187)   BALALOO, LAMMY  From Alfred Moffat's Fifty Traditional Scottish Nursery Rhymes (1933), where it is called Now balaloo, lammy; midi made from notation in that book.

2963)   ROBIN REDBRIEST'S TESTAMENT  The DT file contains seven variants, several from Greig-Duncan, and will need to be re-visited later. For now, I have just the one tune, from Alfred Moffat's Fifty Traditional Scottish Nursery Rhymes (1933), where it is called Guid-day now, bonnie Robin, lad; midi made from notation in that book. Moffat's set is essentially a much-shortened form of example (1) , with chorus as specified in the file.

We could certainly use help with a lot of the modern American material in the DT, some of which is very obscure indeed from my point of view; there's quite a lot of parodies lurking about in there as well. MMario will send you a list if you give him contact details; don't forget always to specify your source (not all Filkers seem to be very conscientious about that). Welcome to the struggle...

How does one get a hold of the missing tunes list? I'd like to take a swing at the list...who knows what tunes are lurking around my large collection of filk tapes and CD's. Either as parodies or as straight covers...

926)   DOWN IN YON FORREST  This text was quoted from John Jacob Niles, who copyrighted it in 1935, apparently, though he made no claim to have written it. I don't have the relevant book, so I don't know who he said he had collected it from, though it seems that he got it in North Carolina; however, an almost identical text, with tune, was published in the Journal of the English Folk Dance and Song Society, vol.4, number 3, 1942. It had been noted in 1936 by Ralph Vaughan Williams from the singing of the folklorist Evelyn Wells, who learned it from Amos Curtis of Brasstown, North Carolina. Midi made from RVW's notation. There are a few minor textual differences; none greater than might be expected and not worth noting here (assuming the DT file to be a correct quote from Niles). Perhaps at some point in the future somebody who has the Niles music can compare the two; I expect them to be pretty much the same.

The filename is wrong in the link; it should be WYOMHOM.mid, not WYOMHOME.mid. This link should work: My Sweet Wyoming Home (midi)

MMario, I have tried twice to play the MIDI for My Sweet Wyoming Home in the DT and got a message that the URL is incorrect or words to that effect. I.e., there's no tune to be played in the DT file.

with Malcolm's latest additions we are (I think, tentitivly, if I have counted anywhere accurately) at about 1890 tunes to go.

previous thread part Eight.

this thread is to help keep track of those tunes missing from the October 1999 Digital Tradition, which have been "found and posted" etc.

List of those tunes still missing; lists of those tunes found; and midi or NWC files of many of the "found tunes" can be obtained through me.
