Although he later abandoned it, Sharp made use of a phonograph for some of his fieldwork - see the anecdote (in Fox Strangways & Karpeles, Cecil Sharp, 1938, p. 43) about Sharp sitting alone with a woman making a recording 'when suddenly she stopped singing and, turning deathly white, announced that she heard her husband approaching, and as he was of a jealous disposition she was afraid he would kill Mr Sharp.' Sharp turned the situation round by telling the suspicious husband 'I've got your wife's voice in a box'. Reportedly, the suspicious husband was so delighted when Sharp played the recording back that 'he forgot to kill him, and they became great friends.'

Yes, of course. Sharp eschewed sound recording technology, even though it was newly available during his lifetime.

HI Marge
These are not field recordings but recordings we have made using Sharp's field notes. The exception is the extract from Louie Hooper which can be heard on our 'Somerset Sisters' CD. If you want to hear samples of the songs go to www.cdbaby.com
Yours
Yvette

Hi Folks,
The February edition of Worlds of Trad Internet radio is now uploaded, will be on-line until Wednesday March 12th, and features the very best in traditional folk, ethnic, world, roots, blues, old time country and early jazz; in fact traditional music from absolutely everywhere.
This months exotic extravaganza shows us why George Lewis and Ralph Stanley were big in Japan; the innocents of Dingwall Primary School mull over the gory remnants of Casey the Cowboy; theres a bundle of returned lover ballads from Sam McGee, O.J. Abbott and Roscoe Holcomb; The Kessinger Brothers, Humphrey Lyttleton and Andy Cohen take us up the Mississippi and down the Chesapeake; Jean Ritchie, Christine Tyrell, The Coon Creek Girls and Marta Sebestyn take flying lessons; John Petters and James Campbell breathe new life into a hoary old chestnut; theres some good old Yankee fiddlin; some good old Irish jigs and reels; some more of those risqu piano blues, and much more besides. In fact, if you want to know why Hannah Johnson had to sell her Big Jack Ass, and how much she got for it, youre just gonna have to log on to Worlds of Trad.
The full playlist is below and can be seen at http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=160651486 .
And at http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=108617&messages=1
