Hi,
I've put the 305 Child Balladson my site:
http://bluegrassmessengers.com/the-305-child-ballads.aspx
I have Child's entire work on mow, not proofed.
Each ballad is/will be presented with additional versions from the original sources (when possible) and there will be:
1) Child's Narrative
2) Footnotes (more properly added at the end)
3) Kittredge's Brief, a short summary of each ballad from Kittredge,
4) Corrections and Additions for each ballad,
5) End-notes, the corrections of ballad text
6) Additional ballad texts (from Corrections and Additions)
7) Articles about the ballads from other sources
Attached Pages:
Recordings & Information (with Roud Index; and articles)
Sheet music (Bronson editions)
US & Canadian versions (with additional ballads not found by Child)
English & Other Versions (with additional ballads not found by Child)
I've done some of the research on Mudcat, special thanks to all who have contributed.
This is a work in progress- suggestions and corrections are appreciated. I realized it's a bit difficult to naviagate due to the operating system. I can use links to imptrove that.
Comments? It's taken me almost a year so far- lots of pages and a start!
