Hi, A couple of weeks ago I started adding a list of collectors and their publications to my website. Here's the list so far: Francis James Child (1825-1896) William Wells Newell (1839-1907) George Lyman Kittredge (1860-1941) Henry Marvin Belden (1865-1954) John A. Lomax (1867-1948) Louise Pound (1872–1958) E. C. Perrow (1880-1968) Howard Washington Odum (1884-1954) Cecil Sharp (1859-1924) Dorothy Scarborough (1878- 1935) Phillips Barry (1880-1937) Bascom Lamar Lunsford (1882-1973) Josiah H. Combs (1886-1960) Mellinger E. Henry (1873-1946) Vance Randolph (1892-1980) John Jacob Niles (1892- 1980) Maurice Matteson (1893-1964) Alan Lomax (1915-2002) Frank Warner and Anne Warner Here's a link to the page: http://bluegrassmessengers.com.temp.realssl.com/song-collectors-ballad-baggers-and-such.aspx Tonight put on three articles by Phillips Barry: http://bluegrassmessengers.com.temp.realssl.com/traditional-ballads-in-new-england--i.aspx That's the first- I think I have about 30 articles by Barry now- some are not finished (edited with music added. I want suggestions of other US collectors that should be added. Also important articles that are missing. I plan on putting the Child ballads/books on here at a later date. Any suggestions, TY Richie BTW my grandfather, Maurice Matteson, is on the list just because he's my grandfather- he wasn't a major collector.
