started changing notes like "(FB) FB)" to "(FB/2)" meaning 2
different home pages are listed for this artist at this site.

The initial installation of the FolkLib Index includes:

Fingerstyle Acoustic Guitarists,
Windham Hill and
Wisconsin artists,
and a few others, for a total of 77
artist index files.
More will be added as time permits.
2) All known on-line
Record Labels
which feature acoustic music.
3) Information for over 800 other artists/groups who have no
separate artist index file ... yet. Volunteers are needed to
help create them.
4) Many special index files:
Festivals,
Films,
Itineraries/Venues,
Folk Music Periodicals and
Societies.
5) Links to every
FolkBook discography file.

- Converted
David Wilcox
discography to HTML.
- .01-22-1995
- Updated discographies for
William Ackerman,
Robbie Basho,
Greg Brown, and
Adrian Legg.
Stopped until further notice all work creating and updating discographies
and started creating the Index.
11-25-1995: And, for those who have nothing better to read, or
correspondents who wish to know, in detail, what I have been doing since
1-23-1995 instead of writing
discographies, here is one more candidate for Yahoo's
Useless Pages ... my pre-installation notes.
[1-18-1998 note: in order to free up disk space for currently useful
information, I have deleted my pre-installation notes page.
If you are really curious how this Index evolved between 1-23-1995 and
11-25-1995, write to me
and I will send you a copy.]
