Hello, all

I've recently become enamored with traditional songs, especially the Child ballads. I have about 1/3 of the 305 listed groups in my record collection, and would love to find as many as possible. My question is: where do I look for information on which singers performed the songs?

I've tried our wonderful DT, with great success for the lyrics, but not so much luck with performers. There's a link at http://milton.mse.jhu.edu:8001/research/folkindex/ which has also been quite helpful. However, I have more artists in my collection singing (for example) Willy o' Winsbury than they do.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. I'll also share the information I have.

Thanks!

Claire K.
