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 month’s 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; there’s 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; there’s some good old Yankee fiddlin’; some good old Irish jigs and reels; some more of those risqué 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, you’re 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



        To listen to the programme, go to http://www.live365.com/stations/oneworldmusic , and click on the yellow speaker button. If you haven’t listened before you’ll need to follow the onscreen instructions to download the station player. Then wait a moment or two and the station will be on the air.



        The music’s great, listening is free and I'm glad to receive requests.



        As always, this e-mail is being sent to everyone in my address book. If you’d rather not be disturbed, send an e-mail to [log in to unmask], with the words DELETE ME in the subject heading, and you will be troubled no more.



        Happy listening, and all that stuff,



        Fred McCormick
