This year I've learned virtually *all* my folk songs from virtual internet resources.

I like to compare different versions from YouTube til I choose the version I like best, and then I 'borrow' my own interpretation from there.

On top of the classic revival recordings to be found, there is an even greater plethora of amateur versions spawned from same! I love these to learn from!

There's even one chap who posts a whole list of Child Ballads..

Virtual Oral Tradition, or not?
