GUEST,stagemanager_x	Collective Noun for ballads (70* d)	Collective Noun for ballads	13 Nov 07
After listening to Norman Kennedy sing and talk at MIT last night, a couple of us were discussing ballads. The recent "Ballad Blast" at NOMAD came up and I found the term a little unsatisfying: maybe a blast of sea chanteys, but a blast of ballads?! We quickly moved from event names to collective nouns, and came up with: a quarrel of ballads a length of ballads a sitting of ballads ...but I know there's better. So who out there has a good collective noun for ballads?
