Are you interested only in those by singers of the last 50 years, or in those of the last three centuries as well? |

I am only interested in artists that have made a recording of this song or some version of it, and that I have a reasonable chance of finding Thanks |

28 Mar 04 - 11:42 AM (#1148245) Subject: RE: Tune Req: versions of 'Froggy Goes a Courtin' From: Joe_F _Rise Up Singing_, under "Froggie Went a-Courtin'", lists recordings by Mike & Peggy Seeger, Pete Seeger, Sparky Rucker, B. Hinkley & J. Larson, and Spider John Koerner (in addition to Watson and McCutcheon, whom you mention). Under "Here's to Cheshire, Here's to Cheese", it lists Tom Smith (in addition to McCutcheon); I also have that version on one of Pete Seeger's LPs, but I can't find it at the moment. Perhaps a list of singers who have *not* recorded it would be shorter. %^) |
