Re: Lyrics Finder

I finally got around to installing this app and it is absolutely super!

My wife (singer) and I (piano and tenor banjo) perform together specializing in traditional jazz, cabaret, and classic American Songbook standards from 1920 to 1960. It's an unusual and really specialized niche that most lyric programs cannot handle at all.

I tested the program on some fairly obscure pieces and it came through on 4 out of 5 songs that no one but us has heard of for decades. It even gave me a choice of lyric variations from movie musicals and a long list of singers from long bygone days. Amazing database. And an outstanding resource for the few times our memories or our fakebook collections fail us.

It would be convenient to be able to control the cache location and entries. But other than that, I've got no complaints or suggestions whatsoever. Excellent work!
