Thank you for the details. They will help greatly when it's time to create the thread. It seems each site is a bit different, so I'm always fearful of doing something wrong. I can say this: Since discovering The Mudcat Cafe, my desire to pick up the bowed psaltery again has grown. Since I haven't been able to go to an event for a couple of years due to illness, I haven't played much and feared that I might have forgotten many of the melodies I knew. But, with my curiosity engaged now, I've been collecting new songs to try; this place certainly has helped me launch searches.

I shall be thrilled if I can bring a "new" song to everyone's attention as we solve the mystery that is "Fiollegean". I wish there was someway for it to be heard since that might bring recognition. It might be known by an entirely different name.

I still haven't found out about the first half of Daddy Claude's version of "Davy Crockett". Where on Earth DO those opening stanzas come from?! Well, that's what this site is all about, right? I wasn't certain if I should start a thread among the DC ones for my granddaddy's version. The last half obviously is inspired by "Pompey Smash" (I think it is), but the opening... I'm purely puzzled by that.

All of you have encouraged me to put on my garb and go to the next event, where I certainly plan to play a lot of songs. Thanks for the inspiration! I'll tell 'em Mudcat sent me! *giggle*
