Hi John,
What a wonderful resource! Many thanks for this.
I am in accord with much of your philosophy and when I get time I will certainly have a much more detailed browse.

Loved your work on the Belle-isle ballad. By all means please let me know when you add anything regarding any printed material from before roughly 1820. Steve and I are still working on pulling together as many earliest appearances of songs as possible.

I'm also very interested in anything new or definitive that turns up on those pieces that came from Ulster over to England quite early on, Streams of Lovely Nancy, Molly Whan, Willie Leonard, Fanny Blair, etc.
