Subject: Say, Darlin', Say
A friend of mine is looking for background info on a couple of old time songs. One is "Say, Darlin', Say" and the other is "Hop High My Lulu Girl".

I've checked the folk music index at the Johns Hopkins website and found that Hop High has only been recorded once, by Dirk Powell, and the earliest recording of "Say, Darlin', Say" was performed by The Stoneman Family and released on Folkways in 1957. A websearch hasn't yielded anything else. Anybody know anything about them?
