Our mechanism for submitting links to the links page has been down for a long time. If you have links you'd like to submit, post them here. I'd try to edit them into usable form.

Here's some Peace sent me:

• Slave Songs of the United States (William Francis Allen, 1867) - the whole book online, from the University of North Carolina
• MacEdward Leach and the Songs of Atlantic Canada - a large collection of sound recrodings and lyrics
• So far, I've seen no state do more to promote its folklore than Florida - Click here to get an idea what they do. The Florida Folk Festival and Music from the Florida Folklife Collection are two great examples, as are these activities of the Florida Memory Project.
• Well, my home state of Wisconsin has a nice online collection of folk music: Wisconsin Folksong Collection
• Halcyon Days Music - lyrics and MIDIs from songs of the late 19th and early 20th centuries
• American Memory Collection (Music), Library of Congress
• Old-time (Oldtimey) Music-Tune & Songbook

It would be helpful if people give at least a site title if not a brief description along with the url!

This one may warrant some exploration: Songs Collected by Donagh MacDonagh, who did a program on Radio Eireann called Ireland Is Singing in the 1940's and 1950's.

http://www.monologues.co.uk/ - this may already be on our links page. It's a huge collection of English music hall comedy routines. It may help me understand all those music hall CD's I have.

'Word of Mouth:The History of American Folk Music television series'

'Yes, we''re still in production, having completed principal photography Fall 2006. Tentative air date/first DVD release, Winter 2008. Check out the hundreds of important performers, educators, and illuminators we''ve interviewed on-camera in our "Gallery" section.

Shirley Collins, The Copper Family, Martyn Wyndham-Read, Martin Carthy and Wizz Jones, are among the stellar UK interviews; Pete Seeger, Guy Carawan, Irwin Silber, Barbara Dane, and the likes of Dan Bern, Todd Snider, and Devendra Banhart are also included. Nut Hill Productions, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization, so if you''d like to make a donation towards the completion of this seminal series, we''d welcome your assistance. We'd also welcome any suggestions, comments, etc.

Here's a link to a Parodies Website that Peace sent in - but he and I agree that we don't like parodies much. I checked a couple of parodies at the Website, and didn't like them at all.
But see for yourself.

I haven't explored this Website thoroughly, but what I've seen looks tantalizing - http://www.songtrellis.com/ - Music and musical know-how.
Sorcha found it and posted a link in another thread.

Our Links Page is in good working order again, so I will be gradually incorporating the best of these ad hoc links into the Mudcat links system. -Joe-
