Actually, I installed a link to the Max Hunter collection a few months ago--go the the links page of the Mudcat, look under the "M"s for "Max Hunter Folk Song Collection" and click from there. Or just get rid of the "SongTitle.html" portion of the above link, and you'll come in at a better window that'll give you a better idea of the scope of the collection.

The collection is searchable by song title, by source (the singer of the song), and by catalogue number. What's available is not just songs beginning with the letters A through E. There are almost 1600 songs in the collection, which are being digitized by catalogue number. As of last week (first week of July 2000), they were up to number 470 out of 1594.

And you're right--this is an incredible resource!
