Subject: RE: Tune Add: Missing tunes WANTED: Part SEVEN
Worth mentioning that a good few DT files that appear to have tunes, either have tunes that don't belong with the texts given, or are linked to tunes that belong to other files and just happen to share a title.  An example that I've just come across is  REYNARDINE 2;  this is the set recorded by Roberts and Barrand, which they got (all but the last verse) from Stephen Sedley's "mix-and-match" collation from lots of different sources (The Seeds of Love, 1967).  The tune came from Henry Hills (c. 1831-1901), of Lodsworth, near Petworth in Sussex, and was noted by W. Percy Merrick c.1900; it was first published in the Journal of the Folk Song Society (vol. I, number 3, 1904).  The tune linked to from the DT file is a completely different, American one, which belongs only to  REYNARDINE  as recorded by Joe Hickerson.  I've put a link to a midi of the correct tune in the  Reynardine: Info?  thread.
