But first, several welcoming notes: Updated as of February 2006
Â
1] Titles are now in alphabetical groups (in a few cases with alternate
titles). See below.
Â
NEW!
LOST & FOUND
Â
If we, or other "webbers" can't help, try these good resources:
A. The Mudcat Cafe [2]maintains an extensive list of folksongs, and a very
helpful "Forum" wherein you can post a request. Also, there are numerous
links to many folk sites and much "folkie" information.
B. This is the beginning music library page for intensive searching for
data and other possible sources.www.music.indiana [3]
C. For an excellent source of Ozark Mountain and SE US songs try Southwest
Missouri State University

2] THE SONGS, WHO WROTE THEM?

Q. From W: Who wrote the wonderful songs on your internet site?
A. I wish I knew [:>)! Seriously, the music is traditional and (except for
this music exchange page) in the public domain. By and large I used
traditional lyrics, as well, occasionally changing around some text --- but
that, after all, is part of the folk tradition.

3] SONGS OF THE 20S,30S AND 40S?

Q: From M: Do you have any suggestions as to where we can get words to songs
of the 20s,30s and 40s? I'm 71, and in my youth, you could buy publications
magazine departments of "words". No longer available anywhere. . not even by
collectors. Mom in nursing home now. . . and this is one of her most fond
memories.
A. Please see the Welcome Note at the top of this page. I found excellent
sites for lyrics merely by using "Google" and entering "song lyrics" for the
search --- lots, lots, lots of sites come up. Try the University of Indiana
site or for folkmusic lyrics the Mudcat Café, (both listed above, with link
which will lead you to approx 10,000 folksongs of all descriptions. For
specific songs (eg. songs from Broadway musicals, or particular movies), try
the title of the show, if you can't find information about the song itself

4] CONSIDER USING A SEARCH ENGINE AS YOU WOULD A SHOVEL --- do a little digg
