Thread Name: Peter Kennedy FSOB&I recordings
Subject: RE: Peter Kennedy FSOB&I recordings
Thanks very much to allfor the information and links. I've only had a chance so far to briefly go over them, but there seem to be two answers to the basic question.

First, Topic is going to release a continuation of their Voice of the People series which will include (or consist of?)the PK recordings. I couldn't find mention of it on the Topic web site, but will check back later.

Second, some of the FTRAX CDs are available from CAMSCO. I appreciate Dick Greenhaus compiling that list, and I'll probably be ordering some of these at some point, once I figure out what I want.

Which brings me to another question, to which the answer is probably no, but I'll ask it anyhow: is there any easy way to map the songs from FSOB&I to what is on individual CDs? I'm more interested in some traditions than others. In theory one could use the search functions on the CAMSCO and Topic sites to look for individual tracks, but that seems a rather daunting method, especially when one considers that there may be Celtic languages involved, and that the assumption that the track titles are going to be identical with the titles in the book may not be a completely valid one. Does anyone have even a general sense of what parts of FSOB&I are likely to be found on which CDs?
