I've been wondering

• I have some nice old books, some of them passed down from my grandparents. Now and then, I'll come across a volume with uncut pages. What's the best way to cut the uncut pages of a good book? (The point of a book is to be read; it's wrong to leave them sitting forever on a shelf)
• I'm really enjoying some of the piano work of James Booker, especially "Papa Was a Rascal". What is this stuff called? Where do I find more music like his? This is a classic task for a recommender system, but when I've tried I seem to wander aimless paths through jazz or R&B. (All paths ultimately lead to Barry Manilow or Britney Spears, but that's another story)
• I'm also enjoying a collection of fiddle tunes in the Dudley Street style. Is that Dudley Street in Boston, the far end of the #1 bus? If so, where do you go in Boston/Cambridge to hear it played? And while we're on the subject, is Money In Advance really a strathspey, and does it have lyrics? (Update: it's a clog tune.)
