thanks, Anglo! I am only just beginning in folk music and learning about Child's ballads...can anyone tell me how the tunes themselves were recorded, so groups (like Pentangle) or individuals in modern times know how to sing them? I know Child printed different versions of the same ballad, but he didn't put sheet music in there, did he? So I wonder how it is I hear the ballad of the Two Sisters done by different people with so many different melodies.
