Thread Name: Gardner and Chickering - Recordings?
Subject: Tune Req: Gardner and Chickering - Recordings?
Dear All,

I was recently made aware of the Gardner and Chickering book on folk songs; I wondered if any of these textual entries had field-recorded audio counterparts.
The book was published in 1939, so I think it seems feasible that there may have been audio of the ballads in the collection taken on dictaphone...
I wonder how I might find out; correspondence with U of Michigan yielded nothing.
