Fiddlegrrl I've been looking for that for SO long! (70* d) RE: I've been looking for that for SO long! 24 Mar 03


British trad music is still relatively new to me, so "SO long" isn't quite right, but here are the two things that I wish would spontaneously manifest in my little hands:

+ the 8 records of A.L. Lloyd and Ewan McColl singing the Child Ballads, as previously mentioned by Uncle_DaveO

+ Bertrand Bronson's Child Ballads songbooks, either the four volume version or even the single volume version.

Like I said, I'm all new to this, so I'm really quite clueless about how much this stuff costs or how easy (or not!) it is to get. I got a little dose of reality when I spied a set of the four Bertrand Bronson volumes on abe.com for $2250!! Shriek!

Still, I wish there was some way. The New York Public Library has a copy, but they frown on photocopying and I don't know how hard it would be to get them to give it up for an afternoon. I wouldn't be surprised if it was "special collection"ed.

*grump*

xo,
E. Bess
