Thread Name: Mass Observation of Children's song
Subject: RE: Mass Observation
The mass observations I referred to were for Britain, but I'd certainly be interested in looking much wider. The Opie study for 'The Singing Game' seems to cover about 30 UK schools, so ideally we would need to be looking at a few hundred world-wide to get anything remotely comparable. But if that's not possible, I think it would still be interesting even if we could only match the original thirty.
