I'd like to get the tune of Jane Turriff's version of Barbara Allen. Jane Turriff's version has also been recorded by Jean Redpath and by the Sangsters. Thank you. R

Or you could buy the fine CD of Jane Turriff. Available from some outfit called CAMSCO.

Out of print, I think. I've consulted a library copy a few times, and will try to get hold of it again.

Dick, I have the CD. It is the notation of Jane Turriff's singing that I'd like to get. R

Cross-posted with Dick. The cd is good stuff indeed, but it's specifically a transcription to staff notation that Roberto's looking for here.

My day for cross posting, evidently.
