Thread Name: Songs of the Newfoundland Outports-Peacock
Subject: RE: Songs of the Newfoundland Outports-Peacock
I think I've spent about $120 on Kenneth Peacock, and I have little to show for it. The computerized edition of Peacock was wonderful, and even had field recordings included, but it stopped working when I converted my computer to Window 10. I spent hours exploring workarounds, but never came up with a solution.
I bought a paperback edition of the 3-volume Peacock work but the binding has deteriorated and I lose pages every time I open a book. Most of the songs collected by Peacock are now available on GEST, so that's a saving grace. I would like to be able to find the Peacock field recordings that were part of the CD-ROM I purchased, though.
