'traditional song will be around for a long time to come - in books and on recordings. From a purely selfish point of view, it would be good if it were still being sung at clubs and concerts; but whether it will be passed on in any worthwhile form in live performance to future generations will depend greatly on it being performed well.'

I wish the melody lines/chords/lyrics to these songs were more easily available on the web for those like me who want to learn them but can't find the music. Traditional folk songs have not been part of my upbringing.

Does anyone know of a site or even a current book where they can be found?

I can't work out chords from a recording yet, nor know the melody line from the lyrics. For these treasures to be passed on, I wish they were more quickly accessible.
