Hi,

I've been putting a few new collections on my site. One book I've started putting on is Eastern Tennessee and Western Virginia Mountain Ballads- Cambiaire, 1934:

http://www.bluegrassmessengers.com/eastern-tennessee--western-virginia-mtn-ballads.aspx

The ballads and songs are here: http://www.bluegrassmessengers.com/section-i--songs-and-ballads--cambiaire-1934.aspx

This is a good collection. Celestin Pierre Cambiaire born at St. Affrique, France, December 23, 1880. I don't know much about him. Anyone know about this collection and where he was?

Not sure when it will be completely done.

Richie

I was looking around and came across this reference. The 1913 is a date.

"1913        Celestine Pierre Cambiaire, "East Tennessee and Western Virginia Mountain Ballads." pp ix-xi"

That is from

Hi,

There is a brief couple of paragraphs on the Melungeons. I see that date. So how do you think 1913 is accurate?

I don't know that I do, Richie.

The Ballad Index at

http://www.csufresno.edu/folklore/BalladIndexBib.html

tentatively dates it at 1933. I was thinking yesterday that maybe the 1934 which seems to be accepted at most sites is a "second edition" although not knowing anything about the author other than he's French and was born in 1880, I'll need to dig further.

The 1913 date seems to be a screw-up. My apologies for wasting your time.
