Thanks You Very Much Arthur!
It is great to have this in PDF format.
I am originally from North Carolina and I sing a lot of these ballads
and songs. I have been studying English and Scottish Popular ("Child")
Ballads since 1978 and have recorded some of them on my CDs.
Another of my artists on my label, Laura Berlage is also very interested in
these, and we have recorded several on her CDs as well. We are currently
working on a version of the "Half Hitch".
Given that we aren't book "collectors" - we just want the information for
research -
and that volumes like this are often priced beyond the means of normal
musicians,
this is very welcome.
Thanks again!
