Bob Coltman has written a number of updates to Child ballads, which he calls Son of Child, and has produced a CD of some of them. He has also written more of tham that did not fit onto the CD. He said if I would post the ones I have from the CD, he will gradually post some of the others. So here are the ones I have, from the Son of Child CD, which will appear in upcoming versions of the Digital Tradition.
Note from Joe Offer, 23 October 2013: Bob sent me 26 of his songs for posting. Some are on the "Son of Child" CD, but many are not available on recordings. I hope you enjoy them. I'll put the Child songs on this Son of Child thread, even if they aren't on the Son of Child CD. If they aren't Child and they aren't on the Lonesome Robin CD or the Before They Close the Minstrel Show CD, I'll post them in the thread titled Songs of Bob Coltman. I think you'll find some new gems you haven't heard before.
Thanks a lot, Bob.
