I may finally actually join iTunes now. It was hearing Chavannee on a BBC Radio 2 program "Folkweave" that first really alerted me to the HG (would be early 70's) and, in particular, the Bois de Vaux tune which captivated me (I have learned most of it, honest). I taped the program on cassette - poor quality of course - and it was years after that I joined this group in an attempt to identify the tune (you did, of course). Ah, memories. :-)

For example, searching "Patrick Bouffard" brings up a list of tunes from Joue Jenzat...click on one of those and you get to the album. To get to Rabaterie and Revenant de Paris search on "Trio Patrick Bouffard". And Tour a Tour doesn't seem to come up under Patrick at all, but you can get there by searching for Gilles Chabenat. Clunky interface or not, I'm thrilled to see this stuff available commercially. The iTunes site is http://www.apple.com/itunes/. As I mentioned, I'll try to get a "one-stop shopping" French trad recordings page together on my website, frenchtradmusic.com, in the next 2-3weeks. (I used to have an AMTA page there, but those links are defunct.) Mitch [email protected] writes: That is quite a collection! Is there a (relatively) easy way to search for this goldmine, or did you just check up on the artists familiar to you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hurdygurdy" group.
