Subject: RE: What's so special about F. J. Child?

I don't have anything new on the ballads IanC mentioned above.

Don Firth, I was at UW in 1958 (and I think Sandy Patone was around, too) but I never heard of Prof. David Fowler until later. But at that time my knowledge of folk songs didn't go much beyond Burl Ives and Ivar Hagland.
