Sorry Vic, I was responding to this "The simplest answer to your question, Brian, is that one of the ways these ballads were disseminated over large distances is that the pedlars who travelled great distances always carried a stock of broadsides and songsters with the rest of their wares." I thought you were "I put double quotation marks instead of single and STILL they end up as question marks!" Sue, Bit cumbersome, but I've resorted to previewing it, replacing the question marks and then posting I usually manage to miss a few but a bit better than appearing to permanently question your own statements Jim Carroll
