earned up with Hockey and SperbergdcQueen
in launching the Text Enoding
Initiative, an international efort
that developed a markup scheme
snabling scholars to exchange data

"Everybody's using different hardvare

said. We ought to be able to find

Chesnutt said. "I want these

and the way to do that is to use

tiarmonica, mandolin, and various
other whistles and bells, is a mainstay
in the Charleston area. The band
is a regular at King Street Station,
and it also frequently plays unplugged
3hows at the Horse and Cart.
Jump Little Children, in its present
form, is still a relatively young
band, having formed only a year ago.
The band members themselves, however,
go farther back, as all of them

"In a printed edition, you have an i
index, which means you can quickly
get the information you're looking for,"
Chesnutt said. "The index is the tool
to gain intellectual access. The first i

Now that all five of them have come
together, the band retains some of the
Irish folk influence but also has expanded

Another problem exists in that it
will be "like going into a library with
no card catalog," Chesnutt said, adding
that this is an inherent problem with
the Internet.
Despite these obstacles, Chesnutt
is hoping the project will be the first
step toward a nationwide pool of historical
resources.
'If it works as we hope it will work,
it will lay the foundation for a national
database of historical editions," Chesnutt
said. "That's our ultimate goal,
and we really do want to put history
on the highway."

party up there," said Bivens. "We
try to be positive so that the audience
has a good time, too."
The band recently returned from
recording some new material in
Nashville at the Polygram Music Publishing
studios, and hope to have a
CD out by late March. So if you'd like
to hear some of the best acoustic music
in these parts and have a rollicking
good time in the process, come on

will start between 10:30 and 11, and
