Sandy Paton Help: Melodies to Broadside Ballads (38) RE: Help: Melodies to Broadside Ballads 20 Jun 01

Breonson's melodies are printed together with the texts with which they came from his sources, either printed or recorded. That's what delighted me when I got the first volume back in 1960. I was afraid that I was going to find a lot of tunes with references to various texts from hither and yon, but, no, Bronson (and Princeton) went whole hog and gave us both complete texts and tunes!

But this thread is supposed to be about broadside ballads, isn't it?

Sandy
