This is getting good! Never let it be said again that folks songs are a competition to see who can kill the most people!

Now all I need to do is research the ones I don't know at all, and start learning! Actually, I'm surprised at how many on this list I either already do or at least sort of know and so could probably get up without too much difficulty (just a bit of time and diligence).

Maybe there's a thought for a lawful use of Kazaalite. Everyone interested creates a "cheerful folk song" folder, and puts a simple version of relevant songs (performed by the creator of the folder, of course) in said folder. Would have to be limited to non-copyright arrangements of non-copyright songs. Then permit Kazaa access to that folder only. What a splendid learning resource.
