I'm astonished that anyone could find the Bronson books disappointing, Leeneia. I paid a pile of money for mine a few years ago, and never regretted a penny of it (and don't forget Camsco has since republished them at a reasonable price). The best resource going for anyone interested in singing traditional ballads, surely. Nothing to say we can't make up our own tunes where none is available, but why bother when there are so many fabulous ones in those books? I'll get the Lady Elspat tune recorded tomorrow, Pamela!
