literature on Old Believers

[Margaret McKibben]

I located a Russian version of the book in question and forwarded the info
to Shannon off-list.  Shannon's immediate goal is to learn to read the
"kriuki" notation the Alaskan Old Bellevers use for their liturgical
music.

 I also recommended he talk to Nicholas Schidlovsky (all I know of
his current whereabouts is "Princeton") as he has researched Old Believer
liturgical music in America.

I'm sure Shannon would appreciate any further advice on books or people.
Might there be someone knowledgable at Jordanville?
