I got this email this morning, and I thought I'd post it. I don't know of any Watersons songbooks, but it would be interesting to have something to help understand their singing style and harmony. Any thoughts? -Joe- Hello Joe, I didn't know anything about mudcat.org until the folks at CDSS recommended you as the goto listserv for my question. I'm wondering if there are any published songbooks that would especially feature the melodies and (more importantly, at least, to me...) the HARMONIES of songs done by the Watersons from England. And if I must become a member before asking my question, I certainly understand...I've heard of listserves but have never joined one as I am a Luddite at heart (!) even as I try to see some of the upsides of this tech thing...I just still prefer talking with my fellow sojourners either over the back-yard fence or, if I must...on the phone. But if you had any advice, tips, or help for my question, I'd be most grateful and appreciative, even for this glittering, alien, screened presence (translation: e-mail) that I have learned to use and accept now and then, despite myself. Best always, Gretchen
