Kenny Goldstein goaded me into recording 21 of the Child Ballads from our family and community, and they were issued on Folkways in 1961, are still around. The two-album set(available on cd by special order from Smithsonian/Folkways)contains:

I know not everyone likes my singing voice, but it's what God gave me and I have worked hard at preserving the songs we had. We knew others too, not recorded here, The Devil's Nine Questions, Lovin Henry (Young Hunting) and a few others. It strikes me that if you folks would pitch in and record the ones YOU know (Rick, Sandy, Art, Alice and many more), we could accomplish the whole project with Mudcatters! If Kenny were here, he'd approve... incidentally, his notes that go with my records are worth the price, WITHOUT having to listen to the singing! Jean
