Next semester, I'll be starting research on my Master's thesis, which is going to be about murder ballads, including their history, and my experiences singing them for a modern audience.

This is where I'd value your input. I'm thinking of putting together a short survey, either sometime this summer or in the fall, just to ask other performers & music people about their experiences with murder ballads. If any of you are interested, please send me a PM.

Many, many thanks. :-)
