Read also about Francis James Child and about Cecil Sharp, two early songcatchers.<BR/><BR/>I did a quick search online and found the following for your region;<BR/><BR/>http://www.umaine.edu/folklife//women_folklorists_intro.htm<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Hartness_Flanders<BR/><BR/>http://books.google.com/books?id=1LS_iV78AG8C&pg=PA160&lpg=PA160&dq=%2BBritish+%2B%22New+York+state%22+%2Bballads&source=web&ots=7ckwrG__Cb&sig=0uYcyCgB1aehk1Z0ahROdhXEpmY&hl=en<BR/><BR/>I am sure there is a rich store of New England folk music, just as there is here. I recently sent a book of Vermont ballads that I'd found in a book sale to a friend in that state, and there were several in that book that I recognized as Child ballads. <BR/><BR/>The problem of online searching for New york, of course, is that so many publishers are there that it skews the results and doesn't return what I want. I used delimiters such as plus signs and quotes to get a better list of possibilities.<BR/><BR/>I hope these are useful to you. Such great stories in ballads!Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-12993821254035193872008-05-20T18:51:00.000-04:002008-05-20T18:51:00.000-04:00That is a really beautiful ballad.

I was saying earlier today how fond I am of the mountain traditions here, and how similar I find the Irish/English folks traditions to ours. <BR/><BR/>Any suggestions for online reading?Phill https://www.blogger.com/profile/07087113754217015743noreply@blogger.com
