Thread Name: Origins: The Jacket of Blue
Subject: RE: research to ballad - The Jacket of Blue
I have gone through Masato's links and have studied what you have posted and 'Yes' all seems to point to what you say is correct. I know that what may be obvious to some collectors, may not be as obvious to others. I wasn't trying to be awkward or appear (at least I hope not) rude when I questioned you. I have been collecting ballads for many a year ( I am starting to feel quite old now) and at times it is easier to ask if someone has researched the information one seeks to save time. I supose I have 'too many iron's in the fire' at present. Anyway, I thank you for you help (and Masato)I am compiling work for publication at present and this was something that slipped in unexpected. Many thanks once again.
