Over here in the U.S., about one year ago I taught a series of five classes titled: "American History as Found in Folk Songs." I picked five themes for the classes: the Western developement, Heroes and Hardcases, the Love ballads, the murder ballads, and I drew from my archives for the last class where I played music and presented the histories of 28 different (legendary) folk musicians. It was a popular class. Bob(deckman)Nelson
