Audacity is a free, open source, cross-platform software program for recording and editing sounds. You open your mp3 file, copy and paste the wave portion after itself as many times as you want. It allows many functions like changing the pitch or its speed, etc. Then export it as a new long playing mp3 file. Our CollectionDeborah Jefferson and Dave Lucas have been compiling a list of the recordings that folks have given the Association in the last few years. They include 78’s, 45’s, albums and cassettes. There are over 1,000 items. As yet, we have not figured out how to make them available for lending. If you have any experience in such matters, we would love to hear from you at cotsdca@hotmail.com . Here is the list of recordings. *** VIDEO CASSETTE:($15 plus mailing and handling)Of an annual fall or spring dance with 18 different callers and couple dances. *** BOOK OF CALLS:
