Herga ... YES, we do. There is a lot of previously unkown material out there. Years ago, you would have to tramp the hills and back trails to discover the folks to discover the songs. I'm convinced today that there is a LOT of music floating around, maybe known to just a few people. For example, check out the song I posted of the "Haywire Mac" thread .... "YE OLDE BALLAD OF SOMETHING OR OTHER." To my knowledge, it's never been recorded, or known widely. I learned it from a very personal and private source. However, as always, I may be well proved wrong, and if that happens, then I get educated. And that's part of what MUDCAT is all about. Collecting folk material have never been easy, that's part of the challenge, and that's also what makes the rewards so wonderful. Jerry, I think I just posted a HUGE thread creep, sorry. Bob
