If you want to read previous discussions of the Max Hunter site, just put Max Hunter into the DigiTrad and Forum search box. You'll find quite a few posts.

It is a good site, and, if you are interested in how lyrics change through oral tradition, it is, indeed, a gold mine. A lot of these songs were recorded not far from where I grew up and I enjoy the familiar phrasings. It's also fun to see how some songs were adapted to local events.
