Subject: RE: Forgotten Old Chestnuts
Jerry,

I am pretty sure that I still do a lot of the truly traditional stuff that I learned in the 60s. But looking through my songbook I realized that I can't remember my sources for lots of the material. I am not even sure what decade I learned the oldest songs in my repertoire in.

"Traditional" stuff I think I remember doing in the 60s (I still do these pretty reguarly)
no particular order
Mary don't you weep
Water is wide
Banks of the Ohio
Geordie
Old gospel ship
Handsome Molly
Irene Goodnight
Lady Mary
Lady from Carlisle
Freight Train
I do Tom Dooley but not Kingston Trio version
I do several different Matty Groves but not Joan's version

Still do a little of the Singer/songwriter stuff from that era
Last thing on my mind
Where I'm bound
4 Rode By
Early Morning Rain

Not sure these are the sorts of things you had in min.
