It's here! The second volume of British Ballads from Maine, missing for 80 years has been found and published by the University of Maine. This is a volume of additional Child ballads and broadsides collected in the 1920's. Pauleena MacDougall, director of the Maine Folklife Center in Orono was researching one of the collectors, Fannie Hardy Eckstorm, and found the missing manuscript. Fred Gosbee, my partner helped edit, transcribe and record the melodies and the book includes a CD of tunes.
