... and (oddly) there doesn't seem to be anything relevant to your text.
There are two sides to it -- The Digital Tradition (texts) and the Forum
(discussion threads). There's often quite good material thrown up on the
Forum (some sussed people around there) but often drowned in a mass of
irrelevant verbage, so can be the devil to find anything useful.
(As my feelings about folk song collectors -- gullible idiots to a man or
woman , when they don't simply indulge in the creation of composite texts or
more than occasionally simply make things up -- are negative beyond belief,
I'm the last person to ask about this. My advice would be to stick to
printed broadside texts of what you're interested in and if not ignore
anything else, treat it with an acute degree of skepticism.)
