Great suggestions, folks! I'm headed to the library now to try to find some of those references, Tom and Naemanson. And Shakespeare should be a gold mine, Leeneia. I wasn't aware that the tunes to those songs were lost. I do have copies of "It was a Lover and his Lass" and "How Should I Your True Love Know?" I'll have to add them to my bag. And you're right when you say that so many of those songs are rather morbid. It's a little tricky trying to balance them with some brighter songs. I'll likely add "Barbera Allen" too, even though it's a little late for our site. And Bruce, is the tune to "The Wedding of the Frog and Mouse" similar to "Froggy Would a Wooing Go"? Thanks again, folks. Keep em coming! Timehiker
