Subject: RE: Ballad Singing – a living tradition?
The Old Songs Guerilla Ballad Sessions have been going on for at least a half-dozen years. I remember hearing Margaret MacArthur singing "Fair Malabeem" at one of them. I'm usually one of the regulars there.

--Charlie Baum, who is one of the many ballad singers of the Washington, DC area, and who lives in a neighborhood of Silver Spring, Maryland, where ballads are still sung socially!
