Regarding the Cantaria website.
http://chivalry.com/cantaria/lists/alpha.html
Feed the above into your address bar for some Folk song lyrics and the ability to play them through your P/C. Appreciate that many of you may know it already but for anyone who doesn't..
Best wishes.

You've probanly all been here a thousand times, and the songs are probably all on the digitrad anyway, but have a look at this
and feel free to comment.

The handy thing is being able to hear the song sung in in its most basic form.

Thanks for the link - good stuff! Never heard "Itches in my britches" before, but suspect our club will be hearing it in the not-too-distant future...

some of it a bit lacking, bu some, particularly a couple of the Irish songs sung a cappella are well worth a go.

whatever else, it's not a bad resource as everything I've listened to so far is pretty raw, unaffected and open to interpretation.

Hello, Folk. I went to look up something on Cantaria and it's gone. Site taken down. Squatters now on the Chivalry.com premises. Site available for tens of thousands of dollars, if you care to get the license from them. There are still many, many links to the Cantaria Folk Song Archive out there, but they go to an undead squatter site. Does anyone know what happened to Kathleen Akers and to the content that was hosted on Chivalry, Cantaria, and the Missouri Celtic Arts sites?? The new owners have had it since late August of this year. Like DigiTrad, it was a darned good idea. Thanks. -- Heather

Oh, that's too bad. I hope it comes back. Seems like the heyday of that website was 2007. Here's an archive.org snapshot of the Website back thern:

Here's a snapshot of the Website from 3 Sept 2014, the most recent date available:

Thank you, Joe! I was just worried... especially since nobody seemed to have said anything about the site going away.

For those who have Websites that are of value to folk music people, please be aware that one way or another, we will host archived websites. Look at the QuickLinks dropdown menu on most Mudcat pages, and you will see several.
I host Jon Freeman's wonderful folkinfo.org Website on my own Website:

http://www.joe-offer.com/folkinfo/

We don't want wonderful Websites like Cantaria to disappear, so we'll do what it takes to preserve them if you ask.
Will Cantaria be perpetually available at archive.org? I hope so.
