Thread Name: Living Singers of Traditional Ballads - N. America
Subject: RE: Living Singers of Traditional Ballads
This is a great start!   Thanks everyone for jumping right in there. We have a good list going. Some old friends and some new folks (to me) are already showing up. This is intended to be a broad category. I'm looking for people who like to sing these ballads.

Bob Deckman, I don't have any agenda for where this goes at this point. I just think that it is important to gather up this information and share it, especially among those who love this music.

Charlie Baum, others may know about you and your community of singers but I don't. Can you say more about this?

My good friend, Bobby McMillon, lives down in North Carolina, rather than in Elkins, W.Va. He does do workshops at Elkins and was there again this past summer.

T.O.M.
