Well, it looked like 'Berta, but she walked too slow. Hi Cyparissa! Welcome; especially great to hear you're doing ballads. The amazing David Kleiman has published a magnificent digital edition of the Child Ballads with notes, maps, glossary, search index, tunes, the works - check out the site at http://www.heritagemuse.com/.

The actual thing costs money, just as cds and books tend to (and the mac version isn't out yet - rrrr), but it and David are great resources to know about anyway (he's a great friend and mentor), and the site has a terrific links page that will guide you to many other good ballad resources.

Best,
Ken in NY
