Thread Name: Bawdy music :-)
Subject: RE: Bawdy music :-)

When Kenny Goldstein died, he was working on a book about bawdy ballads with Edith Fowke. She also died before it could be finished, but I think it is out now. It was to be entitled Bawdy Ballads and Dirty Ditties from Ontario and Newfoundland, and was coming out from Wilfrid Laurier University Press. I haven't actually seen a copy, but when I last to spoke to Kenny's widow all was on target for a September 2001 release date. It should have a lot of great material from field recordings made by Kenny and Edith in long careers as collectors; it might take some work to get them into "wench" period though....
